Join us at the 15th Annual Meeting of the Minds as we welcome an outstanding lineup of keynote speakers who will inspire, challenge, and prepare you for the future. From the latest advancements at Sage to the transformative power of AI and foresight-driven leadership, these thought leaders bring invaluable expertise to our conference.
Every consulting, accounting, and ERP firm has dashboards, KPIs, and performance reviews. Yet performance does not actually happen during reviews. It happens in the space between them, through ongoing conversations, course corrections, and coaching moments that determine whether teams stay aligned, engaged, and consistently deliver client value.
In this keynote, Joe Rotella explores why growing firms often struggle with communication, role clarity, and scaling, and why those challenges intensify as practices expand. He introduces a practical framework for managing performance continuously by combining real-time operational data with intentional, day-to-day conversations that create clarity and accountability.
Joe also shows how the same principles that strengthen internal teams can be extended externally, helping clients use their own real-time data to improve alignment, decision-making, and results. Attendees will leave with actionable strategies they can apply immediately inside their own firms, along with new ways to elevate the value they deliver to clients.
Joe Rotella is a leading thinker and professional speaker in the areas of HR technology, social media, marketing, and web usability. Joe is a top-rated speaker for the Society of Human Resources Management (SHRM) and currently serves as Chief Value Officer for Delphia Consulting, a Human Resources and Payroll software consulting firm based in Columbus, Ohio.
