Strategy Fan Pillows

They had no idea what they were doing, but it didn't matter...

"Well yes, going over the fence would be one option: Step aside, I'll try my way first..."

"I had a brainstorm at the Existential Marketing Seminar. What if we did nothing?"

A fight in the Boardroom.

"'Quid pro quo' is a no-no, Bradbury. Around here we say 'reciprocal altruism'."

'Ah, Galagher, we made good use of your proposal.'

"...but the big question is, does the competition know that we don't know what we don't know?"

After a day long meeting, the decision, as usual, is made in the hallway.

The Trojan Beagle.

'Our problem is how to lower quality while raising prices...'

"Peterson proposes we move out of the mountains."

Target your customer.

'Why can't we just kick Caesar upstairs?'

"Now I'll demonstrate how, with a minimum of capital investment, you can make a mountain out of a molehill!"

'What are we, wimps? Are we gonna let a bunch of rabbits push us all over the field? Come on, big guys.'

'We took the old plan, folded in half, and now it's the new plan.'

Maybe it's now time to review our customer care strategy!"

"But I won't bore you with the all too familiar story of a dictator's rise to absolute power,"

"It's not bulls**t if we call it strategy."

Game changing

Business Target

'We're well positioned, but we lack leadership.'

"When it comes to online marketing, I'm puzzled."

'You should agree with me, but not all the time, Try mixing it up a little,'

'I have no one to blame but myself, for now.'

'Good news from the field, sire! Attila did not like the referee's call, so he's folding up his tents, taking his ball and going home!'

'Alternatively you can just focus on the CUSTOMER!'

'Sir, the company's had another successful month treading water.'

Thinking both inside and outside the box.

Think Tank.

'With 5% spent on talent, 5% on production, and 90% on marketing...I smell WINNER!'

'It takes great courage of conviction to know you're wrong, yet still proceed forward.'

'We're plowing our excess profits back into justifying our profits.'

'Someone round here has to make the important decisions.'

'I'm prepared to offer you a raise, if you work hard. I knew there'd be a catch.'
