TUCSON, AZ — A fast-moving, on-target message explaining how to clean out the underbrush of management fads to stay ahead of your competition was a key take-away for more than 300 building controls specialists attending a national conference sponsored here recently by Johnson Controls, Inc.
Renowned author and business analyst Oren Harari, Ph.D., told attendees at the 2000 National Authorized Building Controls Specialist (ABCS) Conference that to be a significant player today it’s important to be “knowledge driven and people focused.” Continually analyzing the way business is done and embracing information technology are two key strategies that a savvy business leader will use to propel his or her company to new heights, Harari emphasized.
