With out a lot to do at work today, Jim replies to both: Peter, I liked your image as well. Very pastoral Sonny, to answer your question... ANDERSEN CONSULTING: Deregulation of the cow's side of the road was threatening its dominant market position. The cow was faced with significant challenges to create and develop the competencies required for the newly competitive market. Andersen Consulting, in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the cow by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Cattle Integration Model (CIM), Andersen helped the cow use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital and experiences to align the cow's people, processes and technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management framework. Andersen Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best cows along with Anderson consultants with deep skills in the transportation industry to engage in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their personal knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit, and to enable them to synergize with each other in order to achieve the implicit goals of delivering and successfully architecting and implementing an enterprise- wide value framework across the continuum of cattle cross-median processes. The meeting was held in a park-like setting, enabling and creating an impactful environment which was strategically based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the cow's mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards the creation of a total business integration solution. Andersen Consulting helped the cow change to become more successful.
