I read this, and as you know, I guess I feel I have a bit more exposure
to companies undergoing change than some of you, as that's what our firm
does, help companies change.
I found a lot of positive things in the message, but trying to get the
entire firm to be as efficient as the best groups within one year (which
is the way to read the Kroner 1BN part) is very ambitious.
It clearly may mean the end of things like the Consumer Affairs part
replacement service!
Also I was a bit surprised by this paragraph (second to last)
LEGO Group has a set of strong values. The conditions under which
children live, the strengthening of children's creativity, their
development
and their ability to learn more are values we have supported for many
years. These values are now being adopted in the wider community as
never before. In the LEGO Group's value set we have an inheritance which
we should preserve and build on. The Fitness Programme must strengthen
entrepreneurship as a central element of the LEGO spirit.
I wasn't sure what was meant by that. In particular, I don't think the
US shares this perceived change toward LEGO values... that's part of the
problem. Kids are less interested in long payback time activities and
more interested in instant gratification.
