Last week, along with four other sponsors, I hosted the Rebound Roundtable. This is an idea I had to bring CEOs together to discuss strategies to take advantage of, as the economy bounces back.

 

I had the pleasure to both host and moderate along with four other experts. They included: Keith Cole, President and CFO, Delcor USA; Ken Jones, Director, Center for Entrepreneurship, University of Houston Downtown; Vince Foster, Chairman of the Board and CEO, Main Street Capital Corporation; and Curtis Brown, CEO, Rimkus Consulting Group.

 

During the roundtable, I was able to ask them questions regarding tactics they are currently using and foresee to use as the economy rebounds. To understand their strategic positions, we covered various topics including sales and marketing, human resources and technology. Also, many discussions focused on hiring and cost-cutting strategies for 2010.

 

The roundtable was transcribed and will be presented in the December 18^th issue of the Houston Business Journal. This supplement will contain numerous resources for businesses next year. Included will be articles with tips and pointers specifically for businesses on their path to recovery offered by the event’s sponsors: Sandler Sales Institute, PKF, Sterling Bank and Pierpont.

 

Our submission will include an article authored by our very own Brian Block about why businesses should be interested in social media.
