Several years ago, 2,000 university presidents and CEOs were asked to name the book that
had the most effect on their lives.
The Bible was mentioned most often by a wide margin.
Before there was a Harvard Business School, before Adam Smith, Spencer Johnson, Jim Collins,
etc.
The good book clearly served as the guide for business.
How is it that the Bible came to contain such valuable, timeless business advice?
What did the CEOs spot in their reading of the Bible that we missed?
I'm very busy today, what do you need, Peter?
It's Babylon Consulting Group, Jesus.
They say we have the blue sky on a strategic plan.
My senses were doing pretty well.
I mean, hell, it's only been a year.
In fact, there's 2,000 people on the mouse waiting, okay, my son, I'll be right there.
So what's involved?
First we need an all-hands meeting with the apostles to ideate.
You know, think, discuss, brainstorm, brainstorm?
Yeah.
Well, BCG says this will allow us to re-contextualize our mission statement.
So sorry.
A group of minstrels and new-bile wenches just danced by and half of our crowd followed
them into the village.
I need to be going.
No, wait, wait.
Once we reset our mission, we need to triangulate our vision and value statements.
Roman thugs just rampaged through the crowd pillaging, the wounded are everywhere.
It's awful.
What's this?
Cheese.
Damn, I need to get out there.
One more minute.
Then we need to re-engage our cake instituencies and-
Now just a minute.
And create a differential offering that will drive higher loyalty and increase our worship
base.
Jesus Nazareth, Pudges pilot tax just did a chariot drive by impaling everyone in sight.
It's horrible.
And create the synergies along with the paradigm shift.
Hundreds fled into the olive grove.
We're down to about two dozen followers.
Result in a good to great knowledge trend for this and that.
Oh, and those two dozen are asking for the fishes and loaves that you promised?
That's it.
I'm out of here.
But chief, what about leveraging our core competence?
Stop.
Don't chief me.
Report to my office in the morning.
Sorry, dad.
I had to do that.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
