Seminar Description:
Most landscape, design-build, irrigation, tree care, and outdoor living companies don’t struggle because of a lack of work. They struggle because the business itself is not designed and managed to scale.
Owners become the bottleneck.
Teams work hard but lack clear direction, and performance metrics.
Growth creates complexity instead of value.
The companies that break through these barriers run their businesses differently. They manage the company through a small set of critical functions and measurable key performance indicators (KPI’s) that drive productivity, profitability, accountability, leadership development, and long-term company value.
In this immersive and deep dive session, Judith Guido, Green Industry Hall of Famer and industry growth strategist, shares the 8 essential functions that every successful green company must master, along with the key performance indicators (KPIs) that allow owners and teams to scale their businesses, attract, retain and reward top talent, and build companies that command premium valuations.
Drawing on 30 years of experience helping green industry companies grow, scale, and involvement in more than 100mergers, acquisitions and sales, this session provides a practical framework and roadmap that works whether you are:
• starting your company
• scaling through the messy middle-stage of business
• building leadership and systems
• preparing for succession, exiting or acquisition
Participants will leave with a clear understanding, blueprint and associated key metrics for running a high-performance company that reduces chaos, increases accountability, and turns a busy operation into a predictable, profitable, and highly valued company.
