19 Standard Products Limited Family Grocers Division(FGD)
Distribution plan Presentation to the Executive Board

20 Today’s Agenda S Market review.
FGD’s market position & contribution to SPL. The changes required in distribution and the options. Strategies and Recommendations for approval.

21 Aiming for profitable no.1
S SPL’s corporate mission is to be the leading confectionery supplier in every market in which it operates, and to increase shareholder value annually by at least 5% more than Market Indices.

22 Stretching budget S Annual volume of 6.5m cases, up 5% on previous year; Net Profit of $40m, up $5m vs previous year; Market Share 26%, up 1 point vs previous year.

23 Large, Fragmented Market
S Family grocers account for 25% of the country’s confectionery market - $500m by value; 24.8m cases by volume. 31,250 family grocer shops, nationwide: 25,500 concentrated in 20 major cities; 90% (28,125) independently owned and family run; more than 60% are owned by Indians. Serviced by approximately 10 different major suppliers via: direct delivery, wholesalers, merchandising services and cash & carry warehouses.

24 Star performer in SPL Group
Last year sales of $125m (6.2m cases) - up 8% vs. the previous year, compared to a flat performance by the rest of SPL. FGD are market leader with 25% SOM vs SPL’s 18% national average; 10% points greater than our main competitor.

25 Availability Key to Success
FGD has 25,000 customers: 80% of all family grocers in the country; 84% of the independent customers. FGD delivers direct to 22,000 outlets, 80% located in the 20 largest cities. Causal Chain

26 Board demands distribution savings for re-investment
C The SPL Main Board has decided to cease all direct distribution to save $20m over 3 years (to be re-invested in brand building). Estimated savings of $15m in FGD could be nullified by the potential loss of the family grocers business which has been built around: our availability nationwide; servicing 88% of our customers through direct delivery.

27 Walkers to mount negative PR campaign
Our main competitor Walkers, with only 15% of this sector, has confirmed their policy of direct delivery by renewing their main fleet contracts. They will almost certainly mount a campaign accusing us of deserting the family grocers.

28 We must steal share C Pressure from multiples is forecast to keep growth below 2% (ACN Economic Forecast). We cannot hit our stretching objectives via organic growth

29 Combination solution required
There is no single alternative system that offers the same coverage; Patel, the leading wholesalers, reaches only 60% of family grocers shops; Cash & Carry outlets (e.g., Smiths) demand promotional allowances with no assurances or guarantees; The various merchandising services vary enormously in coverage and quality. The most reliable is Rhonda’s.

30 The question we must ask ourselves is:
PQ How can we combine the strengths of the alternative distribution options to: Maintain nationwide coverage; Deliver $15m savings from FGD by the end of the plan; Reassure our customers that FGD is not deserting them in the face of the potential threat from Walkers; to ensure we meet budget, secure market share growth and increase shareholder value annually by at least 5% more than market indices?

31 A Nationwide distribution deals with, A loyalty-building promotion.
FGD can secure a 26% market share and meet the budget of 6.5m cases and $40m net profit, provided we retain 80% coverage. This will require an investment of some of the distribution savings across three crucial areas: A Nationwide distribution deals with, Patel InterCity Wholesalers; Smiths Cash & Carry chain; Rhonda’s Mobile Merchandising Group. A loyalty-building promotion. Investment in new display cabinets.

32 STRATEGY 1: Nationwide distribution deals with Patel, Smiths and Rhonda’s.
RE Patel – we will sign a three-year rolling contract with two components: A minimum annual volume agreement; Joint funding of in-store promotion activity. HOW 3 years is our plan period and FGD needs Patel to commit to our plans. Patel has committed to volume sales, dropping all competitive brands, as follows: Cases Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 000’s 250 3,900 4,200 4,800 Joint-funding will ensure that Patel implements our programmes to increase SOM. WHY

33 RE HOW WHY FGD will commit to annual volume incentives for Patel:
STRATEGY 1: Nationwide distribution deals with Patel. 1.1 Annual volume agreement RE FGD will commit to annual volume incentives for Patel: 2.5% over-riding discount on sales over $70m – the cost will be offset by a lower discount on sales below $70m. $500K sales force incentives. HOW Patel will accept a lower margin (7.5% vs 10%) for volume and an over-riding discount on sales over $70m to increase SOM. Patel has a 50 strong telesales team supporting 100 salespeople nationwide calling on 16,000 businesses monthly. They will hire 25 new salespeople exclusively for family grocers. WHY

