Ryanair Arghhhh!!!!....... ?

I recently sat in the boardroom of a client and discussed a familiar topic when discussing strategy, the ultimate goal of a business.

As those of you who know me will know I love quotes that seem to me to sum up the essence of an issue and make concepts easy to explain (what Paul Godwin calls my trite consultancy clichés!) so I trotted out the Sir John Egan quote. “The fundamental aim of a business is to make money by giving customers excellent products and service”. Half in jest the FD a chap whose opinions are sound and worthy of respect said No!, the aim of a business was to make money full stop and if you had to do that by giving excellent products and services then that was they way you did it. I challenged that concept and asked him to tell me then a business that made money sustainably and didn't give clients excellent products and service. Immediately another senior member of the management team also a 'sound chap' proposed Ryanair.

I must confess to being somewhat stumped by this as I too have travelled Ryanair and been herded like ‘self-loading cargo’ onto the plane to be jammed in with the shellsuits and subjected to the hard sell for food/drink/bingo cards/fake cigarettes for 2 hours.

This kept me awake! How could a business that treated its passengers so differently to say Cathay Pacific (the stewardesses alone make the fare worth paying!) be giving customer’s excellent products and service? There was no denying it makes money, in fact it’s one of a very few who continue to make money despite high fuel costs and the depression (sorry recession). Was my whole philosophy wrong? More serious was Sir John Egan wrong? After all he built one of the most successful businesses this country has seen (before he let Jaguar go and it arguably went somewhat ‘pear shaped’) and a brand that endures worldwide? ..[ more ]
