Harvard Business School - Day 11

Thursday, 17 Sep 2009
Very busy here, and while I don't have much time for the blog, I also don't have much to say. It is now Thursday and I haven't been off campus all week.
The subjects, the lecturers and the other participants are all fantastic, but the learning is something you have to internalize and understand, and I think would make reasonably boring blog reading!!
We have Sunday off, so hopefully will get out and explore some more.
The summer is morphing into autumn here and the trees, of which there is a bountiful supply, are just showing the first signs of browning off.
The mornings are definitely a degree or two cooler than when I first arrived.

We did have a presentation by Robert S. Kaplan, he of the Balanced Scorecard fame a few days ago. It is interesting that there are so many of the so called management/business gurus available to us, either as resident professors at HBS or as associates or invited guests. He spoke on the global economic cris, and while he spoke authoratively and with confidence I didn't think he provided a whole lot of insight.
