The most challenging thing for any entrepreneur is knowing when to quit, when to continue and how to prepare for the next generation of leadership in a company. The Meet Ben guest speaker, Debra Thompson, founded Strategy Solutions in 1998 and is committed to fostering thriving communities. With a focus on developing innovative solutions that promote long-term sustainability, Strategy Solutions approach combines advanced analytical research capabilities, dynamic group process techniques, industry best practices, and cutting-edge planning tools.
During the next (and FINAL) Meet Ben, Debra and her colleagues will lay out a plan for succession planning and how every entrepreneur (those that are just starting and those that have been running their company for generations) can take advantage of long-term thinking and planning and how to set up the next generations of leaders for success.
