HARLAN, Iowa, March 16, 2010 – HTG Peer Groups, a network of IT solution provider executives formed to collaborate and share business best practices, today announced its second CEO Forum will be held June 10-11 in Denver, Colorado.
HTG Peer Groups’ CEO Forums address concerns and issues that face fast-paced, increasingly complex businesses and provide attendees with opportunities to improve, evolve, and transition from owner/operators to leaders and visionaries. CEOs from solution provider organizations will gather for discussions on strategic planning, financial trends, corporate culture, employee recruiting and compensation, risk management, business development, with an emphasis on forward-thinking rather than reactive decisions.
“There is a need for IT companies to move beyond the typical approach of managing their companies through KPIs and financials,” said Arlin Sorensen, founder and CEO of the HTG Peer Groups. “The CEO Forum is about a forward-looking strategic focus, critical for companies to continue growing and preparing for the changes that will be affecting our businesses in the next few years. By getting members together and changing our view to forward rather than past performance, we will be positioning companies for success as they address the changes that are coming.”
Chris Chirgwin, CEO of Lanspeed, Santa Barbara, California’s leading IT professional services firm, attended the inaugural CEO Forum in January and found value in its focus on management and leadership. “The highlight of the event was the conversation about the role of the CEO and how most of us spend too much time on operational issues and not enough time on defining and communicating the vision of our company. I was able to put what I learned into action immediately and since the event, I’ve seen positive changes in my company. I am looking forward to new insight from the next HTG CEO Forum in June.”
“I could never have achieved the personal and professional momentum I have thus far without HTG Peer Groups and the HTG CEO Forum providing me with opportunities to learn from my peers and industry veterans,” said Dan Shundoff, president and CEO of Kearney, Nebraskabased IntelliCom, a leading provider of outsourced technology solutions in Central Nebraska. “If sustained growth is the goal, we all need the broad shoulders of clear vision and strong leadership offered by the HTG CEO Forum.”
