Love Your Dogs
Love Your Dogs
• Why?– Dogs are under-appreciated
• Neglected• Same category as “value stocks” Payoffs to investing in and paying greater operational-strategic attention to underperformers better than investing in unproven “stars”
– Dogs need nurturing/attention • “Feed” them (resources, attention)
• Have them “fixed” (new strategy)
• Teach them “new tricks” (innovation)
– “Adopt” someone else’s dogs
