Hello — Bob Beyster here. I would like to welcome you to my blog. I’m looking forward to reconnecting with those of you who I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with over the past three decades, and with those of you who I have yet to meet.
So, why am I doing a blog? Frankly, I’m getting bored with retirement and I need to get out of the house more. It’s been almost two years since I left SAIC, and I miss being part of a dynamic and entrepreneurial company. My hope is that this will be a place where we can engage in interesting discussions (and even debates) about employee ownership, interesting new technologies, other topics regarding the state of the Nation, or anything else that might happen to be on my mind.
The good news is that I’m doing fine these days — replacing daily running with long walks, relaxing on the boat, spending time in the office a few times a week, and I’m anxious to dive into new exciting projects.
One of these new projects is a business book I’m working on that will attempt get to the bottom of what made SAIC the success story that it is today. I’m hoping that some of our discussions might find their way into the book, and I look forward to your insights and opinions on what has made SAIC such a unique place to work for more than three decades now.
I’m planning to post messages here at least once a week — perhaps more when things get rolling. I value your perspectives and opinions. Remember:
Be sure to visit my blog regularly, or sign up for an email notification when I post something new.
Before I close, I would like to take the time to thank those of you who sent me your well wishes last year when I was having some medical challenges. Knowing I have so many friends who care about me warms my heart and makes me very proud to have worked with each one of you.
Bob
