You’ll learn the various application valuation theories and then construct your own, using our template, while we watch and guide you. We’ll talk about what a valuation says about your firm and how looking at it from the outside gives you a more objective view of your performance and how to fix it with very specific strategies designed to increase its future value and your present enjoyment (one of the few times you can have your cake and eat it too). We’ll look at the eight transition options you’ll be able to choose from, and then we’ll take a much closer look at the three that deserve a closer look: merging, sale to keep employee(s), and being acquired by a larger entity. We’ll then discuss making partnerships work well and then wrap by revisiting an important philosophical outlook.

By the end of the day you’ll have a fairly complete manual that should arm you for years to come, all while applying it specifically to your own situation in a helpful, interesting environment.]]> Sat, 26 Jul 2008 15:52:46 -0400 http://recourses.com/contentmgr/showdetails.php/id/1126 http://feeds.recourses.com/~r/RecoursesRssFeed/~3/296803683/1128 With one-third of the content new this year, this one-day ReCourses seminar was developed especially for principals, operations managers, and controllers in marketing firms (advertising, design, interactive, and public realtions), and it is crafted to cover everything about the numbers side of running a firm well.

We’ll teach you how to measure utilization (billable efficiency) and how to fix any gaps that the analysis reveals. We’ll look at taxes, legal structure, retirement, insurance, funding growth, employee benefits, open book management, collections, and navigating a downturn.

We’ll look at the intricacies of managing, of rewarding, and even dismissing that occasional bad choice. Finally, we’ll look at building a culture and preserving it, applying the best leadership principles over time.

We'll look at who managers are and how to become one, whether or not you were promoted for the right reason, how to start off right, what you'll discover early on, and understanding the different kinds of managers. We'll also examine how to be effective by assembling the right team, being the kind of leader others want to follow, and how to take advantage of your own management style. Finally, we'll explain the transitions you'll want to make to be effective.
