Inside the Fall 2015 Issue:

In many ways, the Bay Area is a snapshot of the future, and the intensity of competition for crucial employees could very likely become a nationwide problem.

Learn how Alliance members, John Curcio, Sheeroy Desai, Ted Elliott, Doug Dooley, Clint Ramsey and Walter Moos, focus on local efforts to conserve crucial employees, and create strategic plans to improve recruitment and retention initiatives.
Alliance Community Activities
Recent Alliance CEO Community Activities included a variety of events such as: an Alliance Roundtable in which Alliance member, Jorge Titinger, President & CEO of SGI, discussed how to shift a business’ goal from simply surviving to a commitment of winning, our quarterly Life Sciences Roundtable meeting, and Keynote discussions with Liz Wiseman, President of The Wiseman Group, on the advantages of approaching new situations as a rookie to bolster creativity, passion and effectiveness, and EDIT Founder and Author, Matt May, who discussed seven key obstacles to elegant solutions, what he called the seven deadly thinking sins.
