Will you be ready?
May 10th, 2009
With the economy beginning to show signs of a fragile turnaround, association leaders need to ask themselves a critical question:
Will our organization be ready to create the kinds of new value our stakeholders want and need?
After a prolonged cycle of cost-cutting and managing for the downturn, the vast majority of associations will answer this question with a resounding no. So now is not the time to ignore the future. Now is the time to identify, design and build the necessary organizational capabilities to create a vibrant future for your association.
Beginning on May 20 for three consecutive weeks, I will be presenting the Boston Conference Association Innovation Webinar Series, and I will show you how to grow your association’s capacity to make innovation happen. We will look at how associations can “govern for innovation,” how to build innovation as a deep capability and how to engage innovation contributors at the edge of your organizations. This first-of-its-kind webinar series will the most comprehensive look at the demands of innovation for associations ever!
If you’re thinking about how to make your association and its members successful during the rest of 2009 and beyond, you do not want to miss this seminar series. I hope you will consider registering today.
