SUMMARY:Get Out of The Weeds!  5 Areas to Focus On to Grow a Lush\, Vibrant Business
DESCRIPTION:Register by 10:00 pm\, Thu June 16. \nSelect “In-Person” or “Virtually via Zoom.” (If you choose Zoom\, we’ll email you a link on June 16 after 11:00 pm. Then\, please join via Zoom at 11:50 am on Fri June 17. \nIt’s easy to get caught up in details and forget to invest our time\, energy\, and best thinking into answering the big picture questions that determine whether our businesses will succeed or fail. \nWouldn’t it be great if entrepreneurs had a framework to ensure they don’t lose sight of what’s important? \nIn this TIGER Talk\, entrepreneur Seth Cramer will provide this type of guidance\, using principles from the course he teaches to Entrepreneurship students at Ohio State’s Fisher College of Business. Seth will provide tools to help you focus on what matters most. \nSpecific questions Seth will cover: \n\nWhat pain is our business trying to relieve?\nHow many people (B2C) or organizations (B2B) are experiencing this pain?\nHow will we reach these people/organizations?\nWhat strategies will enable us to retain the customers we’ve earned?\nAre our internal processes and costs optimized to give us a competitive edge or\, at least\, stand out from the pack?\n\nSeth is an entrepreneur who has both launched a start-up and turned around a failing company. He understands that the relentless day-to-day demands of operating a business can distract us\, causing us to lose focus on the really important questions. This talk will help you avoid that fate! \n*************** \nSeth Cramer teaches the final course in Entrepreneurship at The Ohio State University\, helping undergraduate seniors turn their business ideas into investor-worthy pitches. \nSeth’s passion for entrepreneurship started 20+ years ago\, while earning his MBA at Ohio State. After helping one of his classmates with his business-plan-writing service\, Seth ended up co-founding Armada Group\, Inc.\, a law enforcement technology company. Upon exiting that firm\, the Columbus based venture capital firm NCT Ventures asked Seth to assess Phoenix Bat Company\, a Plain City\, Ohio-based wood baseball bat company. Seth turned around this company’s fortunes while becoming a co-owner of the business. \nBesides his teaching\, Seth currently works as a freelance consultant\, including availability to serve as “fractional chief operating officer” for an early stage firm that would benefit from his experience and talents. He currently provides consulting support for two start-up efforts (an OSU cochlear implant-related technology and an innovative wine packaging idea). \nA native of Connecticut\, Seth loves advising students and businesses with honest\, “east coast style” direct feedback. He finds it rewarding to be able to offer a critical view\, from a wide lens of comprehension and see it make a difference. Seth’s business career is grounded in 8+ years working in different roles across a number of functional areas within Fortune 500 companies. \nLike all TIGER  Events\, this one is FREE.  \nHybrid Format – Event Timeline: \n11:30 am – Lunch & Socializing (In-Person Participants) \n11:50 am – Connect via Zoom (Virtual Participants) \n11:55 am – Introduce Yourself to All (In-Person & Virtual Participants) \n12:10 pm – Hand-off to Seth \n1:00 pm – Wrap \n[expire-content date=”2022-06-17 1:00pm” message=”This event has passed so registration is closed.”]\n\n                \n                        Name*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email*\n                            \n                        Company*Note: This Event Is Being Presented in a "Hybrid" Format*I will participate:\n								\n								In Person at Innovate New Albany (8000 Walton Pkwy\, Suite 200)\n							\n								\n								Virtually via Zoom\n							Consent to Use My Image & Voice*By registering for & participating in this event\, I am consenting to the recording of my image and/or voice.

