In IT there is an aphorism: "Easy to use is easy to say". Similar thing applies for strategic planning by businesses - the sort of management speak we heard today is all just boilerplate - as you say, how it will be achieved is the nub of things and on this there is silence.

Every time we get a spill there is the easy option to vilify the previous incumbents as incompetent and award the new broom a clean slate. Then a few years later rinse and repeat. I happens over and over again at company after company. I suspect most of the time the earlier management we not especially incompetent - business is just plain hard. So often the new broom gets the credit for just being there when the breakthrough finally arrives (if it finally arrives).

I desperately hope this is not true of AnteoTech this time round but the cynic in me cautions me not to hold my breath.

The question of how the new team will achieve their aims has not been answered - we are just expected to believer they can execute better than the last lot and it will all happen.

Sure hope so.
