Dear CEO, Entrepreneur or Senior Executive,
Imagine if a very successful serial entrepreneur, who had grown two companies to over $100 million in sales, had worked for 16 months to painstakingly document the most important business model, systems, ideas and lessons he had learned during his 23 year career. What if he had also collected ideas from over 1,000 business books read over 15 years while he was a CEO?
Imagine the impact such knowledge could have on your business and your career. Well, we have just the entrepreneurship management training seminar for you. The Art and Science of Business Design incorporates everything I wish I had known when I founded my first business in 1989.
During my career, I have been intricately involved in entrepreneurship and the success of two multi-billion dollar corporations and eight startups, and I've learned lots of hard lessons along the way, too. At one point, I was creating and launching a new product and business each year and achieving eleven times the industry average productivity in product development.
When CEOs and entrepreneurs take on the responsibility of running an entire business, they need to know how to design, plan and manage each of the enterprises key disciplines: Sales, Marketing, Finance, Operations and Product Development. You must know how they interact and compete. You need to know how to recruit, hire, motivate and manage the best people in each discipline. You must also know how to get people and departments to work together, so that everybody is on the same page strategically.
When I first became a CEO, I began reading four, five and even six business books a month. I subscribed to books on tape. I attended management trainings, executive trainings and seminars of all kinds - to say nothing of workshops, boot camps and other executive forums. However, I never found a good entrepreneurship training program of any kind.
And then I began to notice something. All these trainers and authors were experts in only a single discipline. They could never tie everything together in a framework that would promote success and growth across the entire organization. In any real-world business, all these disciplines are tightly interconnected. Yet very few people have had the broad scope of responsibilities to understand them all and integrate them effectively, never mind high-growth experience in all size businesses, from startup to to multi-billion operations. This can only be gained after many years experience as an operating CEO!
With that unique perspective I knew I had to create a new kind of CEO and Entrepreneurship Boot Camp- The Art and Science of Business Design. The framework we have designed draws on everything I have learned over the course of my 23-year career as a VP, CTO and CEO. You will learn a comprehensive system for designing, developing, improving and running businesses, spanning the high level of all the major business disciplines.
Even though I already had many years of business experience in senior management roles, nothing ever fully prepares you for stepping into the role of CEO. If you are a CEO, GM or COO, or are close to launching a company of your own, you really can't afford to miss this unique event.
We firmly believe that attending this seminar will allow you to save, or make, at least an extra $100,000 for your company in the following year. Enrollment is limited, so I urge you to register now.
I hope to see you there!
P.S. If you are still on the fence, feel free to call me at my direct line: (508) 381-1450 to discuss what you can learn by attending, or what we can do to help groom your best executives for world-class performance. We only want to accept people who are ready and can really benefit from this advanced level training.
"It's a great course - very comprehensive. I think it can really help people look at their business in a new way. I can tell you it gave me new vision. He teaches practical lessons people can actually apply."
This senior management training seminar is designed for CEOs, senior executives and entrepreneurs who wish to broaden their experience and skills in business by learning a practical framework, with superior methods and approaches to designing and running businesses for high growth and profit. This could be called just a "CEO Boot Camp," but the ones we have seen are so much less, because they are mainly anecdotal, not a complete framework for success. This is a complete system that teaches you how to design and manage departments for all the major business disciplines.
The Art and Science of Business DesignTM is strategic and high level, so you will learn to design departments, and to set up and manage these business functions successfully. It is the 20,000 foot view for running your business that will allow you to architect and improve your business model and performance. You will be taught to use 12 different entrepreneurial business design tools that will improve any size business, and many shortcuts that will save you hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is not just a list of things you need to learn or do, but a series of proven models, methods and systems compiled from decades of experience, plus the best ideas from over 1,000 business books. Mr. Norton spent 16 months documenting these systems and they are only available here.
This executive level management seminar is an investment in your abilities and skills that will last a lifetime and can literally generate millions in extra profits for you and/or your company. If you are a CEO, or want to be a CEO, or a General Manager, of a significant business, or if you are thinking of launching a company, we believe this will be the best investment you ever make. You will learn practical "How To" techniques that will build any business faster and more profitably. This executive management training seminar will also help you design, launch and improve any new products or businesses by broadening your executive skills and becoming more fluent in the business areas you are not expert in today.
Bob is one of those rare people who can rub two sticks together and create a company.

