Toby Joplin on a Simple Model

Business Strategy for Future Success!

About the Program:

How is 2024 going to be better for your business than 2023? If we keep on doing what we have always done, we will keep getting what we have previously got – only if we are lucky! Retailers like Sears & Roebuck, Blockbuster, Radio Shack and many others have proven that past success is no guarantee of future success, regardless of the size of your business. And if we want better results in the future, we need to change what we are currently doing. It would sure help if we knew what the future holds. The best way to predict the future is to create it. While some things like the economy and interest rates are outside of our control, we have much more influence and agency over our future results than we realize. Would you like to know how to improve the results from your business in 2024?

At the Chamber After-hours on October 12th, Dr. Toby Joplin, who teaches the capstone business strategy course at the University of Tulsa and is the founder of the Joplin Consulting Group will explain a simple plan to help your business achieve its goals in 2024. Dr Joplin has been helping companies be more successful for over 25 years. He has helped companies from Kansas City to Fort Worth. He has helped companies from as small as start-ups to as large as $15 Billion in annual revenues – and nonprofit organizations too. (Your company’s revenues probably fall somewhere between $0 and $15 Billion.) Dr Joplin can help you too. On October 12th, Dr J, as he is affectionately referred by his students, will explain a simple model that you can follow to make 2024 your best year ever.

We hope to see you there!
