Dr.
Kevin Ham (both of whom were featured in
DN Journal Cover Stories this year) have been
accepted into Harvard's prestigious Advanced
Management Program, the highest level executive
program offered by the Harvard Business School. Dr.
Hartnett and Dr. Ham will join 165 other executives
from 45 countries around the world for the intensive
two-month program that will have them sequestered in
a classroom 14 hours a day, six days a week. Dr.
Hartnett and Dr. Ham are close friends and Hartnett
serves on the board of the company Dr. Ham founded, Reinvent
Technology.
Dr. Hartnett told us he
will be flying from his Heavenly Mountain, North
Carolina home to Boston tomorrow to begin
the program. "When we emerge at the end of
October, hopefully with our fully accredited degrees
from the Harvard Business School, we are hoping we
will be better prepared to launch Reinvent's Global
Initiative which has been in the works now for the
last 6 months," Dr. Hartnett said. "We
feel that pulling back the bow for these 60 days
will allow our Reinvent arrows to fly high when
released and will firmly hit the target upon our
graduation, which is scheduled for October 24th
with the closing ceremonies and graduation dinner to
be held at the Four Seasons Hotel in
Boston
."
Hartnett added, "The
only down side to this whole adventure that I can
see is we both will be missing the New
York T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Show for the first
time and we will be having the “Best
Day of Our Lives” in a classroom
instead this time, so that should be quite the
challenge. Don Ham will still be there at
T.R.A.F.F.I.C. holding down the fort for |
