ANDERSEN CONSULTING: Deregulation of the chicken's side of the
road was threatening its dominant market position.  The chicken was
faced  with significant challenges to create and develop the
competencies required for the newly competitive market.  Andersen
Consulting, in a partnering relationship with the client, helped  the
chicken by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and
implementation processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model  (PIM),
Andersen helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies,  knowledge,
capital and experiences to align the chicken's people,  processes and
technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program
Management framework. Andersen  Consulting convened a diverse
cross-spectrum of road analysts and best chickens along with Anderson
consultants with deep skills in the transportation industry to  engage
in a two-day itinerary of meetings in order to leverage their  personal
knowledge capital, both tacit and explicit, and
to enable them to synergize with each other in order to achieve
the implicit goals of delivering and successfully architecting and
implementing an enterprise-wide value framework across the
continuum of poultry cross-median processes.  The meeting was held in a
park-like setting, enabling and creating an impactful environment which
was strategically based, industry-focused, and built upon a consistent,
clear, and unified market message and aligned with the chicken's
mission, vision, and core values.  This was conducive towards the
creation of a total business integration solution.  Andersen Consulting
helped the chicken change to become more successful.
