Economic Outlook: Building a Headquarters Economy

February 15, 2023 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM (CST)

Description


REGISTRATION CLOSED - Pay at door

Join us for the 2023 Economic Outlook: Building a Headquarters Economy program, headlined by Myles Shaver, a Professor of Strategic Management and Entrepreneurship at the University of Minnesota’s Carlson School of Management where he holds the Curtis L. Carlson Chair in Corporate Strategy.

Shaver's book, Headquarters Economy – Managers, Mobility & Migration, is relevant to the economy in central Wisconsin in several ways. First, it underscores the competitive nature of talent attraction and retention, especially as larger metro areas hold somewhat of an advantage due to population density and greater community amenities that smaller cities and communities cannot offer. Today, companies either offer remote working opportunities or establish locations where the talent they seek is located.

Communities in central Wisconsin seek to attract and retain talent to support our incumbent companies with the hope of attracting new firms. Placemaking is front of mind, building the magnetic community needed to attract and retain workforce. Furthermore, attracting and retaining skilled management supports the growth and innovation within companies and serves as an opportunity for innovation and entrepreneurship. 

Chamber President and CEO Dave Eckmann previews this event in a recent 2-Minute Drill episode:

The Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce and Greater Wausau Prosperity Partnership, through execution of the Greater Wausau Economic Development Strategic Plan, focus on three goals: talent, innovative companies, and placemaking. For our community to compete we must build the place which attracts and retains talent to support our innovative companies.
