Scott is one of the talented few who knows how to spot and leverage technology trends into the marketplace.”  John Bobo | Nascar

KEYNOTES

 The Growth Zone

How can you confidently develop a growth path and leverage resources you already have to execute it? Using the Growth Zone framework, you can find a new product or offering that fits your business model, your market and your capability.

Who will benefit: Mid-sized businesses and Founder/Owners with a profitable first offering whose goal is to establish a thriving second offer.

As a result of this session: You will find out how to build your firm’s unique capabilities into several business maps that will allow clear cross-functional discussion. You will also leave with a solid understanding of existing value elements in your organization you can capitalize on now to meet new market and customer trends.  Finally, you will leave with a concise list of next steps for putting your business plan into action.

Scott has the unique ability to make the complex simple and create an inclusive environment for an entire team.”  Julie Williams | Sherpa Marketing

Small Team | Big Impact

How do you find and equip your growth leaders? How do you empower them with the skills and passion to take your organization to the next level… and overcome internal resistance to execute on large-scale value?

Who will benefit: SBU SVP’s, VP’s and their staffs, CTO’s, Lab Directors, Product Planning & technology planning executives, operations executives that support new products, strategic sales leaders.

As a result of this session: You and your leaders will be able to:

  • Find the hidden growth leader talent in your organization – and understand how to engage and retain them
  • Learn specific tools and techniques to avoid the “Big Miss” – and the resulting loss of investment dollars and talent that comes from early over commitment
  • Identify approaches to make the most efficient use of your scarcest strategic resources
  • Gain strategies and techniques to build “a container” for the breakthrough team to be successful

In his strategy sessions with us, Scott has assisted our team greatly in our efforts to become a lean start up that is not simply surviving, but thriving.”  Bill Weber | 3D Centrifuge
