A duke was hunting in the forest with his men-at-arms and servants; he came across a tree.
Upon it, archery targets were painted and smack in the middle of each was an arrow.
'Who is this incredibly fine archer?' cried the duke.'I must find him!'
After continuing through the forest for a few miles he came across a small boy carrying a bow and arrow.
Eventually the boy admitted that it was he who shot the arrows plumb in the center of all the targets.
'You didn't just walk up to the targets and hammer the arrows into the middle, did you?' asked the duke worriedly.
'No my lord. I shot them from a hundred paces. I swear it by all that I hold holy.'
'That is truly astonishing,' said the duke. 'I hereby admit you into my service.'
The boy thanked him profusely.
'But I must ask one favor in return,' the duke continued. 'You must tell me how you came to be such an outstanding shot.'
'Well,' said the boy, 'first I fire the arrow at the tree, and then I paint the target around it.'

 

Much better than the Robin Hood jokes.

That boy has a fine future in management.

Coat !!

Hey, he's working smarter, not harder! Redesigning paradigms to enthuse shareholder value and strategise leverage into win-win outcomes!

Does that mean he's now in charge of GW?

Only if he's capable of alienating key stakeholders in an unupwards re-entergising of brand identity via reworking their core markets!

You could change the Duke to Robin Hood and then it would be about Robin Hood and we could 'rob' that joke for that post!

 

Give me strength ! 
I can't cope with all these coats.

Hey Toxic - do you even know what this means

I don't need to, I'm consulting! You guys have to implement it, and if it goes wrong then it's your fault!

Thats just typical !

So if you suggest I have an affair, supply me with a gorgeous willing woman and book the Hotel room its all my fault !!!!

Ok go ahead  i will accept responsibility

No, no, I just advise - I don't do anything like booking rooms or actually setting you up with a woman; I just suggest that peoples morale would be better if they were closer connected.

Your sordid affairs are entirely off your own bat, and in no way do I bear any responsibility 

That's the joy of consulting!
