The Myth Of Nabucco: Greed, Delusion and $11.4 Billion
| |
| Construction of the 56-inch, 2,050-mile pipeline, first proposed in 2002, is tentatively slated to begin next year and scheduled for completion by 2014. At a cost initially estimated at $11.4 billion and rising, Nabucco will be the most expensive pipeline ever built, more than three times the cost of the 1,092-mile Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) oil pipeline. Raising such a significant sum in a time of global recession would be an article of faith at best.
Even assuming that Nabucco’s boosters manage to assemble a coterie of deep-pocketed suckers – er, investors, the only promised current volume for Nabucco's proposed 31 billion cubic meters (bcm) annual throughput is Azerbaijan's future offshore Caspian Shah Deniz production, estimated at 8 bcm. |

RoP Return on Prospecting inventing a better mousetrap
| |
| The majority of sales teams we consult are still forced to cold-call and produce quantity in an attempt to fill the funnel of the pipeline. The definition of “cover” was some mythical rule-of-thumb like 3:1 meaning 3 times value in pipeline to cover target. Little regard was given to sales “cycle time” or time left in financial year – the mantra 3:1 became a KPI and we’ve seen salespeople fired for not driving pipeline!
How silly can that be? Quality prospects which meet our engagement criteria and a 1:1 win ration means we don’t add lost cost-of-sale to the cost of those we win. We’ve seen sale teams DOUBLE their attributed product profit margin by changing the way they prospect and engage.
