Mingle. Make new friends.\nMany leaders feel trapped in nonstop firefighting\, with days dictated by urgent emails\, crises\, and shifting priorities. Control over their schedule is limited\, stress is high\, and there is little space left for strategic thinking or vision. Despite everyone “solving problems\,” the same issues keep returning in new forms. \nThis TIGER Talk is designed to help leaders break that cycle by shifting from constant problem-solving to true problem prevention. You will learn simple\, practical ways to spot patterns early\, address root influences\, and design processes and systems that reduce recurring issues instead of feeding them. The focus is on freeing up time\, energy\, and attention for what really matters\, while developing problem preventers. \nAttendees will leave with a clearer sense of control over their work life\, a practical lens for preventing recurring problems\, and at least one concrete change they can implement immediately to reduce workplace stress and create more time for strategic thought and long-term vision. \n*************** \nDr. Ted Sun is an internationally experienced organizational strategist and leadership expert who equips leaders to break free from nonstop firefighting and lead with greater foresight\, clarity\, and control. Drawing on two terminal degrees in psychology and business management\, plus more than two decades of work with leaders across business\, education\, and global institutions\, he helps organizations shift from reactive problem-solving to systemic problem prevention. \nDr. Sun has led large-scale startup and transformation efforts in higher education\, including building two universities from the ground up and helping shape additional academic institutions through strategy\, organizational design\, accreditation\, and global partnerships. His practical\, research-informed approach empowers leaders to reduce recurring issues\, lower workplace stress\, and create more time for strategic thought and long-term vision. \nA published author and featured expert in outlets including Forbes\, NBC\, and ABC\, Dr. Sun brings both depth and practical insight to the challenges leaders face today. \n*************** \nLike all TIGER Events\, this talk is FREE.\n11:00 am – Coffee\, Snacks\, & Socializing \n11:15 am – Lunch & More Socializing \n11:45 am – Introduce yourself to our crowd (10 seconds please) \n12:05 pm – Hand-off to Dr. Ted \n1:00 pm – Wrap & Resume Socializing \n\n\n \n Name*\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Email*\n \n Company*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.

Align Your Data\, Enable Your Stakeholders\, Maximize Your Profits. DESCRIPTION:7775 Walton Pkwy\, Suite 100\nNew Albany\, OH 43054\nFriday 8/28/26\, 11:00 am – 1:00 pm\nBe ready to interact with our featured speaker\, Christian Steinert\, and your fellow participants. \nEat. Mingle. Make new friends.\nHere’s the uncomfortable truth: companies are sprinting toward AI without a handle on the fundamentals. \nData sits at the heart of everything in business. You can gauge how mature a company is just by examining the quality of data generated throughout their daily processes. Who’s responsible for updating a prospect’s sales status? Who ensures a new lead gets entered into the CRM with complete information—First & Last Name\, Address\, Date of Birth\, Email\, and Budget? You’d be surprised how few companies consistently do this well. \nThese companies try to build AI and predictive models on top of sales data that’s missing emails\, budget values\, and locations. As much as you want to use this data to find more customers\, you can’t—because the historical information simply isn’t complete. \nIn this TIGER Talk\, Christian Steinert reveals how to sell and then operate a data team that improves a company’s bottom line. Drawing from years in the trenches implementing data solutions across multiple industries—from manufacturing and commercial real estate to fintech\, telehealth\, and fast food—Christian will share real data war stories: what works\, what fails\, and what creates a healthy balance of ROI-producing data products paired with data quality and minimized technical debt. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nHow to pitch data as an ROI-driven solution in the enterprise\nHow to manage a data team that keeps data quality\, ROI\, and strategic partnership at the forefront\nWhere to start (hint: follow the money)\, how to pitch the vision\, and how to operate a data team that earns executive buy-in—delivering ROI in months\, not years\n\nAttendees will leave with an actionable roadmap and high-level steps for ensuring a successful data transformation. The roadmap template will be available for download to all attendees. \n*************** \nChristian Steinert has almost a decade of experience in data analytics engineering. He began his career at Vertiv (Columbus\, OH) as a Channel Marketing Analyst before serving as Lead Data Analyst at Updox (Dublin\, OH) pre- to post-acquisition\, and as Senior Data Engineer at JLL‘s markets division with LaSalle Investment Management (Chicago\, IL)\, building his expertise across both startup and Fortune 500 environments. \nAfter six years in the data space\, Christian became Founder & Chief Data Strategist at Steinert Analytics\, a premiere data consulting firm in Columbus specializing in healthcare. \n*************** \nLike all TIGER Events\, this talk is FREE.\n11:00 am – Coffee\, Snacks\, & Socializing \n11:15 am – Lunch & More Socializing \n11:45 am – Introduce yourself to our crowd (10 seconds please) \n12:05 pm – Hand-off to Christian \n1:00 pm – Wrap & Resume Socializing \n\n \n Name*\n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n \n Email*\n \n Company*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.
