Forming – Storming – Norming – Performing

I'm imagineering that Baker will still be practising his just in time defending techniques, hopefully outside the box and without too much horizontal integration

When synergy is achieved through optimal strategic planning and operation we will reach out true potential and maximise out output on the field.

Last season we had too much thinking outside of the box with nobody in it.  We also had plenty of blue sky thinking as we hoisted the ball in the air.

[paulcomben]

So that's all good.

[Drummond]

That's claret and blue sky thinking for you.

Makes a change from the Paul Lambert version I suppose:

Mumbling - bumbling - crumbling - humbling

[oldham_villa]

Haha brilliant Risso

Reminds me how much I hated management training courses and all the ridiculous models and theories which to most people are just common sense.  I hated those.

Except for the 'Hot Crazy Matrix'. That's a good one.

In football terms I think Adebeyor would be high up the 'crazy' axis. 

And Gary Shaw would have been a Unicorn.

Are we dogs, stars, cash cows or question marks?

Who cares?. What's important, is the strategic staircase that our new management team are putting in place. They are creating the bandwidth necessary for success; it's only by developing core competencies that we will be able to action the key deliverables. I've been hugely impressed with this sea change this summer. It's high altitude flying .

I see what all of you are saying but with all due respect  we need to address the issue on whether or not to move the goalposts. The fact of the matter is it's not rocket science as long as we are all singing from the same hymn sheet, if not we'll find ourselves between a rock and a hard place.

[mr underhill]

not a problem as long as we bore down and discover the right outcome - provided, of course, that  our stakeholders, colleagues and supply chain share our vision and narrative
