West Monroe Partners Leader Featured on The Growth Strategist

PR Log (Press Release) – Oct 29, 2009 – West Monroe Partners, a full-service business and technology consultancy, today announced that President and CEO Dean Fischer will be the featured guest on an upcoming episode of The Growth Strategist, a nationally known Internet radio program hosted by Aldonna Ambler.

The show will be broadcast live on November 3, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Standard Time (8:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time) on the VoiceAmerica Business Channel (www.business.voiceamerica.com). Fischer will discuss talent management as a strategy for propelling growth in today’s environment.

“In the consulting profession, our product really is our people. Having the right talent is imperative for delivering exceptional service and building enduring client relationships, but it’s no secret that we operate in a very competitive market,” said Fischer. “The future growth depends on the Millennial generation, whose goals and expectations differ from those of more senior employees. One my priorities been to develop differentiated approaches to recruiting, compensation, equity development, and culture—strategies that not only are essential to maintaining a strong workforce, but that can help make a difference in the careers and lives of our young consultants.”

Fischer has overseen the growth of West Monroe Partners from a start-up consultancy in 2002 to a full-service consultancy named to the Inc. 5000 and the Crain’s Fast 50 for its high growth rate. He is recognized as a recruiter, leader, teacher and motivator of people—playing a central role in defining and maintaining a unique, people-oriented culture that has earned numerous accolades, along with a strong client and employee base. Fischer spent the majority of his career with Arthur Andersen, where he started new practices, launched successful new service offerings, and held various local, national, and global leadership positions.

The Growth Strategist airs live every Tuesday at 11 a.m. ET and runs for one hour.  It is interactive in that listeners can call or email questions to the host or guest.  Because shows are also available on-demand online and for free, Internet radio is a fast-growing and convenient medium for busy executives to gain information and insight.  The Growth Strategist™ is a peer-to-peer-to-peer program which rotates through various industries, geographic locations, and strategies, so one week a retailer in Singapore who has grown their business through franchising will be interviewed and the next show may feature a manufacturer from Kansas City that has grown through acquisitions. Each show starts with the equivalent of a mini teleseminar providing 4-5 success tips about the growth strategy-of-the-week.

“My show speaks directly to CEOs of fast-growth midmarket companies ($20-200 million) about growth strategies, moving past plateaus, what to do next while Achieving Accelerated Growth With Sustained Profitability®,” says Ambler.  “I invite guests from diverse industries, backgrounds, geography and philosophies to share how, when and why they are where they are today and how many speed bumps they hit on their journey.”
