Driving Change, Impact, and Growth in Your Organization

Tue, Oct 8 at 12 noon ET

October Leadership Q&A session: Driving Change, Impact, and Growth in Your Organization webinar cover with Randall smiling
Your organization has grown, but it seems more chaotic than ever.
Or there has been a major “shock” to the organization (tough economy, M&A, new competitor, new systems, new tech - eg AI), and there is a significant amount of uncertainty or stress. 
Or maybe there is a new leadership team, who wants to do things… very differently.
Yes, traditional change management has its place, but in this session, we will go beyond, and explore a number of additional concepts.

Member Value, Non-Dues Revenue, and New Association Business Models

Wed, Nov 6 at 12 noon ET

November Bonus Leadership Q&A session: Member Value, Non-Dues Revenue, and New Association Business Models webinar cover with Randall smiling

Associations are under constant pressure to do more with less, to offer increasing value to members, while also create additional revenue.

Yet the association business model is under assault: a tough economy has taken its toll on membership revenues, younger prospective members are “nibblers” not joiners, and convention revenues are no longer reliable.

In this session, we’ll delve into the answers to the above questions, and provide bold (and realistic) recommendations on them.

Building Your Business with Partnerships

Tue, Dec 3 at 12 noon ET

Partnerships are tremendously valuable in your business growth strategy. They can be used for virtually anything: delivery in areas you don’t have experience in, to help cover an operational blindspot, for referrals and direct growth, to complete a product offering, affiliate deals, gainsharing, licensing… need we say more?

So let’s take the hour to talk strategy and tactics. Topics include:

•  The decision to build it internally… or engage a partner
•  Building external partnerships
•  Strategic alliances and joint ventures
•  When things don’t go as planned
