Dear Subscriber:
To my mind, the war in Iraq has brought forth the full range
of journalists, reminding me of a famous quote from Albert Einstein (1879-1955):
The difference between
stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits."
I contrast my
view of the press with my view of the speakers we recruit: innovative managers from
leaders in the process industry who volunteer their time, energy and experience
to share with other participants at PlantSuccess. A quote attributed to Aristotle
(384-322 B.C.): We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act,
but a habit, applies to these very generous professionals.
Soon, the cache of 75+ presentations (available for review at
www.PlantSuccess.com), the basis for lively
discussions at previous PlantSuccess conferences, will be enhanced substantially.
We will add the successful experience cited by representatives from:
|
AVEVA |
ExxonMobil |
|
Bayer |
FIATECH |
|
Black & Veatch |
Fluor |
|
CDM |
Ivara |
|
CII |
J.D. Edwards |
|
Intel |
OSIsoft |
|
Dow Chemical |
SAIC |
|
DuPont |
Shell |
|
Eastman Chemical |
|
Join us as
they add their experience with the successful implementation of engineering IT and
its impact on business drivers, work processes and integration requirements.
"Wisdom
is the power to put our time and our knowledge to the proper use," a quote
by IBM founder Thomas J. Watson (1874-1956), certainly applies to speakers
at PlantSuccess.
In addition
to first-class speakers and moderators, PlantSuccess attracts an experienced and
responsible audience, most of whom probably share one of my favorite quotes from
one of the original technologists, Henry Ford (1863-1947): "Whether
you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right."
Join us at the
Hilton Houston NASA Clear Lake, 9-10 April for PlantSuccess Gulf Coast 2003. Join
innovative managers with the industrys leaders and their presentations on the successful
implementation of engineering IT and its impact on business drivers, work practices
and integration requirements.

Best regards,
Carl Howk, Chairman

Manage Change Throughout Your Enterprise
There is little that challenges managers
or companies more than managing change brought about
by system integration, the performance
of key business processes, the measure of organizational
effectiveness, etc.
BearingPoint (formerly KPMG Consulting) has an interesting piece on the important
subject of
change management. READ MORE.
Revisit
the Vision of Enterprise Solutions
Although most
large corporations began implementing enterprise systems in the mid- to late-1990s,
millions of dollars and many years later few have achieved the benefits they expected.
According to Accentures research, a clear majority have achieved half or
less of the benefits they targeted.
For more on
this alarming situation and lessons from major companies that have put remedies
in play, READ
