A People Operating System

May 11, 2022 – 7:30 – 9:30 AM

EOS is not a computer operating system, it is a people operating system. Here’s the premise … When you run on EOS, everyone is working toward the same goals. Your business runs more smoothly and profitably. You break through the ceiling to achieve growth. And you simply enjoy life more.

Specifically, EOS, the Entrepreneurial Operating System®, is a complete set of simple concepts and practical tools that has helped entrepreneurs around the world get what they want from their businesses. It helps leadership teams in three areas:

• VISION: Get everyone in your organization 100% on the same page with where you’re going and how you plan to get there.
• TRACTION®: Instill focus, discipline, and accountability throughout the company so that everyone executes on that vision – every day.
• HEALTH: Help your leaders become a more cohesive, functional, healthy leadership team.

Join us for a discussion led by Jack Keniley about his experiences leading clients through the process of implementing EOS. Two CEOs who have successfully implemented EOS in their operations will join Jack to provide insight on the challenges they faced and the impact it has had on their businesses.

They’re driving laboratory, business services, packaging, warehousing, logistics, real estate, and other businesses, including financial, accounting, legal and other professional and advisory services. Expanding cannabis sales now exceed $700 million annually in Massachusetts alone, with continuing rapid growth.

The Forum has invited an exceptional panel of experts to lend their knowledge and contemporary expertise to this Webinar discussion about the burgeoning impact of the cannabis industry on the New England business Community. Our panel includes:

Why A Webinar?

How To Build An Organization Where Everyone Loves to Work

Bryant University – Tuesday, December 10, 2019 – 7:30-9:30 AM

​“I believe deeply that managing people is a privilege. I work toward this belief every single day as CEO. Our Kronos family is built on a foundation of trust and transparency, which has been instrumental to our success. I am exceptionally proud to be a Kronite thanks to so many inspiring co-workers.”
Aron J. Ain
Chief Executive Officer
Chairman of the Board of Directors
Kronos Incorporated

Kronos CEO Aron Ain fiercely contends that great businesses are powered by great people and that there is a direct link between employee engagement, customer satisfaction, and business success – and he has proof. Since becoming CEO in 2005, Ain and team have put a laser focus on employee engagement as a growth strategy and saw worldwide employee engagement scores skyrocket as revenue nearly tripled to $1.4 billion.

Regarded as a pioneer in workforce management and human capital management, Ain has been instrumental in revolutionizing the way organizations manage their workforces with a new generation of products and services that empower employees to work smarter, work their way, and work in a modern cloud. Kronos industry-leading cloud, analytics, and mobile technologies are designed to serve global customer needs, increase productivity, manage compliance risk, and drive employee engagement.

Under Ain’s leadership, Kronos continues to be recognized for its innovative product offerings, exceptional services, and energized Top Place to Work corporate culture around the world. He has been profiled by The New York Times about “The Incalculable Value of a Good Boss” and was featured in both Harvard Business Review and the HBR IdeaCast podcast series discussing Kronos’ unique outlook on the employee experience and how the company works diligently to be a great employer. This continued recognition for the company’s award-winning culture culminated in the 2018 release of Ain’s debut book, “Work Inspired,” which chronicles the Kronos employee engagement journey and imparts lessons Ain has learned for senior leaders, HR professionals, and people managers to turn employee engagement into a strategic weapon.

Passionate about delivering the experience that customers expect, Ain asserts that employee retention leads to loyal and satisfied customers. According to Ain, “Kronites who feel valued stay longer and develop a deeper understanding of and stronger relationships with our customers. It is their experience and knowledge that allows Kronos to deliver incredibly innovative products and a superior customer experience.” Ain’s focus on the customer experience is the reason that a customer-first orientation is a core value intricately woven into the fabric of the company.

Company Growth Through Acquisition
Learn from insiders as they share their experiences

Bryant University – Tuesday, September 17, 2019 – 7:30-9:30 AM

While most businesses stay a course of measured improvements and expansion to achieve organic growth, others are successfully considering and making acquisitions to accelerate growth, profitability and value.

