Beating the natural life cycle of organizations is tough. Of America's 100 biggest companies in 1900 only 16 are still in business! In the beginning, the entrepreneurial spirit fuels the start-up and creates high growth. Growth brings size and the passage of time brings new leaders. These shifts in size and leadership produce a new set of objectives. Planning, streamlining and controlling the enterprise become the new order. Managing this and that become more important than making this and selling that. Meetings, reports, and self-perpetuating bureaucracy erupt on every front. Decline sets in and, unchecked, you're on your way to demise. The only way to fix this mess is to start over with the entrepreneurial basics - the real practices of real builders of business like: Matsushita, Honda, Lever, Branson, Watson, Disney, Walton and Jobs. If you're looking for the bedrock fundamentals of high-growth enterprise, look no further. The key to growth in the hyper-competitive 21st century will be old-fashioned entrepreneurship!

THE SPIRIT OF ENTERPRISE SEMINAR
Lessons in” Corporate Entrepreneurship”

 From The World’s Great Entrepreneurs And Their High Growth Companies

Our most widely used program, The Spirit Of Enterprise (SOE) Seminar has two overriding goals: That participants learn and start using entrepreneurial basics in their jobs. The rationale is that building and growing a business is very different from managing a business. The seminar offers participants a unique grounding in the bedrock fundamentals of high-growth enterprise.

Entrepreneurial behavior is distilled into a series of business practices that any employee in any company can use. To insure the objective of instilling these practices back on the job, over half the session is devoted to the 14 Application exercises. The Applications ultimately represent participant commitments to raise their individual spirit of enterprise and the company's overall competitiveness. At the close, all the team Applications are collected and delivered to senior management for implementation follow-up. In addition each participant is asked to personally commit to implementing the five highest impact entrepreneurial actions within his/her own area of responsibility the first week back on the job.

* All participant materials including The New Entrepreneurial Age book, are provided.
* The seminar is designed as a full two day session. However, a one-day version is available. We recommend the two day
version for all clients who can manage the extended schedule. The trade off is the amount of time available for each team's
Application discussions and presentations to the full group.
