Clash of the day (1)
“That just shows the limited utility of research. I hate research. It takes your attention away from new ideas and makes you look backwards instead.” - Michael Eisner
“I heard that. Research is two and a half billion of our twelve billion pound business, so I’m offended by what Michael Eisner just said.” - Martin Sorrell
He’ll get over it. This one was a bit of a sharp exchange, too (But that’s good, as it makes us think: “If two people agree with each other, one of them is redundant” - Mr. Wrigley, the founder of Wrigley’s)…
Clash of the Day (2)
“I did some work years ago with the NHS - worked in GP surgeries and hospitals to ‘listen to the river’. Sometimes we are critical of the NHS and forget it’s the best health service in the world and we should be proud of it.” - Allan Leighton
To which Michael Porter replied, having heard it (but only replying after tall and burly Mr Leighton had left) “It’s hard to find any measures by which the NHS is the best health service in the world. So maybe that’s just more of that BS (he was talking about).”
