Bob Tomasko's talks have been used by organizers of industry and professional conferences to set the keynote theme for the event. He also also served as a speaker at plenary sessions with audiences numbering in the several thousands. These have included talks about ways to prepare for deregulation and new competition for the Edison Electric Institute, the Food Marketing Institute and the Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association. At an annual Newspaper Association of America convention he split the keynote role with the incoming chairman of the association. The chairman, a CEO of a major media corporation, spoke of the need for efficiency and cost cutting. Bob Tomasko's talk - a call for ongoing attention to building the industry's future through growth - was used to complement the first speech, and to stimulate debate among those attending about the need to keep long term visions alive while coping with a turbulent business downturn. As the closing speaker at a "Growth Summit" organized by the Grocery Manufacturers of America, Bob Tomasko joined speakers such as the CEO of Kraft Foods and the leader of McKinsey's global growth practice in urging America's consumer goods makers to pay more attention to growth than to cost-cutting, merging and restructuring. His talk was the highest rated at the conference. He has talked about the organization changes needed to compete in the NAFTA-era to business groups in both Canada and Mexico - as well as in Brazil and Chile - and has also reviewed the challenges of globalization for Belgium's INSEAD Alumni, Singapore's Institute of Management and South Africa's Institute of Personnel Management. The American Management Association, Conference Board, Planning Forum, President's Association, Public Relations Society of America, and Human Resource Planning Society are among those groups that use Bob Tomasko's speeches to keep their members abreast of the latest thinking on growth, organization change and the proven techniques that can bring them about. Portugal Telecom asked Bob Tomasko to kick-off the annual conference of its 2000 managers with a talk about the ideas in his latest book, "Go For Growth", and the Senior Executives Association used him to keynote their annual meeting with a talk about alternatives to downsizing. Bob Tomasko is also used as a guest speaker at customer conferences and an idea stimulator at internal management meetings. |
