Why did the chicken cross the road?

KINDERGARTEN TEACHER:

To get to the other side.

 

PLATO:

For the greater good.

 

ARISTOTLE:

It is the nature of chickens to cross roads.

 

KARL MARX:

It was a historical inevitability.

 

DARWIN:

Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected in such a way that they are now genetically disposed to cross roads.

 

EINSTEIN:

Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.

 

ANDERSEN CONSULTING:

Deregulation of the chicken's side of the road was threatening its dominant market position.

 

The chicken 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 chicken by re-thinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes.

 

Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM), Andersen helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital and experiences to align the chicken'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 chickens 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 poultry cross-median processes.

 

The meeting was held in a park-like setting, enabling and creating an impact environment which was strategically based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent, clear, and unified market message and aligned with the chicken's mission, vision, and core values.

 

This was conducive towards the creation of a total business integration solution.

Andersen Consulting helped the chicken change to become more successful!
