Welcome to the second issue of In Our Hands: extra, the new on-line newsletter for ITT Industries employees. The goal of this electronic newsletters is to bring you current, continual information via the company intranet - complementing the print version of In Our Hands with more timely, more in-depth, and just plain more stories. We will post new stories about once a month, but check back regularly because the intranet allows us to publish news as it happens. A huge contract. A product breakthrough. A new Vision statement or an important VBSS announcement. In Our Hands: extra will keep you up-to-date with the latest news and provide perspective on current events that affect our company. I encourage you to send us your story ideas. ITT Industries is a huge company, and while we do our best to stay current with what's happening around the organization, there is no way we can know everything that is happening at your unit, company or plant. Your input is invaluable in ensuring that In Our Hands: extra becomes a vital, vibrant source of information for everyone at ITT Industries.
