Strategex's Joe Hahn to Address The National Association of Manufacturer's Board of Directors


Back by popular demand, Joe Hahn—one of the most influential 80/20 Experts—will present Vision: Manufacturing a Better World on Monday, February 26th.

At The NAM Board of Directors Meeting in 2023, Joe Hahn joined a prestigious group of speakers including Nick Pinchuk (CEO of Snap-on Incorporated), Ian Bremmer (author and geo-political expert), and Volodymyr Zelenskyy (Ukrainian President). After the Strategex session, 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.”

About the Session

Too often, in manufacturing, we get overly engrossed in metrics. How many of these did we make? How long did it take? How can we shave a minute off the cycle time?

While we chase these numerical pursuits, we often fail to ask THE paramount question: how many people perceive what we provide as irreplaceable? This simple inquiry prioritizes the most important aspect of strategy—a compelling vision.

In this session, you'll learn the myriad reasons why vision led thinking is the catalyst to success, and how to develop such a vision that will prove to be dynamically transformative.

Remember: change the world, and the results follow.
