Guard too!
The speaker today was Todd Hershbine from Minitab, the exalted Human Resources poobah. Actually Todd is responsible for HR and many more things over there exemplifying Minitab's borderless and redefining theory of management. We had a nice lunch catered in by Manhattan Bagel due to Leann Martin's arranging too. Todd began by telling us a little bit about MiniTab and the statistical software that they created and market worldwide for data sciences and 6 Sigma purposes. Minitab was founded whenBarbara Ryan, a Penn State professor was lookign for a way to bring technology to the classroom. At the time computers were rather huge and tiem was spent aranging command cards rather than lookign for anomolies in data. MiniTab evolved from her efforts back then to be an international company headquartered in State College. Minitab has 160 employees in the US and 21 overseas in England and France. While Barbara was developing the software her brother helped to develop the corporate culture that exists to this day of a more humnistic approach to management. After a description of the mission and culture I heard a Rotarian ask is a telecommmunications engineer was needed. The company was very kind to have us visit. We were even permitted to wander about to check out the facilities.They truly exhibit the share the wealth and share the pain philosophy. I used the softeware when doing quantiative research and love it
for its ease of use and their customer care when I have trouble! This weeks note taker: Paul Rutter
