The Sky Isn’t Falling – The Economy Will Recover
June 9th, 2009
Reporting from the NIRI conference – it’s been incredibly busy since we arrived so finding time to write has been impossible. Attendance is down about 30 – 40% but delegates seem very engaged so I’m glad we’re here!
The conference kicked off yesterday with a lively presentation by Todd Buchholz, renowned economist and best-selling author of “New Ideas from Dead CEO’s: Lasting Lessons from the Corner Office”. His presentation was entertaining and his stories were a lesson in the value of common sense. (Some great stories regarding A.P. Giannini, the founder of The Bank of Italy – which is now The Bank of America. Too much to cover here but you might want to buy the book.)
