sit around a single dinner table and maintain a single conversation. With IIC approaching 250

members from 30 countries, when we met again in Reston last month, we could barely fit the

working-group leads around a table, and certainly failed to maintain a single conversation!

When the IIC was founded, it had four working groups that met regularly: marketing, technology,

IIC is again leading the way with a new working group: Business Strategy and Solutions Lifecycle.
