Pursuant to your request, I am enclosing a copy of the agency's FOIA logs from October 1, 2010, through the date of your request. The FOIA log is being provided in the format you requested and contains the name of the requester, his/her affiliation and the request description. Over 93% of our annual requests involve access to pension plan participant data. The PBGC usually receives first-party and third-party Privacy Act requests, but as you know, agencies are required to also process Privacy Act requests in accordance with the FOIA to ensure the widest range of disclosure. In third-party Privacy Act requests, we enter and maintain the participants' names in the request description field because the participant is generally the subject of these types of requests and therefore request queries are conducted using the participant's name. Unlike FOIA and Privacy Act requesters' names, PBGC participants have an expectation of privacy, in third-party requests, and we have worked to ensure their names and personally identifiable information (PI I) are protected and not inadvertently disclosed. As a result, we have also removed the individual participants' names and inserted the word "Participant" in the first and last name field where we have determined the request was submitted by a plan participant for their record. This will assure no breach of participant information, to wit: participant name and pension plan will result from disclosure of this log. PBGC expended several hours reviewing the FOIA log and making deletions in order to protect the aforementioned PI I. There is no charge and all fees have been waived. If you have any questions, please contact me at 202-326-4040. Enclosure CASE # FIRST NAME LAST NAME FOIA SUBJECT REQUESTER ORGANIZATION REQ.

Market domain Industry domain Market Industry attractiveness attractiveness Macro-level Mission, aspirations, AbilityAbility to to execute execute propensity for Team onon CSFs CSFs risk domain Connectedness up, down, across value chain Micro-level Target segment benefits Sustainable and attractiveness advantage What makes a sports team successful? It depends upon the sport. For most teams, the need for talented, conditioned, well-trained athletes and a competent coaching staff are obvious requirements. Yet, beyond these fundamental criteria, no two sports have the same critical success factors. Chapter7.qxd 28/4/06 2:10 pm Page 148 Take for example basketball, football and polo. Successful basketball teams must have players with the hand-eye coordination to shoot the ball accurately. Having tall players doesn’t hurt, either, of course. On the other hand, football (soccer) is played largely with the feet, so hand–eye coordination doesn’t matter very much. Agility and an ability to control the ball while keeping one’s head and eyes up are critical, however. A polo team’s success depends on both the athletes and the horses. As in basketball and football, the athletes need to have a good shot, but they must also be able to make this shot while riding a horse at high speed. In all three sports, endurance also matters – the fittest team often wins. In each of these sports, different factors are critical to success. Height and shooting ability make a big difference in basketball. Foot skills and the ability to maintain possession of the ball are important in football.

    May 2016 | Share this on 1 Why The Fundamentals Are No Longer Good Enough One-Trick Ponies, Groupon Effect, Experience Optimization, and Customer Advocacy Behavior Michael Lowenstein, Thought Leadership Principal, Beyond Philosophy May 2016 | Share this on 2 The Challenge of Being a One-Trick Pony About thirty years ago, Paul Simon wrote a song entitled “One-Trick Pony”. The song describes a performing pony that has learned only one trick, and he succeeds or fails with the audience based on how well he executes it. As Simon conveys in the lyrics: “He’s got one trick to last a lifetime. It’s the principal source of his revenue.” This song, and its message, are something of a metaphor for what challenges many companies endeavoring to create customer advocacy behavior and relationships, leading to more frequent purchase activity, through customer experience and loyalty programs. A key reason companies have a difficult time achieving optimum customer loyalty is that the fail to provide full value fundamentals. They focus on satisfying customers exclusively through basic rational and functional benefits, which is often too benign and passive an approach to create strategic perceived value.
