Candace Thompson, VP, First Chicago

Karlene Fletcher, Operations Manager, Lucent Technologies

"Several of the ideas we came up with in the Idea Champions session are being developed into concrete projects which are looking like very profitable opportunities. What is especially important, though, is the enthusiasm and energy level people still have as a result of the seminar."
Rudy Villa, VP, GE/RCA Licensing

"Since we conduct many brainstorming sessions at AT&T, we felt we'd heard almost every idea already. I am happy to say we were overwhelmed with the volume of ideas generated at the Idea Champions session. We not only got one new idea, but dozens! Of these, we looked at four in depth and all four are being developed into real, marketable products. One product was so simple and effective that we will be introducing it on the next few months."
John Dalrymple, Program Manager, AT&T
