<p class="MsoNormal">I will be bringing a group of 13 executives to Noisebridge late Thursday afternoon, around 4pm. They are all from the Dutch specialty chemicals company Akzo-Nobel, and they are here in the Bay area for a week as part of a leadership program.

<p class="MsoNormal">Since Mitch is in China, at his suggestion I’m posting this here, hoping that the group can meet some of the members, learn how Noisebridge functions, see the kinds of work and projects you do, and hopefully come up with useful insights
for how the Akzo-Nobel managers might better lead their teams all over the world.</p>