34 RE HOW WHY FGD commits to jointly promote retailer loyalty:
STRATEGY 1: Nationwide distribution deals with Patel. 1.2 Joint funding of in-store promotion activity. RE FGD commits to jointly promote retailer loyalty: $400K over two years in new display cabinets (see Strategy 3). $100K per annum advertising in Patel’s PIW Monthly journal, promoting the new in-store initiatives. HOW Joint ownership of display cabinets will double the total spend to $800K, encourage placement of displays by Patel and secure 100% coverage in 2 years (see Strategy 3); PIW Monthly is circulated to all Indian owned family grocers, and Patel has agreed to a 30% discount on their standard rates. $100K will secure 52 weeks back-page copy. WHY

35 STRATEGY 2 Support distribution deals by investing in a high profile loyalty promotion backed by PR and advertising. RE Air miles promotion based on individual purchases gaining in value over frequency of order and value: orders = 1 mile per $100. orders = 2 miles per $100. orders = 4 miles per $100. Total cost £3.2m over 3 years. HOW Walkers will mount a negative campaign, claiming we have deserted the family grocer. Retaining customer loyalty will be the key to success in the first year of our switch to third party deliveries. Air miles are popular with Indian shopkeepers – many of whom have large families. The promotion will encourage frequency of purchase. WHY

36 STRATEGY 2 Support distribution deals by investing in a high profile loyalty promotion backed by PR and advertising. RE Launch a PR programme costing $300K: hire Madhur Jaffrey the famous Indian actress and writer on Indian cooking to support the promotion with personal appearances. HOW Retaining customers is five times cheaper than regaining them: We must show our commitment to family groups. Madhur Jaffrey’s wide appeal will demonstrate that our programmes are exclusive, not bland and impersonal. WHY

37 RE HOW WHY Support promotion through advertising in:
STRATEGY 2 Support distribution deals by investing in a high profile loyalty promotion backed by PR and advertising. RE Support promotion through advertising in: Patel’s own journal, PIW Monthly, included in back-page copy (for costs see Strategy 1); The Grocer and Marketing Week, for launch period (first 3 months) costing $75K. HOW Our PR campaign must be advertised: PIW Monthly is published in three Indian languages. The Grocer and Marketing Week is UK’s largest circulation trade magazine. WHY

38 STRATEGY 3 Retain and improve in-store presence by investing £800K in new display cabinets for stocking exclusivity. RE Commission Watsons to manufacture 12,500 new upright, gravity-fed display units costing $800K in year 1 (net $400K with $400K from Patel). HOW Most family grocers have room for only one display unit. We must be first. Watsons, at $64 vs $87 per unit, is the most competitive supplier. 12,500 units will give 50% coverage in the first year; Watsons offer a 15% reduction on 12,500 WHY

39 STRATEGY 3 Retain and improve in-store presence by investing $800K in new display cabinets for stocking exclusivity. RE Offer units (through our two distribution agents) free to our customers in return for 200 cases per annum commitment; Exclusivity of display for our products. Offer custom-built displays for Patel and Smiths. HOW Display units offer a proven +20% uplift in sales - $25.0m on a full year’s sales; $6.25m in the first year. 200 cases equates to 9 months average sales. This will secure loyalty. Display material is key to loyalty: Customised units will give incentive for Patel and Smiths to place and display. WHY

44 Presentation to the Dubai Tourist Board
DUBAI FUN IN THE SUN! Presentation to the Dubai Tourist Board

45 AGENDA Dubai today Challenges of Tourism
Proposals and Recommendations for approval

46 BUILDING A TOURIST INDUSTRY
The Dubai tourist board has the aim of establishing Dubai as a major European tourist winter destination. They are budgeting for 150,000 winter visitors per annum from Europe, generating $500m revenue in invisible earnings Easily accessible Dubai is less than six hours flight from most of Europe's major capital cities Emirates – the flagship airline – serves all the major capitals of Europe with regular daily flights

47 SUPERB INFRASTRUCTURE
$50bn in the last 10 years has been invested on infrastructure – roads, airport, harbours and state of the art telecommunications In 1999, the world’s tallest and most luxurious hotel - seventy-six stories – was completed The new airport terminal, opened in March 2000 is state of the art, hassle-free and superbly equipped

