  4. “Income Confers No Immunity as Jobs Migrate”—Headline/USA Today/February2004

  5. “There is no job that is America’s God-given right anymore.”—Carly Fiorina/HP/January2004

  6. Sydney Morning Herald/ 25October2005Quantas.Lay off thousands of mechanics.Maintenance to China.

  7. “There is no job that is Australia’s God-given right anymore.”—Tom Peters/10.26.2005

  8. Period!

  9. “If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less.” —General Eric Shinseki, Chief of Staff. U. S. Army

  10. Pathetic!

  11. “Forbes100” from 1917 to 1987: 39 members of the Class of ’17 were alive in ’87; 18 in ’87 F100; 18 F100 “survivors” underperformed the market by 20%; just 2 (2%), GE & Kodak, outperformed the market 1917 to 1987.S&P 500 from 1957 to 1997: 74 members of the Class of ’57 were alive in ’97; 12 (2.4%) of 500 outperformed the market from 1957 to 1997.Source: Dick Foster & Sarah Kaplan, Creative Destruction: Why Companies That Are Built to Last Underperform the Market

  12. “I am often asked by would-be entrepreneurs seeking escape from life within huge corporate structures, ‘How do I build a small firm for myself?’ The answer seems obvious:Buy a very large one and just wait.”—Paul Ormerod, Why Most Things Fail: Evolution, Extinction and Economics

  13. Brilliant!

  14. “A focus on cost-cutting and efficiency has helped many organizations weather the downturn, but this approach will ultimately render them obsolete.Only the constant pursuit of innovation can ensure long-term success.”—Daniel Muzyka, Dean, Sauder School of Business, Univ of British Columbia (FT/09.17.04)

  15. “Under his former boss, Jack Welch, the skills GE prized above all others were cost-cutting, efficiency and deal-making. What mattered was the continual improvement of operations, and that mindset helped the $152 billion industrial and finance behemoth become a marvel of earnings consistency. Immelt hasn’t turned his back on the old ways.But in his GE, the new imperatives are risk-taking, sophisticated marketing and, above all, innovation.”—BW/032805

  16. Resist!

  17. “Not a single company that qualified as having made a sustained transformation ignited its leap with a big acquisition or merger.Moreover, comparison companies—those that failed to make a leap or, if they did, failed to sustain it—often tried to make themselves great with a big acquisition or merger. They failed to grasp the simple truth that while you can buy your way to growth, you cannot buy your way to greatness.”—Jim Collins/Time/11.29.04

  18. Scale?

  19. “I don’t believe in economies of scale.You don’t get better by being bigger. You get worse.”—Dick Kovacevich/Wells Fargo/Forbes08.04 (ROA: Wells, 1.7%; Citi, 1.5%; BofA, 1.3%; J.P. Morgan Chase, 0.9%)

  20. Scale?“Microsoft’s Struggle With Scale” —Headline, FT, 09.2005“Troubling Exits at Microsoft” —Cover Story, BW, 09.2005“Too Big to Move Fast?”—Headline, BW, 09.2005

  21. Spinoffsperform better than IPOs … track record, profits … “freed from the confines of the parent … more entrepreneurial, more nimble”—Jerry Knight/Washington Post/08.05

  22. Focus!

  23. Scale’s Limitations:“All Strategy Is Local:True competitive advantages are harder to find and maintain than people realize. The odds are best in tightly drawn markets, not big, sprawling ones” —Title/Bruce Greenwald & Judd Kahn/HBR09.05

  24. Different!

  25. “The ‘surplus society’ has a surplus of similar companies, employing similarpeople, with similareducational backgrounds, coming up with similarideas, producing similarthings, with similarprices and similarquality.”Kjell Nordström and Jonas Ridderstråle, Funky Business

  26. “Value innovation is about making the competition irrelevant by creating uncontested market space. We argue that beating the competition within the confines of the existing industry is not the way to create profitable growth.” —Chan Kim & Renée Mauborgne (INSEAD), from Blue Ocean Strategy (The Times/London)

  27. “Acquisitions are about buying market share. Our challenge is to create markets. There is a big difference.”Peter Job, CEO, Reuters

  28. GH/TP:“Get better”vs“Get different”

  29. “This is an essay about what it takes to create and sell something remarkable. It is a plea for originality, passion, guts and daring. You can’t be remarkable by following someone else who’s remarkable. One way to figure out a theory is to look at what’s working in the real world and determine what the successes have in common. But what could the Four Seasons and Motel 6 possibly have in common? Or Neiman-Marcus and Wal*Mart? Or Nokia (bringing out new hardware every 30 days or so) and Nintendo (marketing the same Game Boy 14 years in a row)? It’s like trying to drive looking in the rearview mirror.The thing that all these companies have in common is that they have nothing in common.They are outliers. They’re on the fringes. Superfast or superslow. Very exclusive or very cheap. Extremely big or extremely small. The reason it’s so hard to follow the leader is this: The leader is the leader precisely because he did something remarkable. And that remarkable thing is now taken—so it’s no longer remarkable when you decide to do it.” —Seth Godin, Fast Company/02.2003

  33. “The ‘mass market’ is dead. Consumers look for either price or quality. The middle is untenable.”—Walter Robb/COO/Whole Foods/Investors Business Daily/06.20.05

  34. “Cheap” vs “Cool”: The OptionsCheap: Nowhere to go except “more cheap”!Problem: the inevitable “next Dell”/“next /Wal*Mart” arrives with new biz model; meanwhile you drift toward more complexity/sluggishness, especially if you undertake sizeable mergers.Cool: From “Cool” (with reasonable costs) to “Stay Cool”/“Better” vs “Different.” Accelerate charge Up the VA Ladder. Tactics: (1) “Up the experience ladder,” (2) Gamechanger Innovation. If not: “Cool” drifts/staggers toward untenable “Middle.”
