IMA Financial Group, Inc. on LinkedIn: IMA New York has officially moved into our largest East Coast office in… (2024)

Yesterday we hosted an Intimate Club Dinner in New York with some of our key clients in NYC and people from some of the most innovative corporations globally to discuss about innovation, corporate venturing and corporate development.Highlights:- 2023 was slower than usual given the downturn and the uncertainty. 2024 seems to be a year with increasing activity although people do not expect to go back to the old levels- External innovation (via partnership, investment or acquisition) remains to be a key strong channel to keep up with what is happening in the market, explore new spaces (adjacent and non-adjacent) and even to strengthen the core business - Alignment with and involvement with the business units when doing external innovation is one of the critical success factors Do you agree with those?PS: more dinners happening this year. If you want us to select your city, ping me and we will chat!

This is so true! I have members tell me all the time that they learn so much from talking through the decisions, opportunities, and challenges other members are working on. These conversations get them thinking and planning for "what if" scenarios they may not have considered.Because we meet every month, and have members from different industries, these conversations are intentional. They don't have to depend on just happening upon a discussion at a business or networking event. This is how #Vistage helps keep members ahead of the curve.

Fifty years ago, Jones Day recognized that building a truly national firm was the most effective way to meet the needs of a rapidly growing client base. In this short video, current and former Jones Day partners talk about how the successful expansion to Los Angeles in 1973, viewed as bold, disruptive, and transformational at the time, helped establish the template for the collaborative One Firm Worldwide model that remains today. https://ow.ly/LxiS50PItZU
