The leaders of growing small and mid-sized companies confront the constant challenge of “doing more” with constrained resources in the face of increasing competition. The Business Owners Forum was formed by SCORE Greater Phoenix to address these strategic issues in a peer group setting. The members of the Forums are passionate about improving the performance of their businesses through shared experiences and knowledge. Each Business Owners Forum group is comprised of 10 - 12 executives from non-competing businesses who meet monthly as an ongoing team.
The Business Owners Forum program includes the monthly, 1.5-hour problem-solving and discussion meeting which is facilitated by two SCORE meeting leaders. Each forum is an opportunity for the group to work through their specific business issues using a proven process.
The Business Owners Forum meetings are facilitated by SCORE meeting leaders who become integral members of each group. The backgrounds of these leaders include retired senior executives from Fortune 500 companies as well as entrepreneurs who have launched, bought, and sold businesses.