Most people will NEVER figure this all out for themselves �EVER� even with 10 years in a rapid growth CEO position. This system contains the combined wisdom of some of the top thought leaders in business over the last two decades. What I have done is combine and integrate these ideas into a framework that can work in any size business.

Designing and positioning a business for sustainable competitive advantage
Optimizing your business model for minimum risk and capital investment
Figuring out the exact skills you need and selecting your management team and other employees and interviewing for skills you do not have yourself. Most businesses require 20 skill sets to be really successful on a large scale. You will learn these and how to figure out which you have and which you don't.
Raising capital in any market from the best sources (angels, VCs, banks, alternative sources)
Developing a marketing, communications and messaging plan and department that is accountable to a return on investment
Designing and positioning your brand with a step-by-step system to develop your brand, brand personality and USP that will make your growth faster
Developing and validating a better vision and business plan that works in the real world and attracts and excites investors, employees and customers
Planning, designing and managing a sales department and selecting strategies, tactics and channels that will work for your business
Hiring the best people in every area and understanding the personality types that work best in each discipline
Designing a "Dashboard" for running your business that will give you more distant vision and focus employees on key objectives
The list of 11 things a CEO should never, ever do that most CEOs do not know
The strategies you can use to grow ANY business to over $100 million in revenue
And much more . . .
"In building First Call Corporation, Bob Norton, was my secret weapon in getting a really audacious job done not only on time and under budget, but done so well that it revolutionized how equity sales was done on Wall Street. His abilities to understand complex requirements, to synthesize elegant solutions, and then to manage a team to get it done, are still the best I've ever seen." - Jim Rutt, ex-CEO Network Solutions, The Internet Registration Company

You will learn how to define and select a management team that can be successful. This seminar will broaden any senior executive's business knowledge, far beyond their typical day-to-day specialty and their past career track, to prepare them to move up, or run any organization. The Art and Science of Business Design is the only senior management and entrepreneurship training we're aware of that will give you a complete roadmap to becoming a world-class executive and/or CEO. Only experienced managers and entrepreneurs will be admitted, as this is an advanced, content packed and fast moving course designed for people who already have management experience. You will also do workshops actually designing businesses with guidance and help from experts.
Executives in larger organizations will learn to inject intrapreneurial spirit into their organizations and improve results. All sessions are taught by experts who have "done it before." Robert Norton, founder of C-Level Enterprises,will teach most sessions in their entirety with several other expert guest speakers. Mr. Norton is a serial entrepreneur who has launched over 32 products and eight businesses successfully, as well as learned how to avoid many business missteps through a systematic business design approach he developed over the last 15 years.
Executive Leadership Past Attendee Testimonial: "The boot camp gave me all the information I needed to fill in the blanks as I develop my new company. Even though I sold a large Inc. 500 company before, this gave me the models I needed to just drop things into place and greatly improve and speed up my business development process." � Susan Chandler-Duquette, CEO DEI Business Consulting
The wisdom of close to 1,000 business books is distilled down to the best ideas that work together in an integrated system. This is a highly pragmatic "How To" course that will give you a framework and all the tools you need to start and run a business. This is not just a seminar consisting of many industry luminaries, panels and CEOs waxing poetic on their past successes, or spinning entertaining anecdotes. These are valuable and fun too, but they do not present a unified and integrated framework for starting and running a business. This structured framework can be used to evaluate, design, improve and launch businesses in any industry. Typically these lessons are not taught, but learned through long, hard and expensive experience.

