General Session: The Next Generation Business Differentiator - Thought Leadership

Presented by: Brian Keemer

Date: Thursday, April 16, 2009

Time: 8:00 AM - 8:45 AM

 Those who generate thought leadership for strategic advantage will beat competitors down the cost curve; gain market share in business; have the luxury of venturing into new profit pools; and simplify business for faster market adaptation.

The battle for success in business is won and lost before the quest begins. The O.P.E.R.A. process guides thought leadership to shift paradigms, create intellectual power, and fulfill attainment in the areas of people, purpose and performance. O.P.E.R.A. moves people and organizations from confusion, to order, to excellence in any endeavor. It builds a culture of continuous improvement, utilizing a common language, that aligns everyone from the shop floor to the boardroom.

"Business acts as it's acted upon. It has no initiative in and of itself, but instead manifests according to the thoughts, policies and resources that you feed it." -Brian Keemer
