Special Presentation

In today's era of competition and consolidation, some companies are proudly delivering 20% to 50% annual growth. The vast majority, however, has experienced three consecutive years of fee and price erosion, commoditization, and company identity crises. What are the key strategies that successful CEOs are implementing to leverage the 2005 business recovery? Is your company REALLY ready to take advantage of this recovery?

Lisa Nirell, President of Nirell & Associates, will reveal the results of a 10-month study of CEOs who have consistently created profitable growth. In this session you will learn:

? The three major gaps between top performing and average performing companies

? The riskiest marketing strategy that professional services firms are using--and the biggest money wasters

? What keeps the most successful leaders awake at night

? The metrics and benchmarks being used by top performing services CEOs

? Case study of a top performing services leader--and her secret to driving 10 years of consistent top line growth
