"As an author and a lecturer, I've been very fortunate to have become a recognized personality in the domain of competitiveness, particularly manufacturing competitiveness."

(Insert scanned graphic of the business week article)

"I interact with and lecture to people around the world 20 to 50 times a year...and I enjoy it."

Within the next 8 to 12 months I'll be in

• Brazil (twice)
• Chile
• Israel
• Russia
• Amsterdam
• Canada
• the United States (about 15 times)

I typically give lectures, run workshops, and host groups in trying to understand

• The Virtual Organization Concept
• The New Form of Competition
• How to Manage Change
• How to Survive in Change

I gave a talk recently with a cute title called "Change or Perish". And that was in a conference on the economic outlook for the future. And basically, the point was that industry managers have to change or perish.

"The book is doing better than we ever thought it might."

"Agile Competitors and Virtual Organizations: Strategies for Enriching the Customer"

It's being adopted worldwide and it's been translated into Portuguese. There are negotiations for it to be translated into Chinese, Japanese, German, and Spanish.

We plan to write follow-up books on specifically how to take action in converting the vision into reality. These will be shorter books perhaps with more "how-to's", and easier to understand ... more pictures... more graphs... fewer words.
