2018 Theme: "Customer-Driven DNA"

Many companies claim to be customer-focused, 
but simply limit it to customer interface and service. 


A systemic focus on customers must permeate all aspects of a company starting with the alignment of the mission and vision with customer imperatives.

  • What are your customer imperatives, and how do your offerings address them? 
  • Has your company’s mission and vision incorporated customer needs clearly and thoroughly? 
  • How well does your company deliver on your brand promise? 
  • What are the right metrics to track your customer focus? 
  • And last, but not the least, how can you measure if a customer-focused strategy is increasing customer loyalty, pricing power, sales, margins, and EBITDA? 

The Houston Strategy Forum has invited top business leaders to discuss and share ideas on how their customers drive their strategic focus and corporate DNA. Come join us with your management team to discuss and learn from each other.

Our Unique Format 
What Makes Us Different?

The Houston Strategy Forum is a highly interactive discussion forum, not a presentation forum. No speeches, no boring PowerPoint presentations. 

Our business talk show format facilitates an energetic, meaningful, and respectful exchange between our speakers and attendees. Our unscripted format often creates "insightful learning opportunities." We receive rave reviews about our format from speakers and attendees. 

To encourage an open and candid discussion we follow Chatham House rules.
