Applying research to strategy: Learn how to capture value from partnerships

At AESA's Summer Leadership Conference,  Duncan will lead participants through his business strategy framework.   Your team will walk away with an understanding of whether you should strategically enter into a new partnership and if you do, how to sustain that partnership once it is off the ground.  
 While his work is widely publishe d in the academic literature, he has helped numerous ESAs with his business strategy framework. Duncan has a Ph.D. from MIT. Currently, he holds the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Chair in Management Science. Prior to joining the faculty at MIT, he was a professor at the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business. He is also a qualified lawyer and member of the Bar in his native New Zealand.

AESA Business Partner News

PlanMember Services is an AESA business partner. We feature our Business Partners in the Online News and encourage you to get to know them!

How can PlanMember Services can help your ESA?
  • Increase awareness about the importance of savings for retirement and getting started early in voluntary 403(b) and 457(b) savings programs. Participation rates nationally are 25% vs. 79% in the private sector.
  • Analyze whether your employees are saving enough to live a financially secure retirement. Do employees know what they will be receiving from their state retirement system's pension and/or Social Security and what savings gap they need to satisfy? 
  • Increase employee productivity. Studies have shown all employees experience some level of financial difficulty that translates to morale, distraction and absenteeism issues. Employees with reduced financial concerns are more productive.
