Keep the Status Quo From Killing Your Business

Presented by: Daniel Schroeder, Ph.D., Program Director, Edgewood College School of Business

Every organization goes through a life cycle of entrepreneurism and growth before its leadership team needs to answer a single critical question: "Will more of the same produce better results?" While it's easier to keep doing things the way they have always been done, there's also a greater risk of becoming obsolete if you fail to evolve. At the next In Business Seminar on May 27, Dan Schroeder will give you the tools necessary to unearth new opportunities, rekindle an entrepreneurial spirit, and foster a corporate culture that embraces change.
