Executive Forum: Future Factories Symposium with Mike Paton, Traction

Future Factories: A Symposium of Talent, Technology & Tactics:

EDGE, along with our Forum sponsors, BNY-Mellon and KPMG, is pleased to present the keynote speaker, Mike Paton.  Mike is an integral part of EOS Worldwide and an author, with Gino Wickman (“Traction”), of “Get a Grip.”   In an opening keynote to all conference attendees, Paton will share some of the essentials of the Entrepreneurial Operating System. Following the keynote, EDGE members will continue to learn in a workshop format, with several EOS Implementors on hand to guide us.  Be prepared to work on your business.   In this regard, EDGE would like each attendee to start thinking like an owner, as each of you “owns” a part of your respective organization and the value it creates for you, your company, your team, vendors and customers.  Following the workshop, we will reconvene with the rest of the conference attendees for a lunch and luncheon speaker!

In particular, you will learn:

  • How to clarify your vision so that everyone is rowing in the same direction
  • How to get the right people in the right seats, and plan for growth
  • How to get better accountability from your team by setting short term goals and prioritizing the issues that come up
  • How to set up the processes that make the work clear and consistent
  • How to gain traction so you can execute your plan at a pace that satisfies your growth goals

Each company is encouraged to send multiple attendees.
