The leadership of the American multi-national I found myself working for after a takeover some years ago had a recent pow-wow. They emailed out a summary to inspire the troops, and the summary contained a number of pithy sayings such as:
FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY, STING LIKE A LINE OF CODE
Great companies eat their own cooking
THERE’S A LONELY ROBOT TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW HUMANS GOT SO SMART
We’re in a period of creative destruction in geopolitics.
IN BOSTON, YOU CAN’T WALK LIKE FAIRFIELD
THERE’S A GNOME BANGING ON THE DOOR OF A BANK
We used to be in the business of making money in finance.
Now we’re onto the next wave of innovation: the Brilliant Factory.
There's a slight gulf between the boardroom and the shop-floor.
