Studies)(Nasdaq: RNOW - News) today announced its CEO and founder Greg Gianforte will address the Forbes CEO Forum 2005, which is being held September 19-21 at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Michigan. Gianforte will be leading a panel discussion on the "Purpose-Driven Company."
Recent research suggests that customers and employees are looking for more than just the best financial deal. They want the companies they do business with and work for to be imbued with purpose and meaning. These purpose-driven companies are able to compete more successfully because employees are better unified and have a higher purpose.
"People buy on more than just price, and they work for more than just a paycheck," Gianforte said. "Companies that understand how higher purposes can motivate and define both human beings and business organizations have consistently demonstrated their ability to survive and thrive in markets that stump their competitors."
The theme of this year's conference is "Mastering Instability." Other speakers at the event will include the Honorable George Bush, 41st President of the United States of America; Steve Forbes, President and CEO of Forbes Inc.; Donald Straszheim, former Chief Economist at Merrill Lynch; and the Honorable Jennifer Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan.