Dear CEO, Entrepreneur or Senior Executive,

What if he had also collected ideas from over 1,000 business books read over 15 years while he was a CEO?
Imagine the impact such knowledge could have on your business and your career. Well, we have just the entrepreneurship management training seminar for you. The Art and Science of Business Design incorporates everything I wish I had known when I founded my first business in 1989.
During my career, I have been intricately involved in entrepreneurship and the success of two multi-billion dollar corporations and eight startups, and I've learned lots of hard lessons along the way, too. At one point, I was creating and launching a new product and business each year and achieving eleven times the industry average productivity in product development.
When CEOs and entrepreneurs take on the responsibility of running an entire business, they need to know how to design, plan and manage each of the enterprises key disciplines: Sales, Marketing, Finance, Operations and Product Development. You must know how they interact and compete. You need to know how to recruit, hire, motivate and manage the best people in each discipline. You must also know how to get people and departments to work together, so that everybody is on the same page strategically.
When I first became a CEO, I began reading four, five and even six business books a month. I subscribed to books on tape. I attended management trainings, executive trainings and seminars of all kinds - to say nothing of workshops, boot camps and other executive forums. However, I never found a good entrepreneurship training program of any kind.
And then I began to notice something. All these trainers and authors were experts in only a single discipline. They could never tie everything together in a framework that would promote success and growth across the entire organization. In any real-world business, all these disciplines are tightly interconnected. Yet very few people have had the broad scope of responsibilities to understand them all and integrate them effectively, never mind high-growth experience in all size businesses, from startup to to multi-billion operations. This can only be gained after many years experience as an operating CEO!
With that unique perspective I knew I had to create a new kind of CEO and Entrepreneurship Boot Camp- The Art and Science of Business Design. The framework we have designed draws on everything I have learned over the course of my 23-year career as a VP, CTO and CEO. You will learn a comprehensive system for designing, developing, improving and running businesses, spanning the high level of all the major business disciplines.
Even though I already had many years of business experience in senior management roles, nothing ever fully prepares you for stepping into the role of CEO. If you are a CEO, GM or COO, or are close to launching a company of your own, you really can't afford to miss this unique event.
We firmly believe that attending this seminar will allow you to save, or make, at least an extra $100,000 for your company in the following year. Enrollment is limited, so I urge you to register now.
I hope to see you there!

"It's a great course - very comprehensive. I think it can really help people look at their business in a new way. I can tell you it gave me new vision. He teaches practical lessons people can actually apply."
This senior management training seminar is designed for CEOs, senior executives and entrepreneurs who wish to broaden their experience and skills in business by learning a practical framework, with superior methods and approaches to designing and running businesses for high growth and profit. This could be called just a "CEO Boot Camp," but the ones we have seen are so much less, because they are mainly anecdotal, not a complete framework for success. This is a complete system that teaches you how to design and manage departments for all the major business disciplines.
The Art and Science of Business DesignTM is strategic and high level, so you will learn to design departments, and to set up and manage these business functions successfully. It is the 20,000 foot view for running your business that will allow you to architect and improve your business model and performance. You will be taught to use 12 different entrepreneurial business design tools that will improve any size business, and many shortcuts that will save you hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is not just a list of things you need to learn or do, but a series of proven models, methods and systems compiled from decades of experience, plus the best ideas from over 1,000 business books. Mr. Norton spent 16 months documenting these systems and they are only available here.
This executive level management seminar is an investment in your abilities and skills that will last a lifetime and can literally generate millions in extra profits for you and/or your company. If you are a CEO, or want to be a CEO, or a General Manager, of a significant business, or if you are thinking of launching a company, we believe this will be the best investment you ever make. You will learn practical "How To" techniques that will build any business faster and more profitably. This executive management training seminar will also help you design, launch and improve any new products or businesses by broadening your executive skills and becoming more fluent in the business areas you are not expert in today.