According to the 2019 State of the Deal report from Deloitte, “deal making may look a bit different in the year ahead, with a heavier emphasis on more traditional customer base expansion and diversification of products and services rather than technology plays.”

On September 17th, The Business Value Forum will present a conversation with business owners and leaders who have successfully re-energized their companies through strategic acquisition. They’ll share what they’ve learned; their business motivations, disciplines, opportunities and challenges; and, perhaps, the sleepless nights that punctuated their experiences.  They’ll share the planning and integration of acquisitions that worked.

Join us on September 17th at Bryant University for this lively and interactive program designed for business owners, managers and advisors.

The September 17th Forum:

Robert Israel
Sandvik Publishing Interactive
Danbury, Connecticut

Bob has spent almost all of his career in the consumer direct marketing, recurring revenue (subscription) field.

After five years as a product manager at MBI, Inc. (Danbury Mint, Easton Press) he was recruited to Lenox China where he spent the next decade in a variety of positions in both the consumer direct and key-account wholesale business.

After Lenox, Bob was offered the opportunity to lead a $15 million local, Norwegian-owned company that operated a book subscription called Baby’s First Book Club.  The company was quite distressed at the time but he recognized great potential.  Four years later, Scholastic, Inc. made an unsolicited offer and bought the company.  Bob and his Norwegian employer agreed to stay out of the business segment for five years and, five years later, they co-founded Sandvik Publishing Interactive, Inc (SPI).

After a failed attempt to build the new company from scratch with an entirely digital subscriber acquisition approach, SPI pursued a strategic acquisition that ultimately launched an 11-year (so far) successful run.  New brands were added by acquisitions of distressed companies in 2010 and 2016 and the company is currently on the hunt to add more.

Bob is a graduate of Cornell University with a BS in Labor Relations.  He and his wife Anne live in Yardley, Pennsylvania.  They have a son and daughter in their 20’s and are very close to the coveted empty nest.  Bob spends his free time on fitness, travel and reveling in the company of a great group of long-time friends.

The Value of Authentic Leadership:
The lessons of courage & compassion that inspire extraordinary organizational performance….

Bryant University – Thursday, May 30, 2019 – 7:30-9:30 AM

BRIG. GENERAL DONALD BOLDUC
US ARMY, RETIRED

No organization can thrive, or build its value, without the right leadership. No strategies, amount of capital, or good people can compensate for an organization lacking in strong leaders.

Please join The Business Value Forum on May 30th to discuss first-hand what this battle tested, structured but flexible, extremely effective leadership approach can do for your company.

Retired General Donald Bolduc will join the forum to share the lessons he’s learned on the values of being an authentic leader, and why he feels that it is the only sustainable kind of leadership. He will also explain why leadership must be based on the search for truth and how that takes the hardest kind of courage, Moral Courage. As a student of leadership, his examples will include comparisons to contemporary leadership theory from several fields while offering specific guidance that will challenge you to think differently about your own personal leadership style. The desired impact of the General’s dialogue with the audience is to leave you with practical insights and ideas that can strengthen your organization and impact your bottom line by improving the level of employee engagement using the principles of authentic leadership.

Bolduc has an A.S. in Criminal Justice, B.S. in Sociology, M.A. in Business Technology/Human Resource Development, M.S. in Strategic Studies, and is currently a Doctoral Candidate at Liberty University in Strategic Leadership. On 15 January 2019 he received a Doctorate in Humane Letters from New England College for distinction during his military service.

The general started his career as Private Bolduc on June 29, 1981, exactly 36 years before his final change of command. After the terrorist attacks of 9/11, then-Major Bolduc led one of the first groups into Afghanistan, riding on horseback to take control of the southern Afghanistan region from Taliban rule. One of the few survivors of a 2,000-pound bomb that was inadvertently targeted on their own position by friendly fire in December 2001, and, despite his injuries, Bolduc refused to leave the battlefield and continued to take on his next objective. He was later awarded his first of several combat valor awards and a Purple Heart for his injuries.

