2022 06.30 – 23.00 US Eastern Time
Shaping America’s Role in a Post-Pandemic World
On March 04, 2022, at the virtual Horasis USA Meeting, 8W8 Global Business Builders’ CEO, Ralf Hirt, will be chairing the panel ‘What is the IQ of your company? Measure, Develop, Apply, Evolve, Repeat’ with five highly accomplished speakers. Companies are poised to deliver exponential growth to defend their market position, increase their market share as well as valuations and please all stakeholders, whether these are shareholders, investors, clients, employees, laws, ecosystem rules, UN Sustainable Development Goals. Scaling up is when the rubber hits the road and theories meet practice. Ongoing value creation is the key to delivering on a firm’s purpose and mission. How can companies assess, develop and apply their IQs to make things happen, track their progress, and evolve to keep winning?
