Introduction to "Work in Progress"

Why are some people and some companies highly successful, while most are not? We think that it is due in some part by connections, collaboration, and communication.

How can companies perform so well that their industry counterparts are competitors in name only? Although they operate in the same industry, serve the same market, and even use the same suppliers, there are higher-performing rabbits, so to speak, who lead the race and, more importantly, continually widen their lead.

Who are the extraordinary people, what do they do, and why?

Who are the best organizations that get things done and achieve extraordinary results? What similar challenges do they face?  What are they doing wrong?

Why are some regions or countries better than others?

What could we do to improve the longevity of our planet?

What can we do for the membership of Colorado Business Roundtable to add value to the time, sponsorship and ideological support you offer? 

This newsletter is entitled, "Work in Progress" because we are asking for your help in gathering ideas and identifying interesting people and success stories. We believe that this will help us make this newsletter better over time and increase value to your networks. We not only have the ability to conduct database searches and a review of relevant literature, such as journal articles and position papers. We also have the ability to interview for our own media outlets, which include radio, magazine, and now, this weekly e-newsletter. 

Our goal is to create dynamic cooperation, partnerships and assistance among individuals, businesses, communities, governmental bodies and educational organizations to help foster growth and change.  We want to:

  • Connect cutting-edge and world-class organizations, both here and abroad, to help with long-term competitive efforts.
  • Make a genuine difference in the lives of colleagues, friends and customers.
  • Connect higher education institutions to promote mutual understanding and provide a forum for the intellectual exchange of ideas.
  • Create opportunities through programs, seminars, study visits and guest lectureships where our partners teach theory and practice. 
  • Pull people, information and resources together to create opportunities to raise our combined success.

In our opinion, this is your weekly newsletter -- everyone contributes and everyone benefits. Everyone has a stake in the collective success of this venture. Our culture thrives on shared knowledge, and we believe that the power of many minds with a shared vision and common commitment will result in positive change on all levels.

Thank you for your continued support as we take COBRT and our media to the next level.

Who are the brave leaders who will risk it all and never give up?

Making these kinds of inquiries on a regular basis, challenging accepted perceptions with brave questions and even braver answers, helps us all.
