What Makes an Intelligent Enterprise?

Last weekend, while in attendance at the National Restaurant Association’s trade show in Chicago, I was able to attend a few of their education sessions. I’m not sure if they do these every year or not, but I found the discussions to be extremely interesting and helpful.  One in particular called: CEO Perspective: What Makes and Intelligent Enterprise really caught my attention.  Presenters included Al Bhakta, CEO of Genghis Grill, John Marshall, owner of Main Street Bistro, and Marc Buehler, CEO and President of Kona Grill (oh, and I think he should add “Awesome HotSchedules Customer” to his title as well).
