From the vision of a few people, great companies are born. As they grow more and more people join, contribute to the company and become the value of the company. The company is the people who make it up,especially in our knowledge based economy. The culture that is formed at this early stage becomes an imutable part of the company.

At least in the the successful case. Often companies fail because of internal conflicts between people. Everyone needs to point in the same direction and work together to succeed.

How do you create a corporate culture that will attract the type of people you need to be successful? How do reward those people and make them feel like the contributions to the company will benefit them? How do you balance the need to keep intellectual capital and broaden your resources through outsourcing and partnerships? How do you create a company where people of all cultures are both your customers and your employees? How do you value a company whose main value is its people and its ideas. How do you create a company that will be a success in the global marketplace of the 21st century?

Our panel, Krista Henly, Don Presson, Laura Raynak, and Joseph Werner will answer these questions and many more to provide you with action items to making your company a great company and making sure your investments bring a return.