Most people will NEVER figure this all out for themselves - EVER - even with 10 years in a rapid growth CEO position.

Raising capital in any market from the best sources (angels, VCs, banks, alternative sources)
Developing a marketing, communications and messaging plan and department that is accountable to a return on investment
Designing and positioning your brand with a step-by-step system to develop your brand, brand personality and USP that will make your growth faster

You will learn how to define and select a management team that can be successful. This seminar will broaden any senior executive's business knowledge, far beyond their typical day-to-day specialty and their past career track, to prepare them to move up, or run any organization. The Art and Science of Business Design is the only senior management and entrepreneurship training we're aware of that will give you a complete roadmap to becoming a world-class executive and/or CEO. Only experienced managers and entrepreneurs will be admitted, as this is an advanced, content packed and fast moving course designed for people who already have management experience. You will also do workshops actually designing businesses with guidance and help from experts.
Executives in larger organizations will learn to inject intrapreneurial spirit into their organizations and improve results. All sessions are taught by experts who have "done it before." Robert Norton, founder of C-Level Enterprises,will teach most sessions in their entirety with several other expert guest speakers. Mr. Norton is a serial entrepreneur who has launched over 32 products and eight businesses successfully, as well as learned how to avoid many business missteps through a systematic business design approach he developed over the last 15 years.
Executive Leadership Past Attendee Testimonial: "The boot camp gave me all the information I needed to fill in the blanks as I develop my new company. Even though I sold a large Inc. 500 company before, this gave me the models I needed to just drop things into place and greatly improve and speed up my business development process." � Susan Chandler-Duquette, CEO DEI Business Consulting
The wisdom of close to 1,000 business books is distilled down to the best ideas that work together in an integrated system. This is a highly pragmatic "How To" course that will give you a framework and all the tools you need to start and run a business. This is not just a seminar consisting of many industry luminaries, panels and CEOs waxing poetic on their past successes, or spinning entertaining anecdotes. These are valuable and fun too, but they do not present a unified and integrated framework for starting and running a business. This structured framework can be used to evaluate, design, improve and launch businesses in any industry. Typically these lessons are not taught, but learned through long, hard and expensive experience.

Dear CEO, Entrepreneur or Senior Executive,
Imagine if a very successful serial entrepreneur, who had grown two companies to over $100 million in sales, had worked for 16 months to painstakingly document the most important business model, systems, ideas and lessons he had learned during his 23 year career. What if he had also collected ideas from over 1,000 business books read over 15 years while he was a CEO?
Imagine the impact such knowledge could have on your business and your career. Well, we have just the entrepreneurship management training seminar for you. The Art and Science of Business Design incorporates everything I wish I had known when I founded my first business in 1989.
During my career, I have been intricately involved in entrepreneurship and the success of two multi-billion dollar corporations and eight startups, and I've learned lots of hard lessons along the way, too. At one point, I was creating and launching a new product and business each year and achieving eleven times the industry average productivity in product development.
When CEOs and entrepreneurs take on the responsibility of running an entire business, they need to know how to design, plan and manage each of the enterprises key disciplines: Sales, Marketing, Finance, Operations and Product Development. You must know how they interact and compete. You need to know how to recruit, hire, motivate and manage the best people in each discipline. You must also know how to get people and departments to work together, so that everybody is on the same page strategically.
When I first became a CEO, I began reading four, five and even six business books a month. I subscribed to books on tape. I attended management trainings, executive trainings and seminars of all kinds - to say nothing of workshops, boot camps and other executive forums. However, I never found a good entrepreneurship training program of any kind.
And then I began to notice something. All these trainers and authors were experts in only a single discipline. They could never tie everything together in a framework that would promote success and growth across the entire organization. In any real-world business, all these disciplines are tightly interconnected. Yet very few people have had the broad scope of responsibilities to understand them all and integrate them effectively, never mind high-growth experience in all size businesses, from startup to to multi-billion operations. This can only be gained after many years experience as an operating CEO!
With that unique perspective I knew I had to create a new kind of CEO and Entrepreneurship Boot Camp- The Art and Science of Business Design. The framework we have designed draws on everything I have learned over the course of my 23-year career as a VP, CTO and CEO. You will learn a comprehensive system for designing, developing, improving and running businesses, spanning the high level of all the major business disciplines.
Even though I already had many years of business experience in senior management roles, nothing ever fully prepares you for stepping into the role of CEO. If you are a CEO, GM or COO, or are close to launching a company of your own, you really can't afford to miss this unique event.
We firmly believe that attending this seminar will allow you to save, or make, at least an extra $100,000 for your company in the following year. Enrollment is limited, so I urge you to register now.
I hope to see you there!
P.S. If you are still on the fence, feel free to call me at my direct line: (508) 381-8013 to discuss what you can learn by attending, or what we can do to help groom your best executives for world-class performance.

