In future posts, I’ll share some highlights from the 9th Annual Beyond Budgeting Round Table Conference. Our event was held in Dallas last month.

Hall is the paper’s lead business reporter, and she has covered her beat for the Morning News for 31 years. She provides a very nice overview of the key themes of the book.
