Meeting Announcement
We Are Pleased to Invite You to Our June 13 Monthly Breakfast Meeting
A joint meeting with NACDNJ, the NJ Chapter of the National Association of Corporate Directors

The Hilton at Woodbridge, 120 Wood Avenue South, Metropark, Woodbridge, New Jersey (at Garden State Parkway Exit 131A - Metropark)


Topic: The Emergence of The Virtual Organization A Panel Discussion


Several years ago, Jack Welch warned us that what Japan did to the United States in the 80s is nothing compared to what China will do to the U.S. economy over the next ten years. Welch also said that adaptability would always be GE’s greatest strength. More recently, Forbes 2005 Businessman of the Year in Asia, Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata, predicted that this will be the millennium of India and China, and that American businesses need to adapt to this driving force by becoming virtual organizations. These predictions and advice are all consistent with the overall theme of Tom Friedman’s best selling book, The World Is Flat.


By attending the June 13th joint meeting of the New Jersey Chapters of NACD and ACG – you will have an opportunity to learn about and discuss the following issues:
• What exactly is a virtual organization?
• What makes a virtual organization different?
• Why is becoming one a strategic imperative?
• How do you become one?
• Why has outsourcing been described as an “irreversible mega-trend”?
