Isn't this the new Lego move into management consulting?????   Teach
executives how to manage better by "playing with Legos"

Do you want a company that has had losses over 2 of the last 4 years
teaching your management folks how to operate?

The two years in the black enable Lego to tell you what to do. The two years
in the red enable them to tell you what NOT to do :-).

Touche.

To further add to the irony, there is a pic in the middle of that page with
some letter bricks arranged to spell out, "Think outside the box."  A
cliche, perhaps, but a true one in many business settings.  And never could
these words be more true than today at LEGO.  It's time to really figure out
what's wrong folks..... the time to start that out of box thinking is now.

They should really think inside the box! The answear would be not enough
parts in the box, and their the wrong one's as well.

How about this for the new LEGO company slogan?  They could print it on
large banners and hang them about the offices and factories.

"Think about what's INSIDE the box."

A slight reworking of your words above.... my apologies.  :)

But I think it might provide some motivation to get employees thinking about
the product, what goes into creating it, and what the customer sees at home
when they open the box.

All the best,
Allan B.

(...) No need to apologise, that's brilliant. You should post your slogan to 'Dear Lego' :-) (...) Agreed. Steve (23 years ago, 1-Mar-02, to lugnet.market.shopping, lugnet.loc.uk)
