Sandy Weill or Data Driven Marketing - and Enron

The 20th anniversary celebration starts today. Sandy Weill speaks at 4:30, but I would have to miss Data-Driven Marketing to see him... and I'm still working on finishing the group assignment that's due for that class today. Tough choice -- see the CEO of Citigroup speak or attend class and get the assignment done properly. I already saw Weill last year... so maybe I'll do the right thing. But then senior-itis is setting in. I didn't think I'd experience that again!

Last night, as part of a separate program on ethics in business, Fortune magazine journalist Bethany McLean spoke. She was one of the first to write an article questioning the happenings at Enron. (What's really interesting to me is that most of what she questioned was based on publicly available financial statements, not insider accounts!) Since then, she also wrote The Smartest Guys in the Room, an account of the entire Enron debacle. She talked about what happened at Enron and painted pictures of the executives behind the company. Really interesting stuff.
