Blanchard Named as Conference Keynoter for 2008
Ken Blanchard, best-selling co-author of The One Minute Manager and The One Minute Apology, will be kicking off The Pike Ascent Conference to be held in Minneapolis in 2008.
“It's exciting to have Ken and the Ken Blanchard Companies be a part of our 2008 conference on many levels,” said Bob Pike, chairman and founder of The Bob Pike Group. ”First, Ken and I have been friends for more than 20 years. Because of that, I have seen his commitment to the same values that we have at The Bob Pike Group— especially adding value and making a difference. Second, his unique storytelling ability makes him one of the best keynote speakers I have ever heard. Third, his commitment to challenging and equipping people to lead at a higher level—to serve and support rather than be served—is exactly what we need to be doing in our organizations if we are to reach our highest potential.”
Having the Blanchard companies be a part of next year’s conference is the first announcement of the exciting events being planned for next year. The Pike Ascent will be held in Minneapolis September 28 through October 3, 2008. Reserve the dates!

Sustaining the Impact of Training Training must be a process rather than a stand alone event in order to create long term impact. The Bob Pike Group has taught this for years and it’s a philosophy shared by the Ken Blanchard Companies.
At the 2008 BPG Training and Performance Solutions Conference, M.J. Coulson of the Ken Blanchard Companies will present a session on sustaining learning’s impact long after the training is over. “Our process ensures that we secure top management buy in, create strategic integration between training and your business issues, set the context and create relevance for the training to take hold, and spend considerable time on follow up and reinforcement in order to cement new behaviors and skills,” said a Blanchard spokesperson.
