If one were not listening attentively and willing to question stereotypes, it would have been too easy miss this intriguing story. However, as in all things "2.0," profound change manifests slowly at first, and I detected a glimmer of disruption in France's status quo. Having lived in West Berlin surrounded by the concrete reality of a wall that subsequently, unbelievably, came down, I ask myself, "What if France were to vanquish some of the sacred cows and become, gasp, pragmatic and entrepreneurial?" Lagarde's message was precisely that, and she delivered it with the aplomb that reflected extensive business and policy success at the boardroom table.

Sunday, February 24, 2008The U.S. Healthcare System: Can This Patient Be Saved?
Honestly Assessing Quality—Engaging Consumer Empowerment—Trading in the Ferrari for a Chevy
There was broad agreement that the U.S. healthcare system was broken, and speakers offered excellent insights and perspectives about how to fix the system. However, what they didn't say was as interesting as what they did, and I will address two key issues in Analysis and Conclusions: the pervasive lack of trust among all parties and the emerging consumer empowerment trend: what do Web 2.0-enabled consumers have to bring to the party?

Friday, February 22, 2008India Trade Minister Draws Chicago-India Transformation Parallels at Executives' Club
Reading between the lines, the U.S. and India stand at a significant turning point: India's impressive economic growth is a significant element of the ongoing redistribution of global economic power—which holds excellent opportunities for U.S. businesses and workers that are looking for it.

Friday, February 1, 2008Web 2.0's Impact on 2008 U.S. Presidential Election Declared Minimal at Executives' Club
They produced a logical conclusion, namely that Web 2.0 was a force in the making but that it would probably not be a decisive factor this year. The session was graciously co-hosted by Communications Committee Co-Chairs David Prosperi, Vice President Global Public Relations, AON and David Blake, Publisher of Crain's Chicago Business. As usual, I will share my notes of speakers' remarks before adding my between the lines analysis and conclusions. As an added bonus, I will also share select points of an influential source who, although not in the room, was virtually present through repeated reference.

Sunday, January 13, 2008Economic Outlook for 2008—Executives' Club of Chicago
Panelists agreed that the U.S. economy would struggle in 2008, but it would move mostly sideways, probably eking out a 1-2% gain for the year after an unsatisfying first half. All panelists predicted that the Dow would touch 14,000 sometime during the year. Froehlich again emphasized the importance of looking beyond the U.S. for investments. Swonk and Ablin were less outspoken but had high non-U.S. allocations in their recommended investments for 2008. After reportage on the panelists conversation, I will add my analysis and points to ponder, about the economy, opportunities and the election.

Saturday, November 3, 2007Innovation Defines New CIO Role at Executives' Club "Networked Economy 2.0" Technology Conference
Then a diverse panel of executives took the stage to discuss the role of the CIO in the "networked economy 2.0." Bahman Koohestani, Senior Vice President & Chief Information Officer, Orbitz Worldwide, Paul Mankiewich, Chief Technology Officer, Alcatel-Lucent and Karenann Terrell, Chief Information Officer, Baxter International, shared their visions for the evolving role of the CIO and IT. John Gentry, Partner and Managing Director, CSC Consulting, moderated the panel discussion with aplomb. The Club's quarterly Technology Conference took place October 16 at the Chicago Hilton. Although the panel represented such diverse businesses as pharmaceutical giant Baxter, global network equipment provider Alcatel-Lucent and travel sensation Orbitz, all were very focused on how CIOs needed to enable a new level of innovation by fostering a new level of trust and adopting a networked model—for everything. That means shared risk taking and trusting people. Although their remarks had an appropriate enterprise focus, in Analysis and Conclusions, I will take the argument into the customer arena: only by extending their trust to customers will enterprises realize sustainable innovation in the long term.

Thursday, October 25, 2007Caterpillar CEO Pitches Free Trade Gauntlet to Business Leaders at Executives' Club
A Ph.D. economist with extensive global management experience, Owens made a very convincing argument that the U.S. and the global economy are at a turning point. It is time for the U.S. to lead by example to assure the continuance of the free trade juggernaut that has produced so much wealth in the world. If it fails, the world stands before the prospect of sharply curtailed trade. Following a summary of his remarks, I will offer conclusions and analysis of related market developments. Although he limited his remarks to business leadership, I will also argue that the U.S.'s lack of resolve and leadership is multidimensional, notably with respect to the environment. Moreover, economic and social forces are going to confront the definition of the sovereignty of the nation state due to the collective destiny of all nations due to trade and the environment. In other words, Owens' remarks may be far more applicable than he suggested. Continue reading "Caterpillar CEO Pitches Free Trade Gauntlet to Business Leaders at Executives' Club"
