See keynotes with John RossmanBIG BETS happen at all levels in a company – the enterprise, division, product, program, and team. BIG BETS are the initiatives and plans we think will deliver lasting impact, but there is significant risk as these are complex strategies and plans. They are a BIG BET.

Based on research and 35 years of delivering BIG BETS to Fortune 100 companies, John Rossman gives you a playbook for Thinking in Outcomes to succeed at your BIG BETS. Based on his forthcoming book Thinking in Outcomes.

The team loved John’s keynote, were busy taking notes and discussed through the rest of our leadership retreat. They all really got to think at a higher level!
Having John advise my organization is like having Jeff Bezos advise me. This is the best strategy, leadership, and tactics keynote I have seen. John has had a profound impact on the company I founded, Modjoul. John’s a master at practical advice and approaches to deliver innovative solutions.
The Amazon story is so relevant to what every company is trying to accomplish, and CCOs are seeking new ways to work effectively across the CSuite in this time of corporate transformation. A good story well told.
