Joe Hahn returns to present on Monday, February 24th—continuing our partnership with The National Association of Manufacturers.

At The NAM Board of Directors Meeting in 2024, Joe Hahn presented Vision: Manufacturing a Better World. The President and CEO of The National Association of Manufacturers, Jay Timmons said, “I have heard nothing but rave reviews about Strategex’s session. The NAM is grateful for the partnership with Strategex.” This year he returns to discuss manufacturing's latest trend, transformation. In this session, Joe will examine the challenge and importance of strategic transformation. The audience can expect Joe to present in his uniquely engaging way, drawing on his vast experience with company transformation and hands-on experience with people who have had the Chief Transformation Officer role.

About Strategic Transformation: Coming Soon to a Company Near You

The role of Chief Transformation Officer (CTO) is gaining prominence in the C-Suite. Transformation is all about turning a company into something different and much greater, rather than just the best version of itself—an endeavor that's both challenging and crucial. Recognizing this, more CEOs are bringing in top talent for the position, fully dedicated to the cause.

But what is “transformation,” really? What is the objective? How do we achieve that? In this session, Joe Hahn returns to address these questions, drawing on decades of experience with company transformation for multi-billion dollar manufacturing companies.
