Back From Extended Travel Abroad

Apologies!

I have barely had time to pick up my keyboard in between expense reports, documenting meetings, action items, and dealing with a backlog of to-do's from being away from the office.

In mid-May, I embarked upon a 4 week European excursion that found me in London, Paris, Monaco, and southern France. During that period, I met with:

  • Customers
  • Business Partners
  • Journalists
  • Analysts

and I collaborated with SAS associates from around the world!

Upon my return, I found myself headed out of the country again, this time on business in the Caribbean for four days. There, I met with customers and the Inter-American Development Bank, the largest source of development financing for Latin America and the Caribbean.

I made many new friends along the way, in several countries. I also learned a great deal by witnessing first-hand what actually goes on out in the field. In future blogs, I will draw upon fresh perspectives from my travels and I will attempt to distill the essence of much of what I have learned.

This blog is all about making better decisions that come from deeper analysis, based upon a holistic view, that encompasses:

  • Your Corporate Brand
  • Your Financial Performance
  • Governance
  • Risk
  • Compliance

I look forward to hearing your reactions and hope you will share your experiences and the challenges you face as you jump over the day-to-day hurdles on the way to meeting your goals.
