Interview of Palmer Savage, retired Chief Executive Officer and one of the "Four Horsemen" involved in the reorganization of the Dominion Bridge Company in 1959. Savage outlines the previous organizational structure of the company prior to 1959 and how he and Bob Fricker, Ernie Ford and MacKenzie "Ken" MacMurray formed a task force "with a view to improving the organizational structure and business policy of the company". During the interview Savage recalls some of the task force's preliminary findings such as a need for tighter control over all the company's divisions which had been operating autonomously. Other comments include conducting market surveys for the company's products, examining job descriptions and the leadership of Hubert Welsford, Vice-President of Dominion Bridge, whose administration acumen and high regard for Druker's MANAGEMENT BY OBJECTIVES theory was eventually responsible for a company-wide reorganization in 1959. Other topics include: the company's interest in trade associations such as The Canadian Institute of Steel Construction and The Canadian Standards Association; the difficult working conditions in remote construction camps; some advances in construction technology; and the many projects he worked on such as the INCO mines, the Aluminum Company plants at Arvida, Quebec and in Guyana, and the Atomic Energy Commission facilities at Chalk River, Ontario. Also, noteworthy discussion of the high productivity of French-speaking and Native "high steel" workers and the former prestressing plant which specialized in the production of steel cable for suspension bridges. Throughout the interview, Savage talks about several Dominion Bridge executives, managers and workers that he has worked with over the years.
