Andersen Consulting convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and best cats along with Andersen 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 Ed's cat mission, vision, and core values. This was conducive towards the creation of a total business integration solution. Andersen Consulting helped Ed's cat change to become more successful.
