The British Motorcycle

Presenter

Presentation Notes

October 1946.[10][12] With a staff of 12 men working in a 172-square-foot (16.0 m2) shack, they built and sold improvised motorized bicycles, using a supply of 500 two-stroke 50 cc Tohatsu war surplus radio generator engines.[10][11][13] When the engines ran out, Honda began building their own copy of the Tohatsu engine, and supplying these to customers to attach their bicycles.[10][13] This was the Honda Model A, nicknamed the Bata Bata for the sound the engine made.[10] The first complete motorcycle, both frame and engine, and made by Honda was the 1949 Model D, the first Honda to go by the name Dream.[12] Honda Motor Company grew in a short time to become the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles by 1964.

Presentation Notes

Nineteen fifty-nine was a peak year for the British industry: motorcycle sales and exports were at their highest levels. Flushed with their own success, most companies didn’t bother to look at emerging trends, or take stock of their aging designs. Most of the executives and designers came from pre-War days: they looked back to the glory days of the 30s, not ahead. And as such, they created some beautiful, exciting machines - many were race-oriented, however, an increasingly smaller portion of the market than manufacturers seemed to realize.

Presentation Notes

We often get bogged down with the doing of Change and don’t look up from the CAB FSC Governance etc etc that keeps us occupied. In this presentation I would like to examine with you what happens if we don’t pay attention – and how we can deal with the stuff that we do see when we are paying attention

Landscape Changes

Technology Disruptors

• What has changed our landscape?

Presenter

Presentation Notes

We can see a little of this in how RIM responded to the iPhone arrival. According to some reports, RIM management said that Apple's Steve Jobs was lying, that it wasn't possible to produce a product that behaved the way Apple had described it at the launch event.

Distractors?

Can We?

Or

Should We?

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Just because we can change more easily doesn't mean that we should change. Does the ease of change make us more fickle so we follow the trends of popularity rather than considering our position and the reasons for change and the valure there-of.

Some Things Never Change

It is not the strongest of the species that

survives, nor the most intelligent.

It is the one that is the most adaptable to

change.
