Charlotte Beers at Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide (A) By Matteo Conta FEMBA 9B Charlotte Beers at Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide (A) Document purpose: suggestions to increase acceptance of Ogilvy & Mather’s new Vison on employees below senior executive management. Problem definition December 1993: Charlotte Beers assesses the progresses made by the company after she became CEO: she realizes that clients love the Brand Stewardship concept, but most employees, below executive levels, have not embraced the newly created Vison. The problem I will focus in this document is the following: the majority of employees did not embrace the new Vison. I will analyze why this is a key problem, why it is happening and I will propose steps to accomplish more acceptance. Analysis Brief Background Major events have shaped the history of the company in the recent years: first the hostile takeover, 1989, then the loss of key accounts and credibility in the business.
In November 2009, Toyota has been admitted to a problem with the accelerator pedal defect on some vehicles and promised this was one of the root causes and issued a call defected vehicles.

These efforts apparently failed due to lack of confidence of pre-existing
“Going off site inevitably made executives anxious”. Adam Gryglak, the chief diesel engineer for Ford delivered an all new ford engine that was classified as an “impossible task”. Through strategic planning, team corporation, group performance and a change in culture and lifestyle, Adam Gryglak was able to deliver an assignment that made executives “anxious” and in previous years “tended to look unkindly on heterodoxy”. The project nicknamed “Scorpion” was a success which was contributed by a degree of factors, the underlying being trust. Without the trust of the hierarchy of Ford managers the project wouldn’t have been delivered or achieved in the manner it was.
He also asked the congress for cash-strapped local governments to hire more teachers and firemen.

What was once a luxury item became a common commodity, no longer was Autoliv able to charge a premium on airbags which led to “price erosion” (Roussel and Cohen, 40). This issue combined with a supply chain flailing to keep up with production demands, being non homogenous, and declining economic factors led Autoliv to a hard place. Standardized Production In response to the issues Autoliv was facing, Autoliv decided to employ the assistance of their biggest client, Toyota. Toyota created TPS (Toyota Production System), which is the precursor to the lean methodology or lean manufacturing. Toyota also saw the value in assisting Autoliv, because if Toyota assists its suppliers it will upgrade their own supply chain which Toyota views as an asset.
With the loss of Jobs these launching events will no longer be “spectacular”, according to Shalini Verman a principle analyst at Gartner, “This tends to impact the perception of the company among "technology enthusiasts" who will influence consumers' buying behavior over time.” Following in the footsteps of a genius is what Tim Cook has faced in the years since the death of Steve Jobs. His challenge was maintaining the momentum at the most famous and world’s largest technology company, that provided a decade long period of turn around and innovations. Cook indicates that “Some people see innovation as change, but we have never really seen it like that,” Cook told BusinessWeek magazine. “It’s making things better.” Cook understood how important it was to developed the political support, when he found it necessary to fire long time mobile software head Scott Forstall and Apple Store chief John Browett, who he felt was no longer a good fit with the company’s culture. Cook has his own strengths; he has chosen to build a partnership with the Apple talent.
