NEGOTIATIONS WORKSHOP with JIM OLSON
January 9, 2017 @ 8:30 am - 11:15 am
“Lodi Winegrapes: Negotiations Concepts & Business Strategies for a Profitable Future” with Jim Olson
The Lodi winegrape region is quickly gaining recognition. The art of negotiating grape contracts is crucial to capturing the value of our recent successes.
This workshop will be led by the esteemed and highly successful Jim Olson, Founder and CEO of WestShore Management Group, who just so happens to also be an advocate of Lodi Zinfandel. Jim is a guest lecturer at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business and Executive Education program, where he lectures on leadership, entrepreneurship, and creating and sustaining growth. Jim is also a guest lecturer at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management and was recently named their 2016 Teacher of the Year. In Jim’s words, “there is a tremendous opportunity to marry some strategic thinking with solid negotiating skills to help Lodi grape growers to earn the value for their fruit that they deserve.” Jim has agreed to host this two-hour workshop for us in Lodi, where the first hour will involve short-term negotiations strategies tailored to the grape industry (contracts, etc.) and the second hour will be an interactive business strategy development for our grape industry as a whole.
