Chief Executive Network’s CEO Speaks to The Academy for Chief Executives

September 20, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Bob Grabill, President & CEO of the Chief Executive Network, recently made a presentation entitled “What Every CEO Needs to Know about Differentiation” to The Academy for Chief Executives in London, England.

In his well received presentation, Grabill focused on the straightforward methods of differentiating a company from its competitors, in clear terms that both clients and prospective clients would embrace.

“In my 12 years as Chairman of The Academy for Chief Executives, we have had hundreds of speakers speak to our CEO groups. Bob’s presentation on differentiation was one of the top five and our members rated it a 9.66 on a scale of 10! His talk was rich in its depth and practical applications for our CEO’s. Moreover, his subject manner certainly crosses international boundaries,” said Brian Chernett, Chairman & CEO, The Academy for Chief Executives.

“The world is truly flat! Based upon my discussion with CEO’s from Great Britain, the need for differentiation in Europe is just as great as in the U.S. They are dealing with the same global economy which we are in the States, as well as the same attempts to commoditize products worldwide,” said Bob Grabill, President and CEO, Chief Executive Network.
