The Phoenix Principle

Why some companies will succeed and others won't.
How you can predict your client's success and steer them in the right direction.

Adam HartungChapter Meeting Friday,
May 12, 2006 - at 7:30 AM

What works today may not work tomorrow. Over 60% of the Fortune 500 from 20 years ago are no longer around! Of the top companies from 100 years ago, only one still exists.

After 6 years of research, including over 400 case studies, Adam Hartung wrote "The Phoenix Principle" to provide a framework for understanding and predicting success--or lack thereof. We can now better understand what behavior leads to successful results and what causes businesses and individuals to fall short. This session will apply The Phoenix Principle specifically to help us guide our clients to better performance, whether working in start-up environments or in large-cap companies.

Attend this session and take away a framework to help understand behavior and predict future success. Practiced and applied, this framework can help raise client profit returns as well as improve our understanding of management long before it impacts valuation.

"The Phoenix Principle", with a forward by Tom Peters, is being published by Prentice Hall, with expected release late 2006 or early 2007. www.ThePhoenixPrinciple.com

Adam is a 1982 Harvard Business School alum. He has consulted at Boston Consulting Group, Coopers & Lybrand and CSC Index. Adam also served as an executive at PepsiCo and DuPont. He has successfully started a company and been a successful angel investor in three enterprises. "The Phoenix Principle" is based upon these experiences and his research to explain what leads to successful results - and what doesn't. With this knowledge we can improve our odds of success.

Adam now works as an independent consultant, delivering projects, workshops and presentations helping organizations improve their odds of achieving long-term success.
