Well, here we are three months on and yet it feels as though so much has happened since that Summit. I can honestly say that the influence of our team has made a significant difference to the business, both financially and in the shaping of the organization - and that's a good thing.

Too often attempts at innovation, especially in large organizations, are derailed if not totally shut down. We are a group of guys that are not that easily put off and so we persevered. True, it has taken longer than we would have liked and is a work still in progress but we are gradually changing things. Perhaps the economic downturn has helped, after all, folks have to learn to do better with less or to do things differently which is what we were advocating.

Anyway, onward and upward.
