    We congratulatte Perot Systems and Jim Champy, Chairman of Perot Systems’ consulting practice, on the strategic move and the new opportunities this presents to his organization.

    Both Dell and Perot Systems are sponsors to our 2009 Symposium.

    Perot Systems is a book sponsor by giving every attendee with Jim Champy’s excellent new book, Inspire!: Why Customers Come Back. I enjoyed reading the book and would recommend it to both business and technology leadership communities. I look forward to reading his third book in the series.
