While on the trip to Spanish Fork to see Spectrum fly I met a very nice man named Dave Duval who invited me to attend The Chairmen’s RoundTable. The meeting took place yesterday in San Diego. The basic premise is that a group of highly experienced business leaders provides free mentoring, as a way of helping out the community, to young organizations seeking advice . The group is quite impressive. During the meeting three companies’s made brief presentations and garnered feedback. The process seems to be working well due to the fact that all the company’s that make it through the process are doing significantly better than they were prior to meeting with the RoundTable.
The three companies’ that presented are:
Ranch & Coast, a luxury lifestyle magazine targeting 35,000 copies each month to the affluent north coastal communities of San Diego. Each month readers are kept abreast of what’s taking place in their world.
Design Scape, an on-line landscape design company who uses a template process to designers nationwide. The company is in the process of rapid growth thanks to the great advice from RoundTable.
IntelliTouch is a company that offers a wide variety of innovative communication products. What I found interesting with this company is that it actually has been around for 17 years as a successful music-on-hold business. The founders made a wise choice when they sought out a new management team capable of identifying and exploiting new markets.
The three presentations were all interesting but I think the winner is DesignScape due to the leverage they can get from technology and some of their eminent business partners.
