It is with heart-felt sadness that we bid a fond farewell to our colleague and friend, Jim Livingston who passed away suddenly last week.  Jim was not only part of the TMG family for a number of years, but was also a father, brother, uncle and husband.  Our deepest sympathies go out to Theresa, Matt and Aiden. Jim’s knowledge, warmth and sense of humor were gifts he shared with all of us. We miss you, Jim.

Here are a few of Jim’s contributions to this blog . . . . . . . .

Bagpipes and Business

Congratulations to Louisville, this year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Champion.  Comparing Louisville, with last year’s champion, Kentucky, highlights how two very different organizational approaches can achieve the same result.