48 NATURAL BEAUTY & GRACIOUS HOSPITALITY
Dubai has 12 hours per day of Winter sunshine, & beautiful, unspoiled beaches and gracious Arab hosts Superb snorkeling, Deep-sea fishing & magnificent desert scapes Gracious Arab hospitality Bazaars Medieval Arab towns Desert Oases

49 LIBERAL SAFE, AND SOPHISTICATED ENVIRONMENT
The alcohol laws have long been liberalised so that they are now comparable with most Western countries Western dress is accepted and crime is minimal – visitors can wander unmolested and unhindered in most areas Dubai has staged some elite major international events such as golf competitions & horse racing

50 EVERY TASTE ACCOMMODATED
Government co-operation with international leisure corporations has resulted in the development of every kind of leisure and entertainment facility: Excellent English, Italian, French, German, Chinese and Indian restaurants abound Hotels, Nightclubs and shows to suit all pockets Fabulous shopping malls with duty free bargains Marinas, racecourses, and magnificent green golf courses

51 COMPETITION STEALING VISITORS
Last year, the total number of winter tourists from Europe was 90,000, up 5% on the prior year but 40% below the target of 150,000. This compares unfavorably with Tunisia & Morocco who both reported hotel occupancy up 17%, with European winter visitors at a record high of over 500,000 between them

52 BACKERS NERVOUS 2 major International hotel groups with substantial investments in Dubai are questioning the long term viability of Dubai’s tourist industry. There is a concern that they may decide to scale down their investments, or worse still, may withdraw from Dubai completely.

53 ELITIST AND NARROW FOCUS
International events: the Dubai Desert Classic golf tournament, and the Dubai Cup horse race, although very successful, are seen as narrow, male dominated & pursuits of the rich elite. Moreover, they do nothing to illustrate the liberal laws, or help to showcase the other major attractions.

54 MESSAGE NOT RECEIVED Recent surveys* reveal that most Europeans:
Are unaware of Dubai's liberal alcohol laws Do not know about the relaxed dress code See it as a luxury resort for wealthy Arabs only Continue to identify Dubai with the fundamentalism of Saudi Arabia or Iran, & fear Middle Eastern terrorism. *EuroSurveys: Dubai Holiday Survey Causal Chain

55 GROWING INTERNATIONAL EVENTS CALENDAR
Fashion houses such as Zara, Versace, Gap, Gucci and Yves St Laurent are all interested in exotic venues to show & display their new fashions Wine growers in Australia, S America and S Africa have expressed interest in a winter wine festival

72 Ferrara Footwear Distribution Review

73 Agenda Market position Business configuration
New distribution imperative Options available Strategies To grow profits and sales by 10% annually

74 Fastest growing shoe company
Ferrara’s business is concentrated in North and Central Italy, which accounts for 72% of the total Italian domestic shoe market It has grown its share of the market from 9% to 15% over three years Last year the company achieved $52m profit before tax on $326m Sales The plan is to increase this by at least 10% annually over the next 3 years

75 Quality products from a loyal, productive workforce
The company enjoys higher than average productivity due to less time lost per annum in industrial action (2% v 11% national ave) The workforce is highly skilled due to low staff turnover with average tenure of 12 years The company has always prided itself on its excellent workforce producing our quality range of male and female fashion, leisure and sports footwear

76 Organised for direct distribution
Lorries/Trucks & Drivers 100 Sales 50 Marketing 15 Manufacturing, Admin, Accounts & Distribution 2,000 TOTAL Headcount 2,165 The total annual payroll is $33m

77 Multiples provide 55% of profit
A highly profitable export business relying on distributors contributes 5% to Sales generating 10% of Profits 5,000 Independent retailers account for 25% of Sales and 35% of Profits Four main retail chains with 2,500 outlets account for 70% of Sales and 55% of Profits

78 Distribution change threatens current success
Due to economies of scale, the four chain retailers wish to move to centralised warehousing and distribution, within 3 months they are requesting a 15% reduction in cost price They will only source from suppliers conforming to the new system Contributing 55% of our profits, we cannot afford to refuse them Causal Chain

79 Change will cause surplus resources
DISTRIBUTION Current System Proposed System Multiple 2,500 4 Independents 5,000 Total Outlets 7,500 5,004 Under this system, 70% of Ferrara’s turnover will go to 4 distribution points, rather than 2,500. We will have 350 excess people, 25 trucks & drivers and 4000sqm warehouse space.

