Upcoming Meeting
FRIDAY, November 1, 2019
Opening Discussion Topic:
Gaining Competitive Advantage With Analytics, How?
As we discussed last month in our 2020 Competitive Outlook, most “Breakaway Companies” are scaling their analytics to outperform competitors.
The majority of today’s midsize and larger companies are already using Marketing Automation Software such as HubSpot, Pardot, Marketo, etc., which are essentially robotic process automation (RPA) tools. And now top management in all competitive industries are exploring RPA to enable new, more responsive, and lower cost:
- service-oriented value propositions
- supply chain & production management systems, and
- other elements of their business processes
Following our brief presentation about some of the more generally useful resources available to understand and apply RPA effectively, Members will update us on how they, and their competitors, are more effectively gaining competitive advantage by leveraging RPA in their businesses. And, if they’re not, if and how they plan to deploy it!
As always, we’ll look to hear and discuss, “What’s Keeping You Up Nights?”
We’ll also be serving as Strategic Advisory Board Members to our Featured Member Presenter: Joe Rogers, CEO of WorkDone
WorkDone’s convergence of machine learning, business process management, content analytics, and blockchain brings to life the promise of AI in the workplace. They enable organizations to seamlessly automate business processes between major SaaS platforms (Office 365, Salesforce, NetSuite, etc.) with no user training or programming required. The company’s patent-pending Expertise Capture technology automates repetitive human-intensive tasks and creates reusable agents that are constantly being improved through learning without programming. This automation can be made available to the public through an open agent marketplace. By linking interoperable agents, WorkDone seamlessly creates systems of intelligence preserving the corporate memory. Consequently, no institutional knowledge is lost when employees leave the company. Agents can also function as testers and trainers to assist workers in completing tasks, freeing them up to do more satisfying and higher value work..

"I probably would have to pay 16 consultants to get the kind of great information I get from the Round Tables and the people in my group."
"ABL has been a great pay-off for me and I have found great value. It has brought me help in financing the company, resolving financial issues, and customer problems. And it’s served for personal growth, too."
"ABL is the best business meeting series I have ever attended. It is a professional organization for CEOs and Presidents, where the Members bring the real day to day business cases to the meeting and share opinions and solutions. I do my best to participate every meeting I can."
"The big thing that ABL provides to us is that it’s companies of like interests, as opposed to other types of groups that have CEOs with maybe very divergent interests."
"The best thing for me about ABL are the great people in the Organization. It’s a caring group of people, they are very open in sharing their own problems, and that leads to an environment where you can share your problems back. And they’re non-judgmental. They’ll give you the best advise they can. You can take it or not."
