Over the past few years we've spent a lot of time and effort transforming Pearson from a disparate group into a more coherent company. We are a large family of businesses that are a lot alike and all share the same aim - to help our customers get on in, and make the most of, their lives. Pearson is the world's leading publisher and we want to make the most of it. Where it makes sense to share assets - such as intellectual property, content, design, brands and back offices - we are doing it more and more. Collaboration across Pearson isn't just about reducing costs, it's also helping us to create new products with some fantastic results.
