The Strategic Perspective
Is This You?
September 2004
SSG President/Senior Counsel Art Stewart will conduct an IdeaLab for the Great Ideas national conference of the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) and the Center for Association Leadership at the Disney Coronado Springs Hotel in Orlando this December, and again at the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass in Phoenix next February.
Art will co-present with Jamie Notter, President of Notter Consulting, Gaithersburg, MD, on "When Accountability Creates Opportunity: Redefining Association Value."
In the new post 9-11 reality, associations are confronting challenges to their effectiveness and their ability to sustain success. They are being held more accountable for their delivery of value across the spectrum of stakeholders, from direct members to the industry they represent and the constituencies served by their members.
Association leaders who want to capture the emerging possibilities for growth and sustainability are now looking to recast their concept of value. They are reconstituting their core mission, its supporting business strategy, and the value deliverables that stakeholders consider a good return on investment.
Art and Jamie's Great Ideas IdeaLab will examine the market forces at play in business, industry, the professions and public policy in the context of how they are changing the very nature of association-stakeholder relationships. Participants will gain a framework for discovering and delivering a new concept of value, and how to link external actions with the internal structures and behaviors needed to bring about transformation.
