conference season

yesterday i went to my first industry conference.  many of the professional clubs put on conferences on fridays since we don't have class.  yesterday i attended the general management conference.  i see these as a great way to hear interesting speakers who are pretty senior and learn a new industry.

the cfo of gm spoke yesterday.  he was formerly a banker at ms so his transition in house and the steps he took to transform the finance function were fascinating.  he not only changed the people and structure but the way the function was perceived and interacted with the larger organization.

next week is the wharton women in business conference and the real estate conference. i guess i will be juggling two venues.
