July National Celebrations, Be Informed & Keep Learning
|
|
Dear Members of the FACC-PNW Community,
July National Celebrations
times two
- This month, enjoy the USA’s 4
th
of July Celebration
and
France’s Bastille Day fête on July 14. To celebrate these special events and learn more about the great bonds between the U.S. and France,
FACC-PNW Le Networking Committee invites you to join us for a
virtual trivia game
on July 8.
Look for an entertaining session where you can share your knowledge and/or pick up new perspectives and facts from other participants (details are below).
Because of the restrictions around the pandemic, we continue to organize online meetings on relevant subjects in today’s fast-changing environment. The crisis has the potential not only to change important aspects of our daily lives, but also the pace of change in how we do business. Consider the
webinar on July 9 on how continuous evolution is becoming the “New Normal.”
We’ll discuss how companies can make concerted efforts to develop entirely new frameworks to manage growth, innovation, and transformation, as they move away from ‘strategy as analysis’ to ‘strategy as innovation’ (details are below).
We are actively planning the 4
th
FACC-PNW Aerospace Committee
online meeting on July 23, where companies exchange useful information on how they are facing the current crisis are preparing the future.
We thank you for your continued interest and involvement in our activities, and for your support.
Sincerely,
Eric Beaulieu, Executive Director
FACC-PNW

REFRAMING YOUR FUTURE
WITH INNOVATION & BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION
|
|
Today, successful companies make zero assumptions about their market, test everything regularly to understand how behaviors change, and adapt to them rapidly. As continuous
evolution becomes the “New Normal”
, we must acknowledge it as an on-going effort that requires an entirely
new framework to manage growth, innovation, and transformation
. We are moving from ‘strategy as analysis’ to ‘strategy as innovation’. (Free for FACC members; $5 for non-members.)
In this webinar you will learn:
- How to pivot your business model by connecting Innovation and growth.
- How to create a business transformation roadmap.
- What it means to unify your organization around a vision and a core business.
To discover mega trends and best practices from companies that adapt and thrive in a world of constant change:
