Strategy & Programme

• Do we need one?

• Do it big, do it in bits, don’t do it?

• Will it happen & will we benefit anyway?

• If yes, what should it be?

• What should be in it?

• Where should it take us?

• What should we want from it?

Some final thoughts

• The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind. Jacob Bronowski

• Vision without action is a daydream, action without vision is a nightmare. Japanese adage

• Those who can’t adapt will be eaten. www.baan.com/

…and whilst you’re thinking about it…

• What does it mean for you?

• Your ideas?

• What do we need to do in Hull?

• Should we be bothered?

• …answers on an email, tweet, text etc.
