Not a bad place to read case studies!Today we are deeply in strategy, leadership and the mexican crisis. (some might say which one of the many crisis )
one of the great learning quotes:-
"The customer oriented company begins with the market and lets it guide every decision, every investment and every change. stirring stuff."
We also spent time working through the case of mesco, which burnt $2 billion entering the usa furniture market and in the process damaging its reputation for years, as a result of an incorrect strategy. I think i have seen a few of those over the years!
Mexico was fascinating, like ground hog day, but things in Mexico are on the up as a result of an independent reserve bank and better democracy!
Talk of Obama amongst people I met has been interesting with a few Democrats questioning his effectiveness:- is that...... "all talk"
i guess the jury is still out.
Tomorrow, its Henry Ford versus Alfred Sloan.
Tonight is out to Boston North for a team dinner
