Strategy study (Nov 91 - May 92): Conduct of the study

'We had to go through the formalities of putting the strategy together because obviously it was going to require money. ... [It had to go through the] planning and budgeting process ... [to be] decided with the plc. ... At the time, we're going back a couple of years when capital within X-Group was somewhat scarce and had to be rationed, so there had to be an upper limit of £50,000 which had to be signed off, approved, just so that the right priorities could be established for how the money was being spent. Again it wasn't really possible to put a cost benefit together we had to do this to exist in the business, strategically. ... I wasn't involved in the exercise, I don't think there was a major debate in that it was really a question of Tim, new MD, new company, these were things that were said to be critical to getting the business going.'
