SEMINAR
Whether you are a corporate executive or start-up entrepreneur this one-day seminar is guaranteed to provoke valuable strategic thinking. With over forty presentations across multiple years, this seminar is consistently scored an “A” by attendees.
Whether you are a major corporation or start-up – this one day seminar is guaranteed to provoke strategic thinking throughout your organization.
Many, if not most companies, no matter how successful or established, run out of balance. That lack of balance is either never addressed or dealt with only when the outcome is unbearable. The net cost to the organization is lost opportunity, and in some cases the demise of the business altogether.
In this engaging seminar, you will explore the foundation of a quality business “Recipe.” You will learn from Nelson’s 35+ years of experience as well as the experiences of others around you. You will be able to apply what you learn directly to your business. You will identify multiple areas of opportunity within your company for improvement. And, you will leave with actionable steps to guide your business success.
This is not your typical “sit and listen while you do your e-mail” seminar. The presentation is engaging and the blend of business theory and real-world history is educational and humorous. Year after year, participant surveys rate the day a 3.9 average out of a possible high score of 4.0 for both content and delivery.
A fifty page workbook with seminar content as well as note sections help guide you through this thought provoking day by experienced presenter Curtis Nelson. You will hear real-world “did-it-right” as well as “did-it-wrong” stories and spend time in group study activities to expand the learning experience.
At the end of each seminar track, you will have the ability to score your business against the curriculum, ultimately ending the day with a “Report Card” outlining actionable opportunities for improvement.

Strategic Fit – The first ingredient must be a valid and defendable reason to be in business. Why does the market need your business? Can you accurately define the reason(s) why your business will be, or is successful? What problem do you solve? How big is the problem? Who wants it solved? How many have the problem? What will they pay to solve it? Who else solves it and can you differentiate from them? Can you make money solving it? Learn how to clearly define your businesses “Strategic Fit” and why this process is the foundational component of success.
Business Plan – The second ingredient is a business plan that you and your team will actually use to guide your success. Learn the core components of a quality plan from a veteran with real-world experience. From mission and culture to strategies and tactics, you will learn to build a plan that works for you, your team, and your business – not one that occupies a spot on your shelf.
Team & Talent – Quality execution can only come from a properly talented and balanced team. The right talent in the right places at the right time is critical to business success; yet in many businesses, critical positions are filled in the opposite way. Learn what a balanced high-performance team looks like and explore how to recruit and retain them. This track provides a re-usable tool that will allow you to score your team and identify the gaps and opportunities.
Leadership – It is impossible to execute optimally without great leadership. The culture and core ability of your business to succeed comes from the top.

Learn what distinguishes real leaders from administrative managers and bureaucrats’ and take away key characteristics you can apply daily to improve your leadership capabilities.
Resources – Without the proper resources, great talent and leadership cannot execute to their potential. From securing the proper capitalization to providing the right working environment or information technology, having the right resources at the right time is essential for success. Learn what resources to consider and how to get them.
