			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Interesting times for poor old Tiger Woods.  A tree, a fire hydrant and his wife wielding an (I imagine) expensive golf club&#8230;another quiet night in for the great man himself.</p>
<p>But it did occur to me that my old employer Accenture &#8211; <a href="http://www.accenture.com/Global/About_Accenture/Company_Overview/Advertising/default.htm">who feature Woods in all our current brand advertising</a> - must be looking on with particular interest as this plays out.  After all, we (it&#8217;ll aways be &#8220;we&#8221; after 10 great years) chose the Tiger as the centrepiece of all of our advertising since 2003 because: <em>&#8220;As perhaps the world&#8217;s ultimate symbol of high performance, he serves as a metaphor for our commitment to helping companies become high-performance businesses&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure the details of what happened will all will become clear in good time and as long the Tiger is physically ok&#8230;.but I wonder if those in charge of the Accenture print advertising campaign haven&#8217;t spotted an opportunity here.</p>
<p>What odds on a new Accenture print ad featuring a prostrate Tiger on his driveway, damaged tree, fire hydrant and jeep in background with Mrs Woods in frame wielding that golf club. And of course the slogan:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;It&#8217;s what you do next that counts&#8221;.</em></p>
<div id="attachment_201" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 234px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-201" title="What Next Tiger" src="http://www.shanepcarmichael.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/What-Next-Tiger-224x300.jpg" alt="That Fire Hydrant has made such a damn mess" width="224" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">That Fire Hydrant has made such a damn mess</p></div>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Surely a winner&#8230;&#8230;I mean what could go wrong? So &#8211; go on Accenture (and Mr Woods) do it, put it out there, send to print&#8230;be a Tiger!</p>
