A New Look and New Services for THE DARK REPORT

YOU’VE PROBABLY ALREADY NOTICED that this issue of THE DARK REPORT sports a new look! We took advantage of the New Year to deliver a fresh, new appearance to THE DARK REPORT while preserving all that’s unique and most valued by our long-time clients and regular readers.

Refinements to our established format are designed to make it easier and faster for you to see the information you want. Just as our editorial style has achieved a recognition for clarity and ease of reading, so also do we want the overall appearance of this publication to improve the value you gain from each issue.

This is another step in our ongoing effort to bring you the most relevant and most useful business intelligence and analysis in the laboratory industry. That was the motivation behind the launch of www.darkdaily.com in September. Our daily e-briefings have not only proved to be a big hit, but the ability of DARK Daily readers to immediately e-mail comments back to us has opened a new opportunity to report news and breaking events almost as fast as they occur.

For those of you who haven’t looked at www.darkdaily.com yet, it’s time that you did. Each DARK Daily e-briefing is a short, quick-to-read analysis about important developments in the laboratory industry. It’s already caused a stir and raised the competitive bar within the lab industry. Take a moment and sign up today. When you do, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to learn that DARK Daily comes directly to your desktop at no charge! It’s free!

What other improvements are ahead for THE DARK REPORT this year? I can’t let all our cats out of the bag, but I can reveal that the 12th Annual Executive War College on Lab and Pathology Management, scheduled for May 10-11, 2007 in Miami, Florida, will have some notable additions. Both first-timers and regular attendees will get extra value from the new features at this year’s program.

Also, stay tuned for an announcement in a month or so about another new service from THE DARK REPORT. It will be launched in the fall and is designed to support one of the most important management strategies to hit the laboratory industry in the past four decades. Finally, thank you for all your support during the years. Be assured that we are working hard to help you keep your laboratory at the peak of success!
