Join Jump for a workshop breaking down strategic financial planning and budgeting alongside operating frameworks. 

We’ve packed a lot into this 75-minute workshop, dividing it into two 30-minute halves covering strategic financial planning and budgeting and implementing performance-driven operating frameworks and cultures. We've also reserved 15 minutes for Q&A with our expert speakers.

First Half: Planning for the Punches (30 mins)

"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth." Startups should take Mike Tyson’s words to heart and plan for uncertainty. In this session, we'll cover building strategic plans that can weather unexpected blows, including:

Guest speakers Jeffrey Chalmers of Sight Machine and Jonathan Grant of Osano share their experiences.

Second Half: Operating Systems for Performance (30 mins)

Startups often grow so quickly that organizing operating processes gets overlooked. In this session, we’ll explore the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) for creating a performance-based culture.

Guest speaker Luigi Testa of LinkSquares discusses insights from his experience implementing EOS.

Strategic planning what-not-to-do's and operating systems

Your overwhelmingly positive feedback fueled the creation of a dedicated, regularly scheduled Talent Strategy Series, where we provide the space for founders to hop on and discuss the sensitive topics they can't necessarily discuss elsewhere among peers. 

This time we'll start the session a little earlier in deference to the fact that your days go sideways fast. 

As a reminder, to provide programming with impact, this workshop lasts ~60 minutes and begins at 9:00 am CT - allowing you to grab the coffee you need before settling in to talk about the talent topics that are top of mind for you this time of year. 

The workshop is not recorded out of respect for all attendees' willingness to speak with candor. 

Founder Talent Strategy Session

Your overwhelmingly positive feedback set the stage for the return of the talent strategy session as a regularly scheduled series bringing together talent leaders to discuss and work through the sensitive topics they're navigating in a safe community setting. 

As a reminder, to provide programming with impact, this workshop lasts ~90 minutes and begins at 8:30 am CT - allowing you to grab the coffee you need before settling in to talk about the talent topics that are top of mind for you this time of year. 

This time around, we're cutting back on the number of topics and lengthening talk time so we can dive deeper into the issues living rent-free in your heads.
