What Got Us Here Won’t Get Us to Where We Want to Go

This podcast tells some of the stories of JFE Shoji Canada’s business, how we got here, what worked, what did not work, and a few amusing antidotes about the 50 year journey of the company and its people. It is meant to help create a deeper understanding of our company, some of the key people, and create a sense of what has built the company, formed its vision, and what is likely next on the horizon.

A look back at the period of 2016 to 2019 when Tata Steel was trying to sell the Cogent Power Group.  At one point, we had three business transitions going on at the same time, and the future was very uncertain.   The challenges of a financially strapped parent company, and a misaligned strategy led to an interesting story of how the company came to be sold to JFE Shoji.

In Episode One and Two we talked about our company's capacity to rise to the challenge in a crisis, when the outside world throws us a hard curve ball.  In this episode, we discuss harnessing this same energy and capacity in pursuit of something really big.  What is needed for our company to run forward really fast, and "really go for it"?

    Cardiac Cowboys

    The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
