What Would Belichick Say?

By Nicsa posted Dec 10, 2019

“To live in the past is to die in the present.” Hey, if the motto is good enough for Bill Belichick, it’s good enough for me. Team loyalties aside, I think we can all agree that victory in business (as it is on the field) requires leaders who are change agents that promote teamwork and an unrelenting desire to persevere.

A company’s ability to adapt quickly and turn learning into action can translate into a meaningful competitive advantage.

Change management is no longer limited to operational improvements, process re-engineering, and cost efficiencies. It’s pretty much the new normal for leadership successand has become interwoven into ouroverall industryfabric.

What are the catalysts for radical re-evaluation of share class offerings, product distributiondata analytics, and compliance reporting? How do executives manage the overall big picture while staying focused on the taskof the day?

Learning how to be a change agent starts with good change management. Belichick would say: “Do your job.For asset managers, that starts with staying informed, collaborating with peers, and constantly adjusting the playbook.I hope you can join me for an interactive discussion with these influential executives as we tackle the issues so relevant to our industry today.
