Last night I attended a dinner meeting of the Association of Iron and Steel
Engineers. The union picked up the tab for me to go and break bread
with this august group. My job was to pay special attention to the
speech by the after dinner speaker a top ranking steel industry executive
in the Cleveland area.
<p>The meal was excellent and the after dinner speech was honest.
The topic of the speech was "The Global Challenge and Re-Inventing the
Company". My take on the talk was that it could be summed up as,
<b>we re-invented the company and got globalized anyway.</b>
<p>I may bore you with more details later.
