What’s Next?
Charles E. “Gus” Whalen, Chairman
Warren Featherbone Company, Gainesville
In its 126-year history, Warren companies have been active in
manufacturing, agriculture, publishing, philanthropy, and banking. Gus will
address “What’s Next?” as he paints a larger picture of corporate transformation
that includes adapting to change, innovation, and investment in people. He will
illustrate that the future of organizations – including ours – is determined by
our DNA – who we are, and not just what we’ve always done. With the dramatic
changes in the financial services industry impacting our evolution, it couldn’t
hurt to have an enlightened glimpse of “What’s Next” for us all.