You will learn how to define and select a management team that can be successful. This seminar will broaden any senior executive's business knowledge, far beyond their typical day-to-day specialty and their past career track, to prepare them to move up, or run any organization. The Art and Science of Business Design is the only senior management and entrepreneurship training we're aware of that will give you a complete roadmap to becoming a world-class executive and/or CEO. Only experienced managers and entrepreneurs will be admitted, as this is an advanced, content packed and fast moving course designed for people who already have management experience. You will also do workshops actually designing businesses with guidance and help from experts.
Executives in larger organizations will learn to inject intrapreneurial spirit into their organizations and improve results. All sessions are taught by experts who have "done it before." Robert Norton, founder of C-Level Enterprises,will teach most sessions in their entirety with several other expert guest speakers. Mr. Norton is a serial entrepreneur who has launched over 32 products and eight businesses successfully, as well as learned how to avoid many business missteps through a systematic business design approach he developed over the last 15 years.
Executive Leadership Past Attendee Testimonial: "The boot camp gave me all the information I needed to fill in the blanks as I develop my new company. Even though I sold a large Inc. 500 company before, this gave me the models I needed to just drop things into place and greatly improve and speed up my business development process." - Susan Chandler-Duquette, CEO DEI Business Consulting
The wisdom of close to 1,000 business books is distilled down to the best ideas that work together in an integrated system. This is a highly pragmatic "How To" course that will give you a framework and all the tools you need to start and run a business.

These are valuable and fun too, but they do not present a unified and integrated framework for starting and running a business. This structured framework can be used to evaluate, design, improve and launch businesses in any industry. Typically these lessons are not taught, but learned through long, hard and expensive experience.

