Each event focuses on a key aspect of your business and is designed to educate both the owner and the manager on how to work together to achieve higher results.

Too often managers think their role is to monitor what we are doing. In fact, Management’s job is to make sure we know where we are going. Every new experience, piece of data, and insight has the potential of moving your target. Whether or not your company changes its course accordingly is up to you. What people, tools, and processes do you need to make sure your business is nimble enough to get where it's supposed to be going?
