Detailed Description

Symposium Context

Increasing Value-Creation Exponentially

When a rough diamond is cut masterfully, its brilliance shines through, and its value increases dramatically. Cutting and polishing a diamond takes a sophisticated strategy, extreme skill and careful execution.

Companies are similar to diamonds. Only when their management philosophies are masterfully and thoughtfully crystallized does their brilliance begin to shine through and their success exponentially increases in the marketplace.

What are Management Philosophies?

Management philosophies encompass the business model and the non-negotiable aspects of a business that do not change regardless of economic cycles and marketplace changes. Management philosophies are part of the Business-DNA, they are part of the Company’s Foundation.

If you have weak, unstated or unclear management philosophies, you will never achieve the value-creation you envision.

If you study the greatest companies and countries in history, you will come to appreciate that the most critical cornerstone in their longevity and success was their management philosophies/Business-DNA.

Mediocre companies struggle with perennial strategic confusion, dysfunction and flawed execution because they do not invest the time and intellectual effort needed to crystallize their management philosophies. These companies work very hard, yet they struggle to achieve the results they desire.

Why Attend?

• Come to understand what are management philosophies and how it impacts the very foundation, the core building blocks of your company?

• Learn from other leaders how they have worked on defining their management philosophies so that their companies stand out from the competition.

• Crystallizing management philosophies is challenging work. Learn from other companies the mistakes they have made in understanding their true management philosophies and the epiphanies they have had.

• Bring your management team — this discussion will force your team to go through an introspection like no other discussion. This is business soul-searching at its best. It will set the stage for your strategic success in 2024.

Invite your management team and clients for this super-important and highly relevant discussion.

We are looking forward to a powerful discussion with:

• Mr. Kyle Howard, President, EnSiteUSA

• Mr. Ryan Hummer, Chief Executive Officer, NCS Multistage

• Mr. Erik Wiik, President, ReAdapt

Our Unique Format

What Makes Us Different?

Houston Strategy Forum events are innovative. No speeches. No PowerPoint presentations. They are open and down-to-earth discussions with our speakers. Our format is a relaxed, intimate, fireside-style chat. And, always unscripted!

Over the years, we have had top CEOs and executives share their deepest thoughts and feelings that you would never hear in a regular conference. We respect and value that interaction greatly — it is what makes us the preeminent discussion forum.

Our business talk show format facilitates an energetic, meaningful, and respectful exchange of ideas between our speakers and attendees. Our goal is to get a majority of the attendees to contribute to the discussion. When that happens — it creates magic!

We receive rave reviews about our format both from our speakers and attendees.

To encourage an open and candid discussion we follow Chatham House rules.