Dear CEO, Entrepreneur or Senior Executive,
Imagine if a very successful serial entrepreneur, who had grown two companies to over $100 million in sales, had worked for 16 months to painstakingly document the most important business model, systems, ideas and lessons he had learned during his 23 year career. What if he had also collected ideas from over 1,000 business books read over 15 years while he was a CEO?
Imagine the impact such knowledge could have on your business and your career. Well, we have just the entrepreneurship management training seminar for you. The Art and Science of Business Design incorporates everything I wish I had known when I founded my first business in 1989.
During my career, I have been intricately involved in entrepreneurship and the success of two multi-billion dollar corporations and eight startups, and I've learned lots of hard lessons along the way, too. At one point, I was creating and launching a new product and business each year and achieving eleven times the industry average productivity in product development.
When CEOs and entrepreneurs take on the responsibility of running an entire business, they need to know how to design, plan and manage each of the enterprises key disciplines: Sales, Marketing, Finance, Operations and Product Development. You must know how they interact and compete. You need to know how to recruit, hire, motivate and manage the best people in each discipline. You must also know how to get people and departments to work together, so that everybody is on the same page strategically.
When I first became a CEO, I began reading four, five and even six business books a month. I subscribed to books on tape. I attended management trainings, executive trainings and seminars of all kinds - to say nothing of workshops, boot camps and other executive forums. However, I never found a good entrepreneurship training program of any kind.
And then I began to notice something. All these trainers and authors were experts in only a single discipline. They could never tie everything together in a framework that would promote success and growth across the entire organization. In any real-world business, all these disciplines are tightly interconnected. Yet very few people have had the broad scope of responsibilities to understand them all and integrate them effectively, never mind high-growth experience in all size businesses, from startup to to multi-billion operations. This can only be gained after many years experience as an operating CEO!
With that unique perspective I knew I had to create a new kind of CEO and Entrepreneurship Boot Camp� The Art and Science of Business Design. The framework we have designed draws on everything I have learned over the course of my 23-year career as a VP, CTO and CEO. You will learn a comprehensive system for designing, developing, improving and running businesses, spanning the high level of all the major business disciplines.
Even though I already had many years of business experience in senior management roles, nothing ever fully prepares you for stepping into the role of CEO. If you are a CEO, GM or COO, or are close to launching a company of your own, you really can't afford to miss this unique event.
We firmly believe that attending this seminar will allow you to save, or make, at least an extra $100,000 for your company in the following year. Enrollment is limited, so I urge you to register now.
I hope to see you there!
P.S. If you are still on the fence, feel free to call me at my direct line: (508) 381-1450 to discuss what you can learn by attending, or what we can do to help groom your best executives for world-class performance. We only want to accept people who are ready and can really benefit from this advanced level training.
"It's a great course - very comprehensive. I think it can really help people look at their business in a new way. I can tell you it gave me new vision. He teaches practical lessons people can actually apply."
This senior management training seminar is designed for CEOs, senior executives and entrepreneurs who wish to broaden their experience and skills in business by learning a practical framework, with superior methods and approaches to designing and running businesses for high growth and profit. This could be called just a "CEO Boot Camp," but the ones we have seen are so much less, because they are mainly anecdotal, not a complete framework for success. This is a complete system that teaches you how to design and manage departments for all the major business disciplines.
The Art and Science of Business DesignTM is strategic and high level, so you will learn to design departments, and to set up and manage these business functions successfully. It is the 20,000 foot view for running your business that will allow you to architect and improve your business model and performance. You will be taught to use 12 different entrepreneurial business design tools that will improve any size business, and many shortcuts that will save you hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is not just a list of things you need to learn or do, but a series of proven models, methods and systems compiled from decades of experience, plus the best ideas from over 1,000 business books. Mr. Norton spent 16 months documenting these systems and they are only available here.
This executive level management seminar is an investment in your abilities and skills that will last a lifetime and can literally generate millions in extra profits for you and/or your company. If you are a CEO, or want to be a CEO, or a General Manager, of a significant business, or if you are thinking of launching a company, we believe this will be the best investment you ever make. You will learn practical "How To" techniques that will build any business faster and more profitably. This executive management training seminar will also help you design, launch and improve any new products or businesses by broadening your executive skills and becoming more fluent in the business areas you are not expert in today.
Bob is one of those rare people who can rub two sticks together and create a company.

Most people will NEVER figure this all out for themselves - EVER - even with 10 years in a rapid growth CEO position. This system contains the combined wisdom of some of the top thought leaders in business over the last two decades. What I have done is combine and integrate these ideas into a framework that can work in any size business.
Here are just some of the management and entrepreneurship models, tools and systems you will learn:
Designing and positioning a business for sustainable competitive advantage
Optimizing your business model for minimum risk and capital investment
Figuring out the exact skills you need and selecting your management team and other employees and interviewing for skills you do not have yourself. Most businesses require 20 skill sets to be really successful on a large scale. You will learn these and how to figure out which you have and which you don't.
Raising capital in any market from the best sources (angels, VCs, banks, alternative sources)
Developing a marketing, communications and messaging plan and department that is accountable to a return on investment
Designing and positioning your brand with a step-by-step system to develop your brand, brand personality and USP that will make your growth faster
Developing and validating a better vision and business plan that works in the real world and attracts and excites investors, employees and customers
Planning, designing and managing a sales department and selecting strategies, tactics and channels that will work for your business
Hiring the best people in every area and understanding the personality types that work best in each discipline
Designing a "Dashboard" for running your business that will give you more distant vision and focus employees on key objectives

