Participants
in the London Meeting'99. |
On
June, 18th, AT Kearney's premises
in London kindly wel-comed a new UK Alumni meeting.
A demonstration against capitalism and the G-7 countries which
took place in the City the same Friday, caused some delay to
the begining of the program (and maybe some no-shows?), but it
didn't prevent 20 Alumni meet-ing with their fellows from IESE.
Professor Tony Dávila started up the meeting with a lecture
on "Return on Management" (ROM), a new concept designed
by him in cooperation with professors Robert Simons and Charles
M. Williams from Harvard Business School. The purpose of ROM
is to measure whether managers are channeling their energy into
the right projects. There was an interesting discussion about
the different management systems to guide strategy that this
measure comes up with, and the proto-types of companies that
illus-trate/represent each one of these systems.
Maria Puig, Alumni Division Director, gave an update on the recent
MBA graduates (1999) and the actual students (the future MBA
2000), and also explained some news from the Alumni Association.
In that context, she pointed out the agreement that will take
place next course with "The Global Workplace", an initiative
from the London Business School which consists of an on-line
recruiting network for alumni.
A cocktail provided by the Alumni Association was served afterwards. |
