Introduction: Rebuilding Ireland Inc.

I have long believed that coalition of experienced business executives could add some tremendous value to building and better shaping Ireland Inc. than many of the people tasked with this challenge.

In light of current events I thought it might be a good time to try something along these lines and LinkedIn seems a perfect place to get things started.

RebuildingGiven my own particular interests, I believe that we have a tremendous competence in the private sector of managing large, complex national and multinational business but the evidence as presented in our public sector shows us to be bordering on a third world country.

With all due respect to the academic and consulting advisors who provide certain but insufficient expertise, I’d like to see a “board of expert practitioners” available to the government to bring real expertise to solving many of the problems that exist in the economy.

I have set up a group on LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1801970&trk=hb_side_g) If you are interested then I’d appreciate it if you’d join the group, (LinkedIn is free to join www.linkedin.com ) promote it and make great suggestions!
