Wayne Messick has spent his entire career researching family-owned businesses. He has spent over a quarter of a century helping the owners of privately-held companies develop management, transition and management succession strategies. This in-depth experience gives him an insightful understanding as to what makes business owners tick.
When the dot-com boom hit, it became clear to Wayne that no one was addressing the needs of the average family business owner. Family businesses - which make up most of the businesses in America - are innately different from the start-ups, entrepreneurs, and Fortune 500 companies that were getting all the attention.
Current Business Activities
I spend considerable time each year speaking to groups of business owners at their annual trades association meetings - to understand their concerns about the impact of change on their business and how to deal with it. As a publisher I have recently published "Doing it Right: Realize Your Company's Potential" which combines exclusive interviews with business owners and the insights of the author, Daniel Elash, Ph.D. The balance of my time is spent working with our team at www.iBizResources.com to build our content of valuable information for businesses.
Business and Professional Experience
While not all family business owners wish to embrace change and the integration of technology in their business, they must in order to survive for the long term. Unfortunately, small business owners are rarely able to find resources that understand their goals and needs.
A Consultant to Management, Graduate Business Coach, and Certified Mediator specializing in One to One consultations and peer group facilitation - Wayne helps companies develop successful business strategegies for the current and future generation.
Books and Manuals Written
Switching from co-author to publisher, we have recently published a landmark book for businesses based on over 2 dozen exclusive interviews with business owners who are taking advantage of strategies previously available only to large public corporations. Previously I co-authored; The Family Business PlanMaker 1989, and Passing Down the Farm, the OTHER Farm Crisis, 1986.
Association Membership
Global Electronic Technology ContactX Association and the New York New Media Association.
Education Background
Since graduation from Ohio State University I have continued a path of life long learning attending advanced study programs at the Academy of Family Mediators, Mediation Training Institute, and the American College to name a few. In order to remain revelant constant study is a requirement. I have even attended trade association certification programs to understand my clients' businesses better.
Articles Published
During the last three years I have written numerous articles that were published in our newsletter (it's good to be the boss)and which were published on several trade assocation web sites and journals as well as syndicated by ScreamingMedia.com across their network of publications. Before we owned our own newsletter I co-authored over 75 articles on management and ownership transition in publications such as; Automotive Glass Magazine, Successful Farming Magazine, OFP Journal, Ohio Grocers Association, Ohio Farm Bureau Journal, etc.
