Good day for a football game ...
Well, it's a crisp, sunny but chilly November day in Hogtown. Some of my gung-ho MBA classmates from the Queen's University MBA program - recently rated the # 1 MBA program outside of the United States by BusinessWeek magazine AND for the second time in a row - planned a football game at historic Rosedale Park in the heart of the tres posh Rosedale residential area of Toronto. This place is where you'll find stately mansions in various classical architectural styles and commanding multi-million dollar price tags. Better start that Lotto 6/49 subscription soon if you want one of these homes!
Alas, as much as I wanted to join in on the festivities, I was waaaay behind on the contingency plan for Impact Machine, our MBA team's consulting client for our capstone course. They have big plans to expand their sports design business beyond the game of hockey and we are doing our best to help them. Some of the brightest minds in the next generation of Canadian business leaders are here on my MBA team and in my MBA class. They are all young, intelligent, articulate and ... well, there are so many platitudes I can use here but they truly are amazing people whose achievements, experiences and stories continue to awe and inspire me.