80 Redundancy a last resort
With a heavily unionised workforce and long tenure (12 years), redundancy costs will be huge (estimated at $5m). Redundancies also open the company up to the threat of industrial action amongst employees, impacting productivity and distribution . . .

81 Independent distributors must be protected
5,000 independent retailers will be concerned about increased competitiveness of Multiples They are more vulnerable to industrial action than the 4 Multiples It is essential that we retain their goodwill & current service levels.

82 Market areas for growth can be explored
We have only 15% of our main market (North and Central Italy) We have a 1% SOM in South Italy with a market valued at $1Bn. Exports to EU and USA via distributors are highly profitable. We should consider a more proactive policy 70% of our main customers have expressed positive interest in our experimental “Ferarra for Kids” range

83 Ferarra’s Pivotal Question
How can we re-deploy our surplus distribution resources to satisfy the demands of the multiples, maintain service levels to the independents develop opportunities for new products and new markets without impacting employee relations and maintaining sales and market share growth?

84 We can grow profits to at least $62m next year and satisfy the four multiples by
Developing South Italy Building on our export success Growing our main market with new product lines Underpinning product and market diversification by retraining and relocating surplus staff

Options for progress Strategic recommendations for your approval

88 S Aiming for the top Our mission is to be Brazils most profitable & successful club both on and off the field

89 Prestigious History 3 League Championships Won FA cup twice
S. American Cup winners in 1990 Best supported club in Brazil 45k per game V's 38k league average

90 Community focus gives us pool of new talent
Support RDA ‘Sport in Community’ programme Good source of youth talent Respected as focal point in high unemployment area

91 Value pricing fills 51k capacity stadium
10k $15 (Vs $20 at other clubs) 41K $10 (Vs $15) 20 Home games per season

92 Balanced cash flow $10m per season from ticket sales
$20m from sale of youth talent to European leagues Paid off loans & funded minor ground improvements No overdraft or external investment Causal Chain

93 C Poor team performance Bottom half of league with no trophies for 8 years Players too old due to policy of selling youth to fund cash flow Buoyant transfer market fuelled by European salary explosion

94 Declining Supporters = Declining Revenue
Last years crowd of 45k was down from 50k in previous years Next years season ticket sales down 25% Projecting 30% loss of revenue ($3m) if we do not improve on field performance.

95 Fans demand $30m investment in new talent
C Fans demand $30m investment in new talent We need a minimum of 6 top quality players Average cost per player = $5m This equates to 3 years ticket sales revenue

96 We must have all seating stadium within 2 years
C We must have all seating stadium within 2 years Law change after stadia disasters 80% of our ground is terracing Conversion of standing to seats will cost $18.5m

97 RDA insist on 51k capacity = $25m investment
Fears of vote loosing if capacity reduced Want MRFC to remain focal point We will need more land & brand new facility - estimate $25m cost

98 Raising ticket prices is not an option
Area of high unemployment We have a long history of supporting our community, not ripping them off Alternate sources of finance are required

99 Other clubs have taken a commercial route
Sponsorships are readily available at both local & international levels Merchandising of kit and other items can be very lucrative Satellite & cable TV companies are buying up rights (Av. Deals = $15m p.a.) Food concessions are low risk/high yield Many European clubs have gone public

100 There is talent available in the market
C There is talent available in the market Rivaldo is a local boy who would return to Brazil for love not money Most of the Man. UTD squad prefer the sun to an English winter Many German players are shell shocked following England’s stunning 5-1 victory & are seeking somewhere to recuperate

101 The question we must ask ourselves is:
PQ The question we must ask ourselves is: How can we generate an additional $55m without increasing ticket prices in order to: Improve team performance Comply with the law change Satisfy the RDA requirements for 51k capacity Exploiting the commercial opportunities available & our strong heritage so that we achieve our aim of being Brazils most successful club both on & off the field?

