CVO Webinar

CVO Webinar
It's All About Strategic Value:
Moving Your Company from Ordinary to Extraordinary
May 5, 2021 - 1:00 p.m. ET



Whether your company is family owned, ESOP, or publically held, as a leader you have a responsibility to think hard and purposefully about creating strategic value for your customers. Attend this webinar to understand from a seasoned business owner-turned business counselor and a successful executive running a family run business how to make the critical transformation from the Chief Executive Office role into the Chief Value Officer role.

Specifically, you will own the following concepts after attending:

     -   CEO as CVO
     -   Strategic Value and the Four Pillars
     -   Why It's Always the Right Time
     -   Strategic Value Acceleration

Our webinar leaders will weave their personal experiences into demonstrating these key concepts.

Presenters:

Joel Strom, Chief Value Officers

Joel developed the concept and process of Strategic Value based on more than four decades of practical experience as a business owner, advisor, investment banker, and CEO. He has seen the spectacular results that business owners and CEO's have realized from accelerating their Strategic Value. He founded Chief Value Officers because he remains committed to helping businesses go from Ordinary to Extraordinary. Joel believes that the primary role of any owner or CEO in a privately held business is to be the CVO.

He recently completed a five-year period where he served as the CEO of a family owned 50-year-old technical product manufacturing company with 230 employees. During his tenure as CEO and in his role as CVO, Joel led that organization through a remarkable transformation. Utilizing the concept of Strategic Value, he was able to maximize the enterprise's value by creating a world-class leadership team, shifting the company's mindset to be forward-looking in the digital age, and by developing and implementing innovative and comprehensive go-to-market strategies and operational excellence. The result was securing its place as world leader in its industry and calumniating in being awarded the 2019 Manufacturer of the Year Award by the State Manufacturers Council. Once his mission with that company was complete, he decided to return to his passion to help other clients maximize their Strategic Value by founding Chief Value Officers.

He has and continues to sit on corporate and advisory boards and remains active in civic and industry associations. The Institute of Management Consultants designated Joel as a Certified Management Consultant (CMC), an achievement realized by less than 1% of all consultants worldwide. He holds a degree in mechanical engineering from Case Institute of Technology and an MBA from the Weatherhead School of Management of Case Western Reserve University.

Chelsea Lantto, Trenton Forging Company

She encourages her leadership team to emphasize and foster a culture of collaboration, communication, and trust, and she celebrates historical accomplishment while striving for future improvements.
