ANDERSEN CONSULTING: Deregulation of the chicken's side of the road was
threatening its dominant market position.  The chicken was faced with

helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge, capital and experiences to 
align the chicken's people, processes and technology in support of its overall strategy 
within a Program Management framework.

chicken depends upon your frame of reference.
