Members of the Golden Gate BPO team took some time to attend Inc. Magazine’s GrowCo 2016 Conference in Las Vegas. GrowCo is a three-day event for entrepreneurs and business leaders who want to achieve sizable growth within their organizations. The conference brings together a dynamic program featuring headliners straight out of the pages of Inc., business experts, and best-selling authors who share actionable information and proven strategies on all facets of growing companies.
According to Stephen Ferber, CEO of Golden Gate BPO Solutions, “after submitting our application to Inc. Magazine earlier this year with the hope of making the Inc. 5000 list for 2016, we began to realize the tremendous resources made available by Inc., beyond their leading publication for entrepreneurs. So, we decided to attend the conference to meet fellow entrepreneurs from a wide array of industries and at all different stages of their adventures. We all walked away with some fresh inspiration and ideas, tremendous experiences, new relationships and a healthy questioning of how we can do things better at Golden Gate BPO as we continue to grow.”
Stuart Cranston, SVP & Managing Director, LACAR Region, added, “the knowledge-share in the areas of leadership and creating a company culture built for growth and success were fantastic. In addition, the discussions surrounding technology, innovation and disruption were so useful and provided us with some immediate takeaways that we can begin to implement into our business.”
The session themes for GrowCo 2016 focused on (1) Vision and Launch, (2) Culture and Leadership, (3) Tech and Innovation and (4) Money and Profit.
