Discussion Topic:

Key Issues In Planning for 2025?

What was, or will be, your organization’s process for planning for 2025?

In your current opinion, which of these considerations will be the most important?

• Your current Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, & Threats?
• Your customers’ concerns and their likely responses?
• Your competitors’ current and likely activities?
• Major trends having the most impact on your marketplace (Such as A I, availability of necessary employee and organizational skills, employee motivation, collaboration & work environment issues)?
• The likely political and economic outlook?
• New ways to develop competitive advantages?

We’ll have a brief presentation regarding some various approaches to the above, and then participants will share and discuss how they have approached, or are planning to approach, their organizations planning for 2025.

For our discussion, members will share and discuss:

• An overview of their annual planning process
• What they see as the 2-3 most important issues for their organization in planning for 2025
• Their expectations as to whether 2025 will see revenue growth, or shrinkage, and by how much, or that they expect similar results to this year.

As always, we’ll look to hear and discuss “What’s Keeping You Up Nights?” and we’ll also serve as Strategic Advisory Board Members to John Tanner, as he makes his Featured Member Presentation.

John Tanner, Ph.D., is CEO of Tanner Research, Inc., which is among only a handful of companies to be named to the “LA Fast 50” five years in a row. After spinning off its Electronic Design Automation (EDA) software division to Mentor Graphics, in 2015, Tanner Research still performs advanced electronic R&D under government DoD contracts. Areas of emphasis include MEMS (micro‐machine) design, fixed-wing drone aircraft, and agriculture robotics. In October 2009, John suffered an unexpected, sudden cardiac arrest. Against long odds, John survived, recovered, and began learning about the causes, prevention, and reversal of this nation’s leading killer. Since then, he has incorporated what he learned into a non‐profit organization he founded – NuSci, The Nutrition Science Foundation (www.NuSci.org) – which through vetted information, lectures, and recipes, promotes the prevention of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer, and more, through proper nutrition. John has also started a healthy food delivery business under the name Little Green Forks (www.littlegreenforks.com).
