The fastest grow happens when focusing on customer value

Participium was a guest at Forte with share#square on 23 October, where managing partner Jan Lagast explained the way Forte has been assisting the growth of companies for years. In essence, it comes down to this: if an organization from the highest top in the decision hierarchy, focusses on customer value, then growth can be achieved more easily. In fact, if the organization continues to maintain that focus and regularly communicates with its customers, then growth becomes almost self-evident. Forte’s earliest customers prove this case, because they have succeeded in realizing growth year after year.

Share # square itself is also starting to take off. With more than 30 participants, the place was stacked at Forte. It is becoming an interesting network.

Next year Participium is planning to have four editions. More news later on.

An effective way to growth

On 23/10 Participium will be a guest of the management consultants at Forte. Jan Lagast will explain how a company can (re)connect with growth. A fascinating discourse of an hour and a half, with plenty of cases from Jan’s own experience.

Tuesday 30/9 Participium is a guest at businessrooms in Zottegem

On Tuesday 30 September, our first share#square takes place. Guest speaker is Frank Demets, former editor-in-chief of newspaper ‘De Tijd’ and strategic communication advisor at Febelfin. Years of talking with business leaders and entrepreneurs, helped Frank to build a strong vision on corporate finance. And as a keen observer, he knows how to put his finger on the tender spot. On the other hand, he also has suggestions and advice on how companies in Flanders may look forward to a bright future in these tougher (but all the more fascinating) times.

This first share#square takes place in the business center where Participium also has its registered office. BusinessRooms Zottegem receives us in a homely atmosphere, which characterizes the building since it was recently converted into an office. It is located in Zottegem, a 10-minute walk from the station and easily accessible from the N42 towards Geraardsbergen.