102 Commission Botchit & Scarper to build new stadium
MRFC can be top of the league within 2 years in a brand new 51k capacity stadium if we implement the following strategies: Raise funds via: Sponsorship, TV rights, merchandising, Concessions & floatation Commission Botchit & Scarper to build new stadium Buy 6 top players from available pool of talent Set up youth development programme

107 Consistent growth in volume, turnover & profits
Average growth 15% per annum Last year 34m cases, $95.8m sales, $17.2m profit, 6.7% Share of market.

108 Strong in most profitable channels
Specialise in 1Ltr glass returnable bottles as result of $3m production investment in 1996 Complimented by 33cl cans 65% of volume & 75% of profits from bars & kiosks Causal Chain

109 Market shift nullified glass strategy
C We opted for glass at the same time JoltCo launched plastic in 1, 1.5 & 2Ltr sizes. Market changed overnight (plastic now outsells glass 3:1) RHP board lost all confidence in Solko

110 No confidence = no investment in growth areas
Diet is 34% of market (from 8% in ’95) – we are only in regular Vending grown 15 fold & is double margin ($6 per case) but we are only testing Supermarket sales have doubled whilst bars & kiosks (our traditional strengths) are virtually static

111 We are losing market share & internal credibility
70% growth in last 4 years – we’ve not kept pace Share down from 9.5% in ‘96 to 6.7% 4 GM’s in 3 years, best sales staff have left, remainder de-motivated

112 Growth opportunities abound
C Soft drink market to grow at 25% pa for next 5 years Poland’s consumption less than half US & below W. European levels JoltCo alienated the trade by refusing packaging demands for large sizes (3 & 4ltr)

113 Major capital expenditure not an option
We must find low cost options to enter the growth areas Plasbotski contract bottlers could package large plastic varieties under licence Vendco operate a managed service for their 300k machines nationwide

114 The question we must ask ourselves is:
PQ How can we develop a low risk entry in to the growth areas of the soft drink market in order to: Restore board confidence Improve staff morale Reverse market share decline And achieve our mission of rejuvenating Solko to become a major player in the Polish Soft Drinks Market?

115 A Develop diet variants of our top 3 flavours
Solko can become market leader in Poland within 5 years, with annual profits of $100m, if we implement the following: A Develop diet variants of our top 3 flavours Produce plastic packaging via licence agreement with Plasbotski Use Vendco to distribute to Vending sector Restructure & re-motivate the sales-force

117 Presentation to Robin Hood
Charter Consultants MCIIVC

118 Agenda We will be covering the following matters:
A review of political situation and your progress to date; The main problems that you now face; Our recommendation; A detailed action plan for your aproval; All dedicated to achieving your main aim of a normal life in a just society for you and your Merrie Men.

119 Unjustly outlawed in Richards absence
Good King Richard captured one year ago, and there is no early prospect for his release. Consequently, Prince John, cruel insecure, greedy, and untrustworthy, is the Regent. The Sheriff of Nottingham, oppressive, corrupt and unjust is Prince John’s representative, and it was your defiance of the Sheriff’s injustice that caused him to declare you outlaw, three years ago.

120 3 YEARS CONTINUOUS GROWTH
Your protest has won you many loyal followers and renown as a daring, strong leader. Your policy “rob rich to give to poor” ensures the loyalty the poor. As a result, you have best intelligence network in the country with 130 spies giving reliable information about all travellers and especially the Sheriff and his men. Your food stocks for the winter are secure.

121 LARGEST OUTLAW EMPLOYER IN ENGLAND
Your reputation has enabled you to develop the band from nothing to over 1,000 followers. You have four excellent lieutenants, and have developed a good functional organisation, with 250 active fighters, backed by 750 supporters. Your able support services produce excellent weapons, mead and beer, with a potential income of 16,800 Marks a year. Causal Chain

122 Victim of your own success
Too rapid recruitment has lead to lack of control: Discipline problems; Unreliable types, spies and thieves; Not only do these discipline problems distract you and your key lieutenants, but they endanger the lives of all, and are detracting from your main activities of foiling the Sheriff and aiding the poor.

123 VULNERABLE TO ATTACK C Concentrated in one area, your camp is too easy to find and defend. The large numbers make your band cumbersome. Together, these factors make you very vulnerable to surprise attack. The Sheriff grows stronger than you, day-by-day. Moreover, your intelligence reliably informs you that the Sheriff is known to be planning a Spring attack. Killing him is not a serious option as this would cause Prince John to simply replace him and or to launch massive reprisals. There is no prospect of a pardon from either the Sheriff or Prince John without totally compromising your principles - something we are sure you will never do - and in any case, neither can be trusted to honour any agreement.

