Business Boards Institute & BLUEPRINT – A head start on high-impact results
July 28, 2021, 8:00 - 9:30 a.m., Goering Center, Room 359
Advisory boards are game changers for family and private businesses, providing guidance on matters of strategic importance. However, not all businesses have a clear vision for success, strategies to get there, or defined metrics that help them keep score and measure performance. A board of advisors can help with that, to be sure. But, equip that board with a BLUEPRINT, and you have a head start on high impact results.
If 2020 taught us anything it’s that companies need to be able to pivot when – not if – there is a sudden shift in the marketplace. Unforeseen disrupters are everywhere demanding that businesses are at once focused and flexible, agile and aligned, in order to stay relevant. No one needs a strategy sitting on their shelf, but every business needs a BLUEPRINT – a simple, clear, easy-to-communicate plan for eliminating roadblocks and executing on a growth plan.
