1 Ownership Thinking: Building Value Within an Already Successful Company Presented by Resultants for Business, Inc. This workshop is designed specifically for owners and top level leadership who have responsibility for the entire organization. Owners, CEO’s and general managers all know how to build…it’s in our DNA…it’s how we became successful in business in the first place. Yet, owners and leaders rarely take time to focus on their number one responsibility, building value, because it seems so vague. How can it be broken down into bite-size pieces? This workshop is about capitalizing on that ownership thinking to move our companies forward, to build a better, more valuable organization from the inside out. Running a company day-to-day leaves you little time to think strategically about your business. Why not take a break from working IN your business and treat yourself to a day of strategically working ON your business? You will come away with: • A different perspective on “ownership thinking” and building value • Challenging exercises you can use within your own organization • An opportunity to dialogue with other owners and top-level leaders Join a group of very unique business advisors (and entrepreneurs) who will present five Ownership Thinking Topics: • Value Building: How owners & CEOs can lead with a value strategy • Customer Building: How owners & CEOs can develop a Blue Ocean strategy • Sales Building: How owners & CEOs view sales leadership • Profit Building: How owners & CEOs can leverage behavioral finance • Legacy Building: How owners & CEOs can integrate a succession strategy Time: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. | Room 103BC