124 Summer food shortages C Your large band is has over-hunted the local forest and as a result your men have to travel further for food. Your numbers require large supplies of provisions, and these require scarce wagons for transport. The only people that have such resources are the prince regent, the high sheriffs & some mighty barons.

125 Facing negative cash flow in 1 year
Rich people (your main source of income) avoiding forest causing declining revenues - a deficit of 2000 Marks is forecast for 1194

126 Richard holds the key to your pardon
The Barons, recognising your loyalty to King Richard have, made an approach: They used Maid Marion, whom they trust, as a go-between; They are asking for your help in raising 30,000 Marks towards the ransom for the release of Big Dick in Austria. This will take 2 years to raise; Secrecy is essential, as they risk their entire families if Prince John discovers them.

127 TIME IS THE MAIN ENEMY C The prospect of cash, food and logistic problems, with the band large and unwieldy, beset by discipline problems, means that unless you do something radical before spring you are almost certain to be attacked and possibly defeated. But there are some hopeful signs and opportunities that we think you can build upon: Big Dick out of Nick Supplies exhausted Ransom Collected Big Dick in Nick This presentation Sheriff’s attack Run out of cash 1192 1193 1194 1195 Spring Summer Autumn Winter Spring Summer Autumn Winter Spring Summer Autumn Winter Spring Summer Autumn Winter

128 THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRADE
C Your Band produces some excellent products which, if you had the capability to distribute them, would greatly alleviate your cash flow problems: Forest Beer and Honey Mead with ready markets in Sheffield, York and Leeds; Quality weapons that Baron Fortmain is desirous of buying;

129 PIVOTAL QUESTION PQ The question you must ask yourself, Robin, is,
How can you restructure your band of Merrie Men so as to Remove the band’s vulnerability/disorder Avoid attack by the Sheriff; Restore your incomes to provide for the poor and contribute to the ransom; Ensure food and other supplies for the band at the same time as you, develop markets for your products; Secretly exploit the opportunity of the Barons’ recognition of your loyalty to King Richard; so that you can achieve a normal life in a fair society?

130 ANSWER A You can achieve your ambitions of a normal life with Maid Marion in a castle, with horses, serfs, ten kids, and the occasional crusade against the French by pursuing the following strategies: Reorganising the band into five groups. Increasing your revenues. Making a deal with the Barons.

131 Reorganise the band into five groups
HOW Assign 50 men to yourself and each of your key lieutenants. WHY You have four trusted lieutenants who have all-around abilities. The groups will be more mobile, thereby easily escaping the Sheriff. The entire band cannot be trapped. To survive you must avoid an outright confrontation with the Sheriff.

132 Reorganise the band into five groups
HOW Send four groups to the four corners of the forest. WHY You will stop over-hunting parts of the forest. Each group will be able to seek out travellers avoiding the direct routes through the forest. Income will increase 70% to eliminate your operating deficit. You will be able to maintain your help for the poor ensuring their support.

133 Reorganise the band into five groups
HOW Retain 50 of the most trusted people under your direct command. WHY You must be protected. You need to maintain confidential communications with your lieutenants. Use Much Miller’s network as couriers between the bands. Communications are the key to control.

134 Increase your revenues
HOW Acquire the six wagons requested by Friar Tuck via trade with barons. WHY You need to get your products to market. Do a deal to supply Baron Fortemain with weapons at a discount.. He has expressed strong interest in arming his men with your weapons. When the other Barons see Fortemain getting too strong they will want to arm their men to the same standard. Each sale will bring in revenues. We estimated an annual profit of 12 ,000 Marks.

135 Increase your revenues
HOW Barter the first two shipments of arms to the Barons in exchange for wagons. WHY The Barons are the only available source for wagons and will want your weapons. Research shows that one load of arms exchanges for three wagons.

136 Increase your revenues
HOW Reposition the forest beer as “Outlaw Micro-Brew Ale” and sell it and the Honey Mead in the towns. WHY Micro-Brew is a real 12 Century buzz word. We forecast a demand for real ale. “Outlaw” gives it a wide appeal to the rebellious youth. Honey mead is the ideal accompaniment to venison.