Beyond his various positions and awards, nothing brings more meaning to Bolduc’s service than his latest mission with the support of his wife Sharon to combat the stigmas around post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as one of the few senior military officers, and, at the time, the only active duty general officer on record, to openly discuss his own struggles with PTS, Bolduc has used his leadership position to change the conversation to one of understanding and acceptance through his own experiences. Dubbed “Captain America” and “Everyone’s General” by his fellow officers and soldiers, Bolduc always put country first, and now looks to continue his service off the battlefield sharing his leadership mantra of “People, Family, Mission” and his personal experiences with mental health to continue his leadership journey and help educate others. This promises to be a most unique, interactive, and educational program.

Bryant University – Wed, February 20, 2019 – 7:30-9:30 AM

During this session you will learn about effective methods and real-world examples of how the most successful organizations create cultures of innovation and experimentation.

• Create an environment that allows talented people to thrive
• Encourage creative collaboration in teams throughout an organization

The Enduring Family Business: Sustaining the Value and the Legacy

Bryant University ~ Wednesday, December 12, 2018 – 7:30-9:30 AM

There is no more impactful way to sustain the value and legacy of a company than to position the right family members for leadership and ownership succession.  Unfortunately, statistically speaking, only 1/3 of family businesses successfully continue even through a 2nd generation.  For a multitude of reasons, sustaining value and continuing the legacy of the family business continues to be a challenge and arguably may get even tougher. In this panel discussion, you will hear from next generation family members about how they successfully grew the value and continued the legacy of their family’s business along with their insights and best practices to safeguard the business value, and prepare the next generation for a successful transition.

Women in Leadership…The real impact on business value creation!

Bryant University ~ Tuesday, May 8, 2018 – 7:30-9:30 AM

Thriving enterprises that are led by women successfully meet or eclipse the industry yardsticks for growth and profitability. While building value by deploying broadly proven business disciplines, their results are also achieved through unique cultures and styles of leadership.

Generally, women-led businesses operate within energetic, multi-tasking environments. While building value and sustaining profitability, they mirror their leaders’ tendencies toward passion and empathy. The business cultures that underpin these organizations are generally rooted in a harmonizing business with personal, career, and family responsibilities.

Please join The Business Value Forum on May 8th for a hot breakfast, and the conversation with seasoned experts who will share their personal experiences and insights into the real impact of women on business value creation.

Our Panelists:

She is currently the CEO of Gendernomics, a company comprised of former CEO’s who have used the language and learning of Gendernomics to successfully build highly profitable companies and help turn-arounds that were in financial trouble return to profitability. Most recently, Jill has been bringing the message of improved economics through gender balance to the C-Suite of Fortune 500 companies.

Creating Value Through Differentiation: How to Stand Out from the Competition

Bryant University ~ Wednesday, February 7, 2018 – 7:30-9:30 AM

In industry after industry, firms find themselves competing head-to-head with rivals offering similar products and services. Customers have a hard time distinguishing among the competitors. In fact, firms often find themselves constantly benchmarking and copying one another. As a result, firms imitate one another continuously, and strategies converge over time. How can companies truly differentiate themselves in the marketplace? What does it take to stand out from the crowd and create a distinct competitive positioning? In this presentation, Professor Michael Roberto will address these important competitive questions.

Our featured Speaker is Dr. Michael A. Roberto. Professor Roberto is the Trustee Professor of Management and Director of the Center for Program Innovation at Bryant University in Smithfield, RI. He joined the tenured faculty at Bryant after serving for six years on the faculty at Harvard Business School.

Building Value in Your Business While Running It

Bryant University ~ Thursday, October 19, 2017 – 7:30-9:30 AM

Company owners, executives and advisers are generally focused on business operations and performance. Most delay attention to their enterprise value for another day. Yet a company’s value is significantly influenced by a business’s operation and performance, and an understanding of the components of value. It’s value that is of prime importance to lenders, vendors, potential partners, suitors and some customers – all of who play a pivotal role in a company’s future.

Building Value in Your Business While Running It brings together experienced practitioners and business people who’ve had hands-on experience in building business value. They’ll share their knowledge, and their insights into how an understanding of a company’s value helps to drive the right decisions to build real value for the long term.
