Lessons for Life and Business from Baseball’s Best General Manager
On stage, with a down-to-earth style, Billy Beane explores his innovative, winning style of management and leadership, which involves identifying undervalued assets to create and sustain a competitive advantage.
He shows you how to win against companies that have bigger budgets, more manpower and higher profiles than you do. Beane uses the powerful metaphor of baseball, but his genius lies in his ability to draw striking parallels to almost any industry (health care, insurance, finance, etc.)
Beane’s inspiring tale, a modern day David vs. Goliath, is an unforgettable talk, a brilliant confluence of baseball and business success — and what it really takes to succeed, and succeed big, with limited resources.
In a customizable moderated Q&A, Beane fields questions from a moderator linking his “Moneyball” lessons—wrought from his experience transforming the Oakland A’s (and professional baseball)—to the analytic and management needs of the host organization.
Regardless of industry, company size, or consumer base, Beane discusses how data—even “big data”—and analytics can boost company performance and competitive edge.
