“What Big Brands Know: Navigating Change”
To win in business today, it’s no longer sufficient to be faster or better at what you’re already doing. The most successful companies have become adept at navigating change. Effective leaders create companies where every employee has clarity about where they are going and why.
There are four simple, but powerful, questions that every leader should be asking to drive clarity and create an effective strategic navigation plan.
Employees don’t like change. Bold leaders are willing to disrupt their companies, even when it’s unpopular. They do it not for the sake of disruption, but because they see what is possible when others do not. Gerry’s framework is powerful enough to create game-changing strategies, but simple enough that every employee will understand the vision and be excited for what’s next.
Gerry O’Brion is a nationally recognized marketing and branding expert who has worked on several billion dollar brands and distilled that experience into growth strategies you can implement immediately, regardless of your budget.
Whether you’re B to B, B to C, a big company or small you can use the same strategies as the big guys to attract customers and turn them into powerful advocates of your business. This presentation is perfect for CEOs, executive teams, business owners, and marketers.
