I Had a Dream — That I Was Steve Fey, The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

GOOD: I had a dream that I was Steve Fey. I was crossing the stage at the opening of the Niagara Summit 2012. I’m the smiling president of Tridium considering the comparison just made — the Niagara Platform was to Tridium, what Windows was to Microsoft. The Niagara Summit 2012 was global and sold out, and I was the commander-in-chief of one the most formidable integration platforms in the world. It was to be my crowning experience and the most exciting moment of my life.

One of my esteemed colleagues, Marc Petock, who preceded me on stage, felt equally ecstatic. Our version of Tridium, with its collective visions and efforts was now being celebrated as one of the industry’s most talented and successful organizations in the world, and we were about to share our technical and marketing triumphs. I was standing on an unrivaled and unparalleled summit of success.

In the end, the Niagara Summit 2012 left the attendees astounded with Tridium’s accomplishments and promise. With its pace-setting technology and potential growth unbounded in every direction, Tridium’s future looked, simply amazing.

BAD: Dreams, good dreams, at least, do not last. [Read more...]
