Business Luncheon - February 2011

Event Sponsors

UW SBDC
Small Business Administration

  
 
The Portage Area Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the UW- Small Business Development Center and the Small Business Administration to offer you educational workshops and networking with your Chamber members.


Question-Based Planning - headed in the right direction

 
Do all your managers know where your organization is headed - and how they fit in?

Question-Based Planning™ gives your organization focus fast.  It's a plain-English alternative to traditional "strategic" planning. It yields a one-page plan that helps you keep everyone headed in the same direction, letting everyone see how they fit in; our experts know what to ask.

Good questions clarify purpose and direction so managers can move forward together toward a common goal. Our approach to business planning lets managers define and track the year's top tasks.

For over 15 years, 3GoodQuestions has helped CEOs make big decisions successfully. Our unique approach responds to what every CEO says, "We don't want the planner to lecture us; we want them to ask us good questions". We ask questions from the perspective of all departments including: Marketing, Sales, Operations, IT, HR and Finance.

 

When: Wednesday, February 16, 2011
Where:  Portage Public Library
Time:  Lunch at 11:30 A.M, Speaker at Noon 
Cost: $10.00, cash or check please
Caterer: Quinn's Hitching Post

Guest Speaker: Derrick is Principal of 3GoodQuestions, providing Question-Based Planning, an alternative to traditional "strategic" planning. He leads all 3GQ assignments by facilitating the initial discovery session, coordinating the work of the experts, and presenting and following up on the plan. Derrick is the author of the books Question-Based Planning and Buildings Matter. Derrick is a Chicago native; he has a B. A. in economics from Tufts University, an MBA from Loyola and an M. A. from Northwestern.
