Bringing industry leaders together is a powerful way to drive growth and innovation 🚀 When we gather with an open and honest mindset, it fosters collaboration that goes beyond surface-level networking. It creates an environment where leaders can discuss their shared challenges and build strategies that truly move the needle. 💡🤝 At our recent event hosted by Shane Mc Hugh, we saw the strength of integrated mindsets and the commitment of leaders across the industry to work cross-functionally.

Her perspective was an incredible addition to the conversation! 🙌 Here’s to many more engaging events that bring us together to grow, learn, and achieve even greater success as a community.

About Young Bled Strategic Forum!

I'm furious! I've wasted so much of my life at conferences that just don't deliver, but I'm particularly irate about one particular part....the Panel discussion/Fireside chat! There is so much wrong with this format but here are my top 3 that could change them into something useful. 1) Stick to the title topic I've come to hear about the topic, not about what your company does or your products. This is not an ordinary sales pitch, get it right and I'll come find you. 2) Little or no insight I've literally spent 40 mins at one of these about #sustainable innovation trends to hear the top (and only) tip..."turn your lights off when you leave". I don't want to hear about your KPIs or your other TLAs (Three Letter Acronyms)...I want your insight 3) Sycophantic agreeing amongst panel members and the host When we all agree, all the time, we move forward very little and nothing is added to our body of knowledge...and hosts...please challenge the panel members a little more. Maybe this is a panel selection issue!! Could I do better? Honestly I'd like to think so but I don't know. I'm up for the challenge if anyone needs a disruptive force at your next food and beverage panel event.
