Rebuilding the Plane While Flying It

Tele-Works, Inc.

Blacksburg, VA

Building a business is tough. Rebuilding a business can be even tougher. Four years ago, Tele-Works was at a crossroads. It could continue on a conservative path with its known business model or embark on a new strategy with greater risk and larger upside. Tele-Works chose the latter. This long established business with 30 employees and almost 200 customers has rebuilt itself from the ground up while continuing to support its existing customer base. Please join us on August 19th to hear from Tele-Works CEO, John Schott, as he describes the lessons learned and successes.

Discussion Points and Take-Aways:
  1. Hear how Tele-Works reinvented its core business from a “do anything” mentality to a laser focused product-based business.
  2. Find out how Tele-Works was able to add value to its customers, maximize its recurring revenue, and reduce customer attrition.
  3. Hear how Tele-Works embraced new technologies and repositioned itself in the marketplace to improve its competitive position.
  4. Learn how Tele-Works used Scrum to reinvent its technology teams, become more productive, and better inform key product decisions.
