“I had the privilege of supplying IT consulting & placement services for Steve when he assumed the role of CIO/CDO/CAO at a national, multi-location, PE-backed healthcare company in 2019. From our initial meeting, it was clear that Steve had a well-planned vision aimed at enhancing IT service delivery, particularly relating to technology infrastructure, data analytics, and end-user support. He set forth clear expectations for our partnership, maintaining transparency about his resource plan, onboarding cadence, budget, and desired performance outcomes. Despite encountering significant organizational changes and unprecedented market conditions, I observed Steve navigate these challenges with a calculated, reassuring focus on solving problems and moving forward diplomatically. Collaborating with Steve and his team was among the most fulfilling experiences of my career. Any supplier fortunate enough to work with Steve will undoubtedly appreciate his commitment to fostering genuine partnerships.”

You're faced with a client crisis and executive team duties. How do you manage both remotely?
Revenue first, cost second. Keep customers operational and competitive—they'll be happy and refer your firm to others. Internal stakeholders should recognize the focus on revenue, but the focus on operational excellence should not be sacrificed.

Make It In Illinois
🏗️ Illinois Manufacturing: Driving Innovation and Economic Growth In a recent interview, Kristin Richards, Director of the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO), outlined how Illinois is cementing its position as a top destination for manufacturing investment and expansion. Key advantages for manufacturers in Illinois: Skilled Workforce: With 664 nationally ranked public high schools and the third-largest community college system in the country, Illinois cultivates talent from "cradle to career." Strategic Location: As Richards notes, "Illinois is in the middle of everything," offering unparalleled access to markets through its robust transportation networks. Targeted Incentives: Programs like EDGE, REV, and MICRO are tailored to support manufacturers, including those in emerging technologies. Supply Chain Strength: A diverse landscape of skilled suppliers reduces costs and helps companies meet timelines. Innovation Support: Extended R&D tax credits and programs like the new Illinois Innovation Venture Fund (INVENT) underscore the state's commitment to keeping manufacturers at the cutting edge. Richards emphasizes, "Companies frequently comment on how this Team Illinois unity, welcoming collaboration and nonstop commitment to project success, led them to a pro-Illinois decision." Discover why more manufacturers are choosing to #makeitinillinois.

Harvard Business Review's analysis on power dynamics in executive succession emphasizes the critical interplay of organizational politics and stakeholder relationships. A successful transition necessitates a nuanced approach, where the successor must deftly honor the legacy of their predecessor while forging meaningful connections within the network. It is a stark reminder: technical proficiency alone does not make a leader - the mastery of soft power is essential for those aspiring to lead. #Leadership #Succession #IndustryInsights #CEO

Business Leaders For Michigan
Three-quarters of Michigan’s top executives expect the state’s economy to stay stable over the next six months and more than half expect revenues to grow, according to new survey results. Long-term growth will require more work to overcome slow population and economic growth, increasing costs, state policies and talent shortages.
