IN NOVEMBER '07 I VISITED DUBAI to speak at a global strategy conference for McKinsey, its senior strategy partners and strategists at client firms. I was on a panel with Todd Henderson at Chicago Law, Jeff Severts at Best Buy and James Surokweicki of the New Yorker. The transcript of the talk appears in this month's McKinsey Quarterly -- including this amusing sketch of me:
I'm better looking in real life, promise ;). Anyhow, the panel was moderated by McKinsey guru Renee Dye (author of these articles) -- an excellent host who posed thoughtful questions and drew out each panelists' distinct strengths. Jed Christiansen has a review of the article in case you're not able to see it.
I enjoyed spending time with my fellow panelists, and the rest crowd was fantastic. I'm quite thankful to McKinsey and Renee for the opportunity, and hope the article contributes substantively to the growing conversation about using markets inside of organizations.
UPDATE: How did the artist do? See the original pic here.
AFTERMATH: In 2001, Ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid bought Jonabell Horse farms in Lexington, KY from family friends. This gave me some local contacts to show me around the area after the conference. Many thanks to Ajay and gang for a great experience. For travellers to the area, be sure you visit Khasab, Oman.
