CEOs Raise Big Bucks for March of Dimes

 

A single clay brick has little

value. But when assembled

with many more bricks, and fortified with mortar, the result can be a great castle or majestic cathedral. That was the rationale behind a group of Dallas / Ft. Worth area CEOs who joined together to collectively walk

in the 2002 WalkAmerica.

Putting Out Fires

In 1962, a raging fire in the Sahara Desert shot flames into the air for more than six months.  It was fueled by 550 million feet of natural gas per day and was dubbed “The Devil’s Cigarette Lighter”.  All attempts to put out the blaze failed until The Red Adair Company arrived on the scene.  Red Adair and his crew extinguished the blaze.  And while Red had been fighting oil-well fires and blowouts for more than twenty years, the recognition he received from this is what sparked his rise to fame.  The Red Adair Company was also the first to extinguish an underwater wild well and the first to cap a U.S. well while it was on fire.  In 1968, John Wayne portrayed a character based on Adair in the movie Hellfighters.   

Red and his team went on to extinguish many blazes, but none more impressive than in the Middle East in 1991.  The Red Adair Company extinguished 117 burning oilwell fires ignited by Saddam Hussein's Iraqi troops retreating from Kuwait.  While estimates of completion of the firefighting operation ranged from three to five years, Red Adair and his team accomplished this in only nine months.   

The reason for this story is that it is the best way to describe what CDG does.  We put out fires.  When HR and payroll information system projects are in trouble, companies call CDG to rescue them.  When deadlines are quickly approaching and the project is behind schedule, or the required expertise for a project is not available, they call CDG.  Our narrow focus, our experienced consultants and our flexibility allow us to rescue troubled HRIS consulting projects better than anyone else.
