By Steven B. McKinney, McKinney Consulting Inc. (A speech given by Mr. McKinney on December 14, 2006 at the Millennium Hilton Hotel, Seoul, Korea at the Roles and Responsibilities of Outside Directors Symposium.) Companies the world over face the same problems of growth, governance, and competition. No one has a monopoly on pressure and stress. Michael Porter's five forces of competition sometimes feel like 500. Everyday the number of competitors seems to grow, the number of solutions seems to shrink, and the time limit for making decisions seems to shrink to 'yesterday.' But among all those time pressures, I want to draw particular attention to just one decision today - finding, empowering, and supporting the outside director. While I hope all companies can benefit from what I have to say today, I am particularly speaking to those companies who have a small minority of outside directors on their board. For these companies, the marginal effects of recruiting, empowering, and supporting non-executive director-leaders are potentially huge. They have much to gain by fully adopting this under-utilized resource. |

By Rodney J. Johnson Prescient Consulting, Inc. When most people think of counterfeits we think of cheap athletic shoes, fake leather handbags, and knock-off luxury watches. This perception is about to change, however, as fake goods have taken a turn for the serious. Counterfeits are more than just a problem facing athletic shoemakers and purveyors of fine handbags. They are a problem facing every successful company in virtually every industry imaginable. After 20 years of war on counterfeiting and counterfeiters, counterfeits are arguably more pervasive than ever. While the forces of anti-counterfeiting are more organized and numerous than at any time in the past the magnitude of their task is also growing. |