Dear CEO, Entrepreneur or Senior Executive,
Imagine if a very successful serial entrepreneur, who had grown two companies to over $100 million in sales, had worked for 16 months to painstakingly document the most important business model, systems, ideas and lessons he had learned during his 23 year career. What if he had also collected ideas from over 1,000 business books read over 15 years while he was a CEO?
Imagine the impact such knowledge could have on your business and your career. Well, we have just the entrepreneurship management training seminar for you. The Art and Science of Business Design incorporates everything I wish I had known when I founded my first business in 1989.
During my career, I have been intricately involved in entrepreneurship and the success of two multi-billion dollar corporations and eight startups, and I've learned lots of hard lessons along the way, too. At one point, I was creating and launching a new product and business each year and achieving eleven times the industry average productivity in product development.
When CEOs and entrepreneurs take on the responsibility of running an entire business, they need to know how to design, plan and manage each of the enterprises key disciplines: Sales, Marketing, Finance, Operations and Product Development. You must know how they interact and compete. You need to know how to recruit, hire, motivate and manage the best people in each discipline. You must also know how to get people and departments to work together, so that everybody is on the same page strategically.
When I first became a CEO, I began reading four, five and even six business books a month. I subscribed to books on tape. I attended management trainings, executive trainings and seminars of all kinds - to say nothing of workshops, boot camps and other executive forums. However, I never found a good entrepreneurship training program of any kind.
And then I began to notice something. All these trainers and authors were experts in only a single discipline. They could never tie everything together in a framework that would promote success and growth across the entire organization. In any real-world business, all these disciplines are tightly interconnected. Yet very few people have had the broad scope of responsibilities to understand them all and integrate them effectively, never mind high-growth experience in all size businesses, from startup to to multi-billion operations. This can only be gained after many years experience as an operating CEO!
With that unique perspective I knew I had to create a new kind of CEO and Entrepreneurship Boot Camp- The Art and Science of Business Design. The framework we have designed draws on everything I have learned over the course of my 23-year career as a VP, CTO and CEO. You will learn a comprehensive system for designing, developing, improving and running businesses, spanning the high level of all the major business disciplines.
Even though I already had many years of business experience in senior management roles, nothing ever fully prepares you for stepping into the role of CEO. If you are a CEO, GM or COO, or are close to launching a company of your own, you really can't afford to miss this unique event.
We firmly believe that attending this seminar will allow you to save, or make, at least an extra $100,000 for your company in the following year. Enrollment is limited, so I urge you to register now.
I hope to see you there!
P.S. If you are still on the fence, feel free to call me at my direct line: (508) 381-8013 to discuss what you can learn by attending, or what we can do to help groom your best executives for world-class performance. We only want to accept people who are ready and can really benefit from this advanced level training.
"It's a great course - very comprehensive. I think it can really help people look at their business in a new way. I can tell you it gave me new vision. He teaches practical lessons people can actually apply."
This senior management training seminar is designed for CEOs, senior executives and entrepreneurs who wish to broaden their experience and skills in business by learning a practical framework, with superior methods and approaches to designing and running businesses for high growth and profit. This could be called just a "CEO Boot Camp," but the ones we have seen are so much less, because they are mainly anecdotal, not a complete framework for success. This is a complete system that teaches you how to design and manage departments for all the major business disciplines.
The Art and Science of Business DesignTM is strategic and high level, so you will learn to design departments, and to set up and manage these business functions successfully. It is the 20,000 foot view for running your business that will allow you to architect and improve your business model and performance. You will be taught to use 12 different entrepreneurial business design tools that will improve any size business, and many shortcuts that will save you hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is not just a list of things you need to learn or do, but a series of proven models, methods and systems compiled from decades of experience, plus the best ideas from over 1,000 business books. Mr. Norton spent 16 months documenting these systems and they are only available here.
This executive level management seminar is an investment in your abilities and skills that will last a lifetime and can literally generate millions in extra profits for you and/or your company. If you are a CEO, or want to be a CEO, or a General Manager, of a significant business, or if you are thinking of launching a company, we believe this will be the best investment you ever make. You will learn practical "How To" techniques that will build any business faster and more profitably. This executive management training seminar will also help you design, launch and improve any new products or businesses by broadening your executive skills and becoming more fluent in the business areas you are not expert in today.
Bob is one of those rare people who can rub two sticks together and create a company.

