Tuesday, January 27, 2015: De-Risking Big Attempts at Growth: Make It Mighty – Webinar @ 10:00am – 11:00am PST

In Mighty Midsized Companies, a new book by Robert Sher, Chapter 3 focuses on how to avoid making reckless attempts at growth. In the effort to scale, organizations face increased risk and expense. If the attempt at growth costs too much and the revenue doesn’t match the expense, growth won’t materialize, but a cash crunch will. Signs of this killer are big campaigns with heavy investment that often fail because of poor execution, a poor response from the market, and poor forecasting. This webinar is interactive, with live polling and audience questions (via typing) which Rob and his guest, Rick Martig will answer during the session.  No cost.

Thursday, December 18, 2014: Webinar. Running out of cash will kill your growth.  Learn to avoid it or survive it.

In Mighty Midsized Companies, a new book by Robert Sher, Chapter 6 focuses on how to prevent or survive a liquidity crash-when a midsized company runs out of cash. This can happen when there is a sudden drop in business, or when a business grows rapidly (absorbing cash into the balance sheet). Author Robert Sher will deliver a fast overview of the book, then interview Dennis Heath, CEO of MBH Architects, the company that illustrates Chapter 6 and that survived an 84% drop in sales in three months during 2008.
