Strategy Workshop Prints

"So we're agreed our strategy is to agree strategies for identifying a strategy that will guide us to increase profits."

"Looks like we found the issue."

'If I had to use one word to describe our strategy.'

"Bert, I'm confused. What happens after we circle the wagons, tighten our belts and walk a mile in our customer's shoes? Is that when the chickens come home to roost?"

The Department of Really Stupid Ideas: 'Most people think they just appear out of thin air! But the truth is, there's a great deal of very hard work involved!'

'And were there a point to your proposal, Henderson - What would it be?'

"And need I remind you, the 'art of the deal' is the lifeblood of this company."

'Williams, we're not used to receiving such excellent ideas as these, so we'd like to tone them down a bit.'

"You've got to fill in these forms to join the 'How to reduce bureaucracy' seminar."

"Marshall, somewhere out there, just waiting for us, is a loophole in the system."

"Miracles happen, gentlemen, but they don't come cheap."

'I think you are taking this elevator pitch way too literally'.

Brian wanted to call the presentation "Synergy". Paula wanted to call it "Cooperation". They could never agree.

"I'm afraid 'It's a surprise', doesn't cut it as a growth strategy."

"Yeah, but that one's a little bit hard to reach."

'Which 'win' is ours? Because the one on the left looks bigger.'

"I don't like getting bogged down in details. I'm more of a big-picture guy."

'I'll make my final decision on that promotion of yours, after this game.'

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

"So, we look to the fourth quarter as a time of healing."

"Maybe now, we could look at customer care'?"

'I vote we hang the darn thing upside down and go home!'

"Obviously some people here don't appreciate the gravity of our situation."

'We want everyone to remember our name.'

"Be patient. He'll have to visit the water cooler sooner or later."

Nothing Succeeds Like Confidence.

"The trend in tough economic times is to put off everything that doesn't require immediate action ? as this chart shows."

"Then we have an unspoken agreement?"

"Would you say that the sales projections in your 3 year plan are realistic?"

'How can we solve this problem by eating?'

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

"Any questions?"

'Now, keep in mind that these numbers are only as accurate as the fictitious data, ludicrous assumptions and wishful thinking they're based upon!'

'You think I'm crazy; I think you're crazy...finally some common ground!'

"Dammit, Johnson. You've got to start thinking outside of the box."