Developing a marketing, communications and messaging plan and department that is accountable to a return on investment

"In building First Call Corporation, Bob Norton, was my secret weapon in getting a really audacious job done not only on time and under budget, but done so well that it revolutionized how equity sales was done on Wall Street. His abilities to understand complex requirements, to synthesize elegant solutions, and then to manage a team to get it done, are still the best I've ever seen." - Jim Rutt, ex-CEO Network Solutions, The Internet Registration Company

No question about value delivered."

You will learn how to define and select a management team that can be successful. This seminar will broaden any senior executive's business knowledge, far beyond their typical day-to-day specialty and their past career track, to prepare them to move up, or run any organization. The Art and Science of Business Design is the only senior management and entrepreneurship training we're aware of that will give you a complete roadmap to becoming a world-class executive and/or CEO. Only experienced managers and entrepreneurs will be admitted, as this is an advanced, content packed and fast moving course designed for people who already have management experience. You will also do workshops actually designing businesses with guidance and help from experts.
Executives in larger organizations will learn to inject intrapreneurial spirit into their organizations and improve results. All sessions are taught by experts who have "done it before." Robert Norton, founder of C-Level Enterprises,will teach most sessions in their entirety with several other expert guest speakers. Mr. Norton is a serial entrepreneur who has launched over 32 products and eight businesses successfully, as well as learned how to avoid many business missteps through a systematic business design approach he developed over the last 15 years.
Executive Leadership Past Attendee Testimonial: "The boot camp gave me all the information I needed to fill in the blanks as I develop my new company. Even though I sold a large Inc. 500 company before, this gave me the models I needed to just drop things into place and greatly improve and speed up my business development process." - Susan Chandler-Duquette, CEO DEI Business Consulting
The wisdom of close to 1,000 business books is distilled down to the best ideas that work together in an integrated system. This is a highly pragmatic "How To" course that will give you a framework and all the tools you need to start and run a business. This is not just a seminar consisting of many industry luminaries, panels and CEOs waxing poetic on their past successes, or spinning entertaining anecdotes. These are valuable and fun too, but they do not present a unified and integrated framework for starting and running a business. This structured framework can be used to evaluate, design, improve and launch businesses in any industry. Typically these lessons are not taught, but learned through long, hard and expensive experience.
What else is included:
A 300+ page manual with all the slides, tools, diagrams and articlesA FREE bonus one hour consulting with Bob Norton at our offices or by phone using the business design tools to improve your business
A CD-ROM with the business design tools, instructions and key articles
Breakfast, lunch and snacks
"Master of Business Acceleration" graduation certificate (suitable for framing)
Networking opportunity with other CEOs and entrepreneurs
Your own personal company $1 million action plan, developed with others help throughout the seminar
Free parking
"You can either be taught by someone who has done it already, or you can try to reinvent the wheel over many years. Don't miss this boot camp, as that mistake will definitely cost you millions in extra sales and mistakes over the coming years!"
