XYPN PAUSE Business Strategy Summit

PAUSE 2020

Calling all PAUSE or Xcelerate attendees past and present! Spend a full day before #XYPNLIVE creating your action plan to take the next steps with your business. 

In this full-day, in-person event we’ll review the tools you created in XYPN PAUSE or Xcelerate. Hear from experts in human resources, firm valuation, and firm finances on how to go from the theory and diagnosis to implementing your plans for your firm.

  • Review what they’ve created in the previous 24 weeks (or previous iterations of PAUSE or Xcelerate) with a fresh view of transitioning their blueprint into concrete action.
  • Create a plan to reuse the skills and tools they have acquired through PAUSE or Xcelerate.
