Having It All: Connecting Business Success and a Culture of Service
Event Information
About this event
What defines success for a company these days has changed. Sales growth, brand recognition, the ability to hire and keep great employees, a strong bottom line, and products and services that differentiate and delight customers all remain critical ingredients for any successful company. But is this enough or should great companies aspire to do more?
The MIT Enterprise Forum is excited to introduce you to four types of technology companies that are building successful businesses while also contributing to the common good of society. The companies range from more than 49,000 employees and $20B in revenue to less than 20 employees and self-funded. What do they have in common? A passion for building great technology products, a culture of innovation and a history of service to society. Come learn how you can have it all in your business.
Join us for a lively discussion on strategies for taking your organization to the next level of success and impact.
The program will be moderated by Central Cost MIT Enterprise Forum Board Member Kathy Chill following a short presentation by Reed Sheard, who also serves as a Board member.

Organizer of Having It All: Connecting Business Success and a Culture of Service
The Central Coast MIT Enterprise Forum hosts the region’s top business and technology events. Each month, we bring together veteran business leaders and experts to host events designed to educate, inform and inspire entrepreneurs.
Our Mission
To promote a unique process and atmosphere to develop and strengthen the entrepreneurial community in the Central Coast through interaction with experienced executives who have successfully navigated the challenges of building an organization.
In 1986, the MIT Enterprise Forum of the Central Coast was established to serve the coastal business communities of Los Angeles, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology Enterprise Forum has 25 chapters worldwide, each offering unique programs and networking opportunities for entrepreneurs.
Presentations
Early stage businesses face many common challenges. In case presentations, the Forum provides local entrepreneurs the opportunity to present their business plans during an open meeting before a panel of specially chosen business experts and an audience of peers and other people interested in business development. This Forum format provides the presenting companies an opportunity to receive feedback and suggestions for their businesses from experienced professionals.
Selected Topics
Special topic presentations address current and specific challenges facing early stage businesses. A special panel of entrepreneurs and industry experts is assembled for an in-depth “round table” discussion of the issue.
