Developing a strategy that focuses on global sustainability can ensure future productivity and strong consumer confidence – but only if companies do it right.

The Executives’ Club of Chicago is sponsoring a half-day conference at the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago.

The conference focus is sustainability and I expect to hear quite a lot of information about the connections between GREEN and LEAN.

As a long-time supporter of the Executives’ Club and frequent participant in their outstanding programs, I encourage you to consider attending.
