Successful serial entrepreneur and Fortune 150 C-level executive, the author of Think Inside The Box shows how to exploit the great business now existing within your organization.
Event Details
A major advantage smaller businesses can enjoy over larger competitors, indeed often essential for their viability, is flexibility in taking actions. This adaptability, however, can come with a sacrifice of rigor in decision making- for example, longer term planning while acknowledged as theoretically useful can nonetheless hold a lower priority for entrepreneurs.
Our speaker, with decades of experience from both sides of the flexibility/rigor divide, will offer practical tips to spotlight your most rewarding products and customers. His views will extend beyond analysis to operational execution via techniques like Kanban systems and value stream mapping. Ideally, applying his insights would be analogous to adopting the best practices of private equity without sacrificing ownership control.
Booth alumni and faculty and Entrepreneurial Roundtable members: $15 until March 11, then $5 more.
General public: $20 until March 11, then $5 more.
