An HSM World Business Forum Audio Synopsis from Peter Clayton
Jack Welch is one of the most admired CEOs in the world. During his 20 years as chairman and CEO of General Electric, he transformed the company from a bureaucratic behemoth to a dynamic and revered powerhouse. During his tenure, GE market value grew from $13 billion to $500 billion. In the process, Welch's management innovations made him the most influential CEO of his era.
Peter Clayton, producer and host of Total Picture Radio, provides an overview of one of the most consistent - and popular presenters at HSM events, the legendary Jack Welch. Mr. Welch was interviewed on stage by Alan Murray, Assistant Managing Editor of The Wall Street Journal.
Welch is the author (with John A. Byrne) of the international bestseller JACK: Straight from the Gut, which provides an intimate glimpse into his life and management concepts. In his presentations, he provides an insightful perspective on leadership, management and the current state of business. With his trademark candor, he discusses his management style and theories in presentations all over the world, speaking to people at every level of an organization, answering their questions on dozens of wide-ranging topics. These sessions were the inspiration for his new book, Winning , written with his wife, Suzy Welch.
In the September 25th BusinessWeek Cover Story, Chief Economist Michael Mandel writes: "Health care has added 1.7 million jobs since 2001. The rest of the private sector? None."
Finding qualified medical professionals is more challenging and competitive than ever, leading many hospitals to outsource their staffing to a growing cadre of health care organizations.
Dr. William "Kip" Schumacher, founder and CEO of the The Schumacher Group, created a different kind of emergency medicine management organization when he established his company in 1994. Physician-owned and operated, Kip and his staff are deeply committed to enhancing patient care. The fast growing organization now contracts with over 130 hospitals and is associated with over 1000 physicians.

Barry Salzberg
(March 2, 2007) The Wall Street Journal reported today "Deloitte & Touche USA LLP nominated Barry Salzberg as
the next chief executive of the accounting giant, a move that must still be approved by the more than 2,600 global partners of the privately held firm, according to Deloitte."
At the time this interview was recorded (July, 2006), Barry was, (and is, until his nomination is approved, which the WSJ reported "is expected"),
managing partner and chairman of Deloitte's executive committee, the No. 2 position in the firm and a role that is equivalent to chief operating officer at a corporation.
Deloitte is the biggest in terms of overall revenue of the Big Four accounting firms. The topics Barry and I discussed last summer are relevant today, and will give you
a real-world perspective on Deloitte's corporate culture and future vision.
