    burden of finding matter as well as
    language; . . . For an English exercise, the
    matter should in some way or other be
    supplied, and the pupil disciplined in giving
    it expression.”

  19. Strategy Cycle
    From Simon Wardley
    @swardley

    View Slide

  20. Strategy Cycle as Table – Loop #1
    Chapters 3 to 7
    Purpose Put out the fire - stop the bleeding - don't run out cash - be profitable
    Moral Imperative Patriotism - IBM's a national treasure/asset that we must rescue/save
    Landscape See Map
    Doctrine See map
    Climatic Patterns N/A
    Decide & Act Major decision: reposition the mainframe in order to cut its price.
    (1) Keep the company together
    [based on Landscape + a couple of Climatic Patterns – pp. 57-61]
    (2) Change the fundamental economic model. Reduce waste. (pp. 62-63)
    (3) Re-engineer how we did business (implementation took about 10 yrs)
    around 11 areas. Goal: improve doctrine + save money
    (4) Sell underproductive assets in order to raise cash. Generate money
    • Very urgent in first two years: 1993 to 1995
    • Not urgent but continued in subsequent years

    Purpose Put out the fire - stop the bleeding - don't run out cash - be profitable

    Climatic Patterns N/A
    Decide & Act Re-engineering:
    • in 1993 alone, from obvious excess, saved $2.8 Billion.
    • By end of 1995, had saved $2 Billion, just in IT.
    From 1994 to 1998, total savings from reengineering were $9.5 Billion
    (I'm assuming a time period of 8 years - from 1993 to 2001)
    (1) for Hardware development: from 4 years to 16 months
    (2) for on-time product delivery rates from 30% (in 1995) to 95% (in 2001)
    (3) inventory costs reduced by $80 million
    (4) write-offs reduced by $600 million
    (5) delivery costs reduced by $270 million
    (6) avoided material costs close to $15 Billion

  22. “Some books are to be tasted, others to be
    swallowed, and some few to be chewed and
    digested: that is, some books are to be read only
    in parts, others to be read, but not curiously,
    and some few to be read wholly, and with
    diligence and attention.” — Sir Francis Bacon, “The
    Essays”
