John Caslione’s Topics
- The Shifting Path for Growth in The Age of Turbulence John helps business leaders address one of their most perplexing questions confronting them today: How do I get my organization to understand that to be successful we must look beyond the U.S. (and Europe) and be committed to building our foreign business, especially in emerging high growth markets, to sustain our company’s mid- and long-term growth? The great American shift is now underway. Is your company ready for it?
- GOING GLOBAL: Mandate for Growth Amelia Earhart once said that, “Trouble in the air is very rare. It is hitting the ground that causes it.” The same is true with globalizing. Our 30,000 foot perspective isn’t the difficult part of globalizing; it is actually being on the ground and putting a global organizational execution and transition plan into action where it gets hard. If companies want to survive and thrive, globalization is not an option: it is a necessity.
- Business of Managing and Marketing in Age of Turbulence All strategies wear out and do so even faster during times of turbulence. Caslione’s CHAOTICS is a disciplined approach for detecting sources of turbulence, predicting consequent vulnerabilities and opportunities, and developing critical, pragmatic and timely responses. CHAOTICS represents a new system, a new set of strategic behaviors and guidelines designed to help business leaders and their companies navigate turbulence and uncertainty. The good news: there are opportunities, and leaders who truly lead are capitalizing at this (shifting of growth) moment in time.
- “Tap In” To The Rise of Consumerism in Asia Without a doubt – the next surge in consumer spending will not be felt in the U.S. or Europe. The massive surge of consumerism will continue to be evident in Asia and the emerging markets. In this New Keynote address Caslione tells audiences what other businesses are doing to “Tap In” and leverage this very big opportunity NOW. There is a shift happening, and you do not want to miss this important global perspective when planning your next executive strategic planning session.
- Compete Against Price in Today’s Global Economy Today’s competitive environment is not for the meek, but there are business strategies that work when competing in a price-driven marketplace in today’s global economy. Caslione’s Value-Added Strategies™ are used by Fortune 500’s and is one of Caslione’s most requested Global Business Keynotes for Sales Management teams.
