Corporations make the tough decisions to try to remain profitable. Looks like GM made one of those tough decisions in this case. Yet it's always surprising to see how often the decisions of these university educated execs backfire when they get it wrong. Take GM as an example: Saturn, Hummer, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac are all gone - because they got it wrong.
On the other hand, the bicycle parking in Japan looks COOL. What a brilliant idea for the crowded cities in Japan! The Japanese certainly are resourceful.
I think this highlights that each of us needs to stay SHARP, we need to remain FOCUSED - if we're going to be successful in business. There's no room for bloated thinking or being asleep at the wheel. We need to be quick to respond to the needs of our market and adapt. Take Shorty's recent post as an example. It's a good example of willingness to think outside the box and take things in a new direction...
Back in 2004 I traveled from Cairns to Las Vegas to the Riviera Casino specifically to meet Rick Gelinas and try out his Cimex.
I was so impressed with it back then that I bought one when I returned home after that trip.
One thing that I have always remembered when Rick first introduced me to Big Yella were his immortal words:
"FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT CARPET CLEANING".