SUMMARY:Dynasty Hacks for Business Owners
DESCRIPTION:Please register by 10:00 pm\, Tue August 9.  \nHybrid format: select either “In-Person” or “Virtual via Zoom.”  \nOn the evening of August 9\, we’ll send a reminder email (including Zoom link) to all who’ve registered. \nMany small business owners struggle\, for reasons that include: \n\ntrying to be all things to all people\,\nkeeping all of their assets in their business\,\ntrying to be the expert on every aspect of their own success\n\nAt this TIGER Talk\, our speaker Molly Grubb will help you\, the business owner\, learn how to create a process with an expert team supporting you — to grow and protect the dynasty you are building. \nShe will also highlight two overlooked strategies to free up the wealth in your business\, so your financial success is not totally dependent on the success of your company. The 1st strategy is to scale passively with real estate in and outside of your business and retire your real estate while minimizing your tax responsibilities. And the 2nd strategy offers you a path to putting away more than 5X the maximum allowed under a 401K plan while also creating more loyalty from your employees and gaining significant tax savings. \n***************\nMolly Grubb is the founder of Grubb Wealth\, a virtual family office\, helping to scale business owners’ successes via protecting their assets\, creating multiple income streams freeing up their time\, and building custom teams with the unique capabilities to support their success. She has been a featured speaker on dozens of stages across the country including as a TedX speaker. Molly is also the author of the soon-to-be-available book Build Your Dynasty. \nA few personal items from Molly: \nWhen Molly is not busy helping business owners become even more successful\, she and members of her large family love spending time together and supporting each other. Molly was even able to donate her stem cell to her sister\, Mandy and this procedure has enabled Mandy to become leukemia-free. Molly also enjoys working out\, watching THE Ohio State University crush their athletic opponents\, dancing\, and traveling with her amazing boyfriend\, Robert. \n***************\n\nLike all TIGER  Events\, this one is FREE.  \nHybrid Format – Event Timeline: \n11:30 am – Lunch & Socializing (In-Person Participants) \n11:50 am – Connect via Zoom (Virtual Participants) \n11:55 am – Introduce Yourself to All (In-Person & Virtual Participants) \n12:10 pm – Hand-off to Molly \n1:00 pm – Wrap \n[expire-content date=”2022-08-10 1:00pm” message=”This event has passed so registration is closed.”]\n                \n                        Name*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email*\n                            \n                        Company*Note: This Event Is Being Presented in a "Hybrid" Format*I will participate:\n								\n								In Person at Innovate New Albany (8000 Walton Pkwy\, Suite 200)\n							\n								\n								Virtually via Zoom\n							Consent to Use My Image & Voice*By registering for & participating in this event\, I am consenting to the recording of my image and/or voice.

SUMMARY:Improving Organizational Performance by Focusing on Process vs People (hybrid format)
DESCRIPTION:Please register by 10 pm\, Tue Sep 27.  \nHybrid Format: Select “In-Person” -or- “Virtual via Zoom.”  \nOn the evening of Sep 27\, we’ll send a reminder email (including Zoom link) to all who’ve registered. \n*************** \nDoes your organization have performance goals that are frustratingly hard to achieve? Have you worked hard to ensure your employees have the skills and training they need to reach your goals? And still\, the results you’re aiming for just aren’t there? \nMaybe it’s not the employees. Organizational performance is a function of both the behavior of team members and the design of processes. \nIn this TIGER Talk\, our presenters\, Tom Bishop\, PhD & Yiem Sunbhanich\, will argue that process design is actually the primary determinant of performance. Examples will be presented to support of the validity of this claim – including improving workplace results and reducing auto accidents on roadways – through focused\, deliberate work to improve process design. \nOrganizations must manage both people and processes. Please join us to learn more about the great “hidden” opportunity within many organizations for improved performance by placing more attention on the design of processes and the control of process performance using modern data analytic methods. \n*************** \nTom Bishop\, PhD\, is the founder and CEO of Bishop & Associates\, an analytic consulting company helping organizations use analytics to optimize organizational performance. During his career Dr. Bishop has provided analytic consulting and educational services to clients in manufacturing\, healthcare\, finance\, and service organizations including: Abbott Nutritionals\, Alliance Data\, BMW Financial Services\, Dunn and Bradstreet\, Ford Motor Company\, Huntington Bank\, JPMorgan Chase Bank\, Nationwide Insurance\, OhioHealth\, and Starbucks. \nEarlier in his career\, Dr. Bishop was a research scientist and manager of the Applied Statistics and Computer Applications Section at the Battelle Columbus Laboratories. Prior to joining Battelle\, he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at Virginia Tech. \n*************** \nYiem Sunbhanich is a Co-Founder and the CEO of TNEDICCA®\, company that has developed a proprietary vehicle crash location database enabling unique risk score solutions. These risk scores have empirically proven to improve pricing accuracy and profitability for auto insurance companies. \nPrior to TNEDICCA®\, Yiem served as a Senior Vice President of Operational and Business Analytics at Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). Prior to D&B\, Yiem worked with Nationwide Mutual Insurance as Associate Vice President of Behavioral Analytics. \nThroughout his career\, Yiem has held varied analytical and leadership roles within the Information Service\, Insurance\, and Automotive industries. The consistent thread across his many roles has been enabling companies to utilize available data more effectively to make informed decisions and take appropriate actions. \nYiem has now embarked upon an entrepreneurial journey to apply his learning and expertise to reduce future traffic accidents through better use of data and analytics. \n*************** \nLike all TIGER  Events\, this one is FREE.  \nHybrid Format – Event Timeline: \n11:30 am – Lunch & Socializing (In-Person Participants) \n11:50 am – Connect via Zoom (Virtual Participants) \n11:55 am – Introduce Yourself to All (In-Person & Virtual Participants) \n12:05 pm – Hand-off to Tom & Yiem \n1:00 pm – Wrap \n[expire-content date=”2022-09-28 1:00pm” message=”This event has passed so registration is closed.”]\n                \n                        Name*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email*\n                            \n                        Company*Note: This Event Is Being Presented in a "Hybrid" Format*I will participate:\n								\n								In Person at Innovate New Albany\, 8000 Walton Parkway\, Suite 200 (2nd Floor) \, New Albany\, OH 43054\n							\n								\n								Virtually via Zoom\n							Consent to Use My Image & Voice*By registering for & participating in this event\, I am consenting to the recording of my image and/or voice.

