Arnold Schwarzenegger: "He'll be baaack!"

Sir Isaac Newton: "Chickens at rest tend to stay at rest. Chickens in motion tend to cross the road."

Plato: "For the greater good"

Machiavelli: "So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely chicken's dominion maintained."

Arthur Andersen Consultant: "The chicken's traditional posture was threatened by global competition, and it had to move upscale, creating the competencies required for its emerging market. Andersen Consulting (AC) partnered with this client, helping it to reconceptualize its physical distribution strategy and to implement the requisite survival processes. Anderson's Poultry Integration Model (PIM) re-aligned the client's technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program Management (PM) framework of Direct Crossing (DC). Leveraging their synergy together, the client and Anderson integrated the underlying mission, vision, and core values into a total managerial solution and enabled a successful AC-DC cross-median traverse."
