SUMMARY:What CEOs\, CCOs\, and CXOs Should Know Before Hiring Another BD Team
DESCRIPTION:Register Here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/what-ceos-ccos-and-cxos-should-know-before-hiring-another-bd-team-tickets-2003936345554?aff=ebdsoporgprofile Overview Before you hire another BD person\, find out whether the real problem is your team\, your strategy\, or the commercial system behind both.

The founder who is still personally carrying too many relationships. The leadership team considering another BD hire because they know something needs to change. Before you write the job description\, we need to talk. Because we see industrial and oil and gas companies hire talented business development professionals and put them into situations where they were never set up to win. They are told: “Go find business.” But who exactly are they supposed to target? Which accounts matter most? What problems are those customers trying to solve? How is the company positioned? What makes the company different? Which relationships already exist? Who… \nSource and tickets: https://iondistrict.com/event/what-ceos-ccos-and-cxos-should-know-before-hiring-another-bd-team/

SUMMARY:Houston Speed Networking | NetworkNite | Business Professionals Event

A structured opportunity to meet accomplished professionals just like yourself\, face to face\, one business professional at time. Whether you are an entrepreneur\, small business owner\, legal or medical professional\, in the finance\, real estate or entertainment industry – our events offer the perfect occasion to expand your business\, social or enterprise contacts. All in a setting and speed – just your style. Devoid of typical business networking event staples – we have done away with whistles\, bells and over-the-top event trimmings. We feel building business relationships should be a comfortable\, sophisticated and relaxed venture. An opportunity to create opportunities. Our hosts will assist you with your NetworkNite ‘Connect-Card’. After being shown to your table\, you will move from business professional to business professional every 5-6 minutes. Simply mark down whom you would be interested in connecting with again on your NetworkNite ‘Connect-Card’ and we’ll take care of the rest. You also always have the option of exchanging business cards should you feel so inclined. For those whom garner connections\, you will be notified via e-mail within 24 hours of the event with your ‘Connect-Card’ results. Once the Speed Networking has completed and all participants have had the opportunity to meet each other – you are welcome to stay and mingle. All we need are the ‘Connect-Cards’ to determine your business connections. \nSource and tickets: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/houston-speed-networking-networknite-business-professionals-event-tickets-2003894300797

SUMMARY:EOS Workshop: Get a Grip on Your Business
DESCRIPTION:Register Here: https://www.craigceccanti.com/eos-workshop/ Are you running your business\, or is it running you? This free\, hands-on workshop for owners of growing companies is a three-hour working session built around EOS\, the Entrepreneurial Operating System\, which more than 30\,000 companies worldwide use. You’ll apply one tool from each of EOS’s Six Key Components (Vision\, People\, Data\, Issues\, Process and Traction) to your own business\, right in the room. You’ll leave with a first draft of your company’s plan and a clear list of what to do in the next seven days. A workbook covering every tool is provided\, so bring a pen and honest answers about your business. The workshop is led by Craig Ceccanti\, a Professional EOS Implementer and adjunct professor at Rice. He grew Pinot’s Palette from one Houston studio to more than 150 locations and has held both the Visionary and Integrator seats. Who it’s for: Owners and leaders (CEO\, COO\, CFO\, President) of for-profit companies with roughly 10 to 250 people. You should already know what you sell\, with the hard part now being people\, priorities\, and growth. It’s probably not the right fit if you’re still validating an idea or are a team of one or two. Bring your leadership partner: The best version of this morning is a Visionary and Integrator at the same table. Up to 2 people per company can attend\, and each submits a separate application. How to join: Apply (about three minutes)\, have a quick call with Craig\, then get your confirmation. Applications are reviewed as they come in. Apply by November 6 for the best shot at a seat. Friday\, November 20\, 9:00 AM to noon Seats are limited and an application is required.

SUMMARY:Mapping Houston’s Innovation Ecosystem
DESCRIPTION:Facilitated by Wade Pinder\, Ion’s Mentor in Residence Houston’s startup and innovation ecosystem is as vast and dynamic as the city itself\, full of opportunities\, resources\, and talent. Yet\, navigating it can be challenging—especially for those unfamiliar with its many parts. Whether you’re an entrepreneur\, investor\, educator\, student\, community leader or curious professional\, this session will offer valuable insights into how Houston’s innovation ecosystem works and how you can find your place within it. Discover the Houston Ecosystem’s Flow Facilitated by Wade Pinder\, the Ion’s Mentor in Residence\, this session will help participants map out the journey needed to take an idea from concept to a mature company. Wade brings years of experience in product management\, community building\, and mentoring entrepreneurs to the table\, offering a thoughtful and informed perspective to guide this exploration. The heart of the session lies in exploring a dynamic mind map that Wade has created and continues to refine—an ever-evolving\, community-driven tool that grows alongside Houston’s innovation ecosystem. Attendees will not only learn about the ecosystem’s flow but also have the opportunity to contribute to it by identifying gaps\, sharing knowledge\, and adding their insights. This session will center on the stages of a company’s growth journey\, exploring the essential elements that drive it forward. Participants will examine the role of financial capital\, from early fundraising efforts to securing the resources needed for scaling\, and how these milestones align with a company’s progression. The discussion will also delve into the human element of growing a business\, highlighting the evolving talent and expertise required to navigate the entrepreneurial journey. Additionally\, we’ll explore the importance of “social capital”—the networks\, support systems\, and relationships that play a critical role in moving ideas to market and sustaining long-term growth.