137 Increase your revenues
HOW Deliver the Outlaw Micro-Brew and Honey Mead to the main towns around Sherwood Forest using the wagons. WHY You have a ready market and the products will raise 18,000 Marks a year. In two years you can deliver 30,000 Marks to the Barons.

138 Making a deal with the Barons
RE HOW Use Maid Marion as a go-between. WHY The Barons obviously trust her, as do you, and secrecy is imperative. Marion will think you are wonderful. Use the funds raised from selling weapons and booze as your contribution to the fund. You must make a positive contribution to show commitment.

139 Making a deal with the Barons
RE HOW Demand a written covenant, declaring the loyalty and innocence of you and your band your contribution of 30,000 Marks to the Free Richard fund. WHY You must have guarantees that will ensure you get a pardon when Richard returns: enforcing it on Richard’s release will restore you and your followers to a normal life.

140 HOW IT ALL WORKS RE The Merrie Men are secure and well-supplied for two years. The poor will continue to think you are wonderful. The Barons will think you are wonderful. The King will think you are wonderful and will have to pardon you. Marion will know you are wonderful. You will be able to: Buy a fancy castle or two; Own shares in a couple of viable businesses with a well-trained workforce; Afford to marry Marion; Have lots of kids, and have time to slip away for the occasional foray abroad.

141 Causal Chains What does this problem cause? What if we do nothing?
What are the consequences? So, what options do we have? Causal Chains What causes this problem? Can we fix these?

142 Insight into Issues

143 Causal Chains Why do them?
To understand all the issues and the consequences of each one; to see how they relate (if at all) to one another; to identify any common issues; to explore options; to derive the main action for the Pivotal Question. In the last resort, you are seeking to solve the current problems.

144 Causal Chains Take a current (pressing) problem or crisis point that needs fixing - any problem will do! Do the same with any other current problems. There is little to be gained by fixing the current problems if they are just the symptoms of a deeper, root problem; conversely, there is no point trying to fix an underlying issue if the current problems are likely to be fatal (because of, say, time constraints, or other factors, e.g., money) before underlying issues can be dealt with.

145 Business Realities If you cannot If you cannot If you cannot
explain the consequences you do not understand the issue If you cannot live with the consequences of an issue you must identify and fix the cause If you cannot fix the cause you must find an alternative way to avoid the consequences If you cannot fully expose the consequences your answer will be incomplete and thereby flawed

146 Instead of Use Avoid jumping to conclusions. Go step by step.
Avoid emotive or judgemental words: Instead of Use Band too big Size of band Redundant staff Surplus staff Prices too high Product pricing

199 Our mission is to rejuvenate Solko to become a major player in the Polish Soft Drinks Market
Niche player in declining market sector Low Morale Declining Market share Solko’s big problem is that they have lost the confidence of their parent company & therefore have not had the investment to compete in the growth areas of the Polish soft drink Market. This case is a good example of a complication not being a change, i.e. their problems stem from a bad decision several years ago, which has resulted in under-investment. They therefore must seek to regain board confidence to obtain investment in the growth sectors via low risk strategies. Do nothing High staff turnover Missing profit opportunities Not in growth areas (diet, Plastic, Supermarkets) No Investment Low confidence from board Misread market trends Competition opened plastic market Back

200 PROGRESS Plans are devised in order to make progress. Progress can only be achieved by doing something – taking action, making changes. In any organisation all actions must relate to (or be constrained by) one, or a combination, of the following: People: Customers, markets, employees, competition, government, opinion-makers Assets (tangible or intangible): Plant, machinery, hardware, products, raw materials, software, know-how, patents, copyrights, goodwill Cash Cash, money bank balances, borrowings, loans, equity Time The time available or the time needed to undertake any action

201 MAIN ACTION The main action will be a word from one (or more) of the the four categories that reflects any common issues that underlie the current problems or crisis points People hiring, firing, retiring, reorganising (variants: re-engineering, redeploying, managing, de-layering) Assets buying, selling, increasing, reducing (variants: replacing, modernising, revamping, de-bottlenecking) Money Raising, investing, increasing, reducing (variants: equity, loans, capitalising, focusing, refocusing) Time Opportunities and threats always have a time element (variants: now, timely, urgently)
