Workshops
Please add topics you'd like to discuss in the group, break-out sessions. Put your name with a topic if you'd also like to talk about that.

I am not sure if this is a good idea or too sensitive but I would be interested to whiteboard what were the factors for success or inertia for the companies listed in this link (written in 2006).

Is there anything that can be learned and adopted or avoided.
