LAST YEAR AT buzz:
an executive women's think tank
2005 TOPICS:
ROUNDTABLE: YOU SAY YOU WANT A REVOLUTION?
Do we have to blow up corporate America in order
to rebuild it? Should we completely re-design
compensation? How should corporate leadership
change to tap into the unmined talent and creativity
of our human capital?
ROUNDTABLE: WHO’S ON FIRST?
In defining the ethos of a company, what is our
first priority: employees, customers, shareholders
or the executive suite? How does that priority
affect the bottom line? Is relationship management
a pivotal component of a successful business?
ROUNDTABLE: THE MEDIA MATRIX
Does the media have its own agenda? What is appropriate
to cover; what is not? Who are the decision makers?
ROUNDTABLE: TAMING THE BEAST
Can we effectively legislate the Internet without
cutting off its oxygen? Would restriction be good
for business? Bad for business? Is there a partisan
agenda?
