Antes de olvidarme los detalles de la visita

We have just returned from dinner with the president and founder of EGADE, a Wharton PhD alumn. I am amazed by the quality of the Wharton grads! To mention one detail about Dr. Gomez, he worked as a consultant for more than 100 companies in 40 countries! And I set right next to him at lunch and then again at dinner! He is PHENOMENAL, a wealth of information and a master in the philosophy of business. Just like my beloved father :)

We discussed many issues, including his interest in developing businesses centered on innovation. His goal is to develop the Mexican export market to such an extent that one day we will see "designed in Mexico" instead of "manufactured in Mexico."

He also discussed extensively the difference between knowing (being able to describe) and understanding (being able to reason and make inferences and analyses.) It was extremely interesting, because due to his formation as an engineer, he explained outputs (results, outcomes) as functions of inputs (knowledge, skills, enthusiasm, etc.) Four of my classmates and myself will be working on a consulting project for one of the emerging companies that I mentioned above, we are all so excited to have the unique opportunity to work with him!
