Make things happen quickly
Talk about preparing to act
Keep it simple
Make everything complicated
Deliver results
Produce slide packs and lots of paperwork
Work with people to get things done
Retire to private rooms for planning meetings
Make strategy work
Create elegant strategies which won't work
If in doubt, act
Procrastinate, just in case
Get things done on the ground, locally
Leverage our extensive (and expensive) global network to plan the best possible outcome
Put senior, experienced people on the ground
Make senior promises and then use juniors to deliver
Think, plan and act in clear and manageable steps
Think deep thoughts about long-term industry trends or global challenges
Write case studies which say what we've done
Write white papers and affirm our "thought leadership"
Implement operating models including the right processes and platforms to make them work
Wield large teams of managers and IT people to build big, complex, multi-year programmes
Obsess about capital efficiency and cost
Design and build large projects which don't deliver
