2.5 Day Intensive with Verne Harnish – Dec 9 – 11, Raleigh, NC

"…outlearning the competition"

HEADLINES:

2.5 Day Intensive – Rockefeller Habits 2.0 Master Class — a few times each year I personally teach a Scaling Up (Rockefeller Habits 2.0) two and a half-day master class. It's designed for executive teams which want to immerse themselves in our various one-page tools: People, Strategy, Execution, and Cash. The format allows for plenty of personal Q&A and worktime with me along with sufficient time so teams can get aligned and bond. This significantly jump-starts or re-starts the implementation of the Rockefeller Habits with many of the top performing growth firms we work with using it as an annual tune-up to their processes. We've been offering these around the globe the past 6 years. The next open one is Dec 9 – 11, Raleigh, NC (Dec 2 – 4 for YPO members sold out months ago).

Dec 9 – 11 Raleigh, NC — timed to support 2016 planning, this is my first 2.5 day master class in Raleigh, NC. The event starts Tuesday evening, Dec 8, with a private reception and dinner for the CEOs of the teams attending the class. Wednesday's class is 9am – 5:30pm with time for the teams to work in the evening. Thursday's class is 9am – 3:30pm, with 4pm – 5:30pm being a working session. Friday's class is 8:30am – noon, giving time for teams to transit back for the weekend. Here's a link to more information including a detailed agenda. The fee is $1595 – $1995/executive depending on the size of team. I look forward to working with your team during these 2.5 days.

2.5 Day Scaling Up Course Online — and the 2.5 day Scaling Up master class is now completely online. We taped it this summer, allowing you and your team to self-pace your way through the entire class, book, and one-page tools. Besides the self-paced version, there is a "Coached" option and an enterprise license option. There are similar master class options for Topgrading and Exponential Organizations classes.

It's Strategic Planning Time — and since it is planning season, there is a bonus Scaling Up chapter to download titled "Strategic Planning: Preparing and Leading the Planning Process" – and includes a sample One-Page Strategic Plan. The chapter, formatted the same as those in Scaling Up, details the steps needed to properly prepare for a strategic planning offsite (customer and employee surveys, SWOT, SWT); suggested agendas (flow) for the actual planning session; and activities post.
