"Your move."

The Businessmen Have to Make Decisions from Many Options

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.

"Peterson proposes we move out of the mountains."

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

"So let's roll up our sleeves and show that America still builds the world's greatest advertising."

Target your customer.

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

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

'What kind of a mission statement is that?'

'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!"

Business Target

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

Game changing

'Don't look now, but I think we're being followed.'

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

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

'And this will be our strategic plan for the coming year.'

'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!'

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

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

Challenge and solution

Think Tank.

Thinking both inside and outside the box.

'Alternatively you can just focus on the CUSTOMER!'

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

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

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

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

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