SUMMARY:Improve Your Health by Focusing on Six Simple Things You're Probably Ignoring (hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid Format\nEvent Date/Time: Wed Nov 9\, 11:30 am – 1:00 pm \nPlease register by 10 pm\, Tue Nov 8.  \nSelect either “In-Person” or “Virtual via Zoom.” \nSPECIAL LOCATION: Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany\, 150 W. Main St.\, New Albany\, OH 43054 \nOn the evening of Nov 8\, we’ll send a reminder email (including Zoom link) to all who’ve registered. \n*************** \nInnovate New Albany is excited to partner with Healthy New Albany in presenting this TIGER Talk. This event resumes the sub-brand under our TIGER Talks — “Healthy Habits for Innovators.” This sub-branded series was launched in 2021. \n*************** \nAre your fingers “attached” to a keyboard several hours a day?  \nDo you spend workdays hunched in front of a screen?  \nDo you get so focused on your work that you sit without moving or even noticing how many hours have passed? \nBack pain? Neck pain? Leg pain? Or even foot pain? \nIf you can relate\, DO NOT MISS THIS EVENT! \nAt this talk\, participants will learn effective tools for understanding and managing the most common health complaints experienced by entrepreneurs and office workers who work in front of screens and keyboards for hours at a time. The focus will be on musculoskeletal problems which\, you may already know\, have a huge influence on overall health. \nThis session will include opportunities to practice easy and effective exercises which can have a surprisingly strong positive impact on reducing or preventing aches\, pains\, and limitations! Plus\, we’ll have some fun and award a few prizes! \n*************** \nWe are excited to present Dr. Doug Maxeiner who will lead this talk. Dr. Maxeiner is a Chiropractic Physician with deep interest in using innovation to solve healthcare problems experienced by huge swaths of the population in the US and beyond. His chiropractic practice has a primary focus on myofascial rehabilitation strategies\, and became a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist from the National Strength and Conditioning Association. \nDr. Maxeiner is currently offering online case reviews and management. This service is especially useful for those wanting a second opinion for treatment plans\, including possible surgical cases\, to confirm appropriate conservative options have been explored before surgical options. He also developed a diagnostic software platform\, Exam Xoom\, which helps validate a medical diagnosis based on available clinical data. (Read about the Exam Xoom business elsewhere on the Innovate New Albany website.) \nHe received his undergraduate degree in Engineering Physics from the University of Missouri St. Louis. He graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic in 2000. \n************** \nLike all TIGER  Events\, this one is FREE.  \nHybrid Format – Event Timeline: \n11:30 am – Lunch & Socializing (In-Person Participants) \n11:50 am – Connect via Zoom (Virtual Participants) \n11:55 am – Introduce Yourself to All (In-Person & Virtual Participants) \n12:05 pm – Hand-off to Dr. Doug \n1:00 pm – Wrap \n[expire-content date=”2022-11-09 1:00pm” message=”This event has passed so registration is closed.”]\n                \n                        Name*\n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    First\n                                                \n                            \n                            \n                                                    \n                                                    Last\n                                                \n                            \n                        Email*\n                            \n                        Company*Note: This Event Is Being Presented in a "Hybrid" Format*I will participate:\n								\n								In Person at Healthy New Albany (Philip Heit Center for Healthy New Albany\, 150 W.
