HTGALL at WPC

We had a fantastic meeting this afternoon to introduce HTG 2.0 to our membership. About 50 HTG members were in the room and another dozen or so online. The atmosphere was charged. We have the best set of partners in the industry in HTG and it showed today as we went through the agenda.

To much to share in one post, so the information will be broken down to make sure people are able to digest and my fingers are not wore to the bone. The first area to discuss is our Mission, Vision and Values and what HTG is really all about. Those who have been part for a while won't be surprised, other than we actually have written it down. But it is important for all new members and those who watch from afar to have this stuff nailed and the team that did it were fantastic. I applaud them for their hard work and insight.

Here is a weak attempt at a graphic to capture the ecosystem around HTG. Can use some graphic help making this really good, but it may give you an idea. HTG is about the intersection of three key areas: life, leadership and business planning in an environment surrounded by vendors, distributors, consultants and media but never forgetting that ultimately we are in business to serve our clients and employees.




These are the defining guidelines for HTG. It explains what we are about and how we will run this organization and live life. Know it and share it within your organizations. It needs to be our battle cry and will be the filter for everything we do. Make sure you hold us accountable to stay the course and make it happen!
