It did highlight the fact that management consultant's presentations are undergoing a drastic paradigm shift in these dynamic and exciting changing times. There are fewer pie charts and an increasing number of pyramid and spider charts being used these days to capture the essence of rightsizing and leverage the optimal empowerment of the java professional.
The presenation broke new ground by finally laying to rest the rumors that it was the bungling of management that caused the dot com bust in the first place. It had to be something else!
in case anyone was wondering what the discreet coughing was during the presentation, I was playing Buzzword Bingo at the back of the auditorium

Try it sometime!! I heard it may become an Olympic sport someday.

There was a strong turnout. The pizza was 98% consumed when I cut out of the lecture hall at 8:20 PM; 99% gone by the time I left the building.
The presentation had a lot of $5 phrases, the sort of thing I have come to expect from management consulting companies. Nonetheless there were times when I suspected the speaker had a substantive message which, in a sentence, was:
Things are looking up for Java technology and developers, especially in the timeframe 1-5 years in the future.
