1 I ‘Connect the Dots’ I get things done I like Possibilities I bring things ‘down to earth’
2 I need to understand I make things work Everything has a good and bad side
There has to be a right answer
3 Don’t tell me what to do
Give me facts not theory
I create choices I like to analyze data
4 A Concept must be sound
I like ‘energy’ Don’t fuss with details I like precision
5 I think things through
I take risks I like to hear about problems
I focus
6 I like the big picture I find a way that works I want to own the problem
I am thorough
7 I like to define the problem
I push for acceptance I find out the facts I Plan

‘Selecting Solutions’ - Major Risks
n Collect Risk Data prior to Strategic Planningn First major risk - failure to assess riskn Pursue too many options - “under resource”.n Unusual idea (no merit) gains attention n Kill the best ideas with aggressive ROI. n Assess risk internally and not externally

External risk; Partners
n New product or service - new supplier q probably not a conventional source.
n Assess supplier. q Assess Management (QMS) not just product (QA). q Evaluate Design and Development process.
n Better to pursue a new product with q high internal risk that you manage and mitigate
n Encourage ‘risk taking’ and be prepared to fail.q Address Risk .v. ROI – Time – Radical Nature
