SUMMARY:From Staffing to Consulting: Ops That Make it Stick
DESCRIPTION:People\, Process & Tech for the IT firm making the leap \nMost firms don’t fail at the strategy. They fail at the execution. The leap into consulting isn’t just a sales motion – it’s an operational transformation. And the firms that get it wrong do so in the first 90 days.  \n  \nDate: Thursday\, July 9th\, 2026 \nTime: 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM ET \nSpeaker: Mark Orttung\, CEO\, Projectworks \n  \nYou’ve decided to make the move from staffing to consulting. Maybe you’ve identified your first best client\, built a repeatable offer\, created a niche area of expertise\, and probably are even winning projects. In the era of AI there is more demand for consulting work than ever before. \nBut here’s what most firms discover too late: winning consulting work and delivering it profitably are two completely different problems. \nWithout the right people structure\, processes\, and visibility in place\, margins slip. Projects run over. Delivery leads become bottlenecks. Your first clients start looking elsewhere for expansion. And the consulting practice you worked so hard to build starts to feel more like a liability than an asset. \nThat’s what this webinar is about. \nJoin Projectworks CEO Mark Orttung — who transformed Nexient from a $30M staffing firm into a $140M+ software consultancy — as he breaks down exactly what needs to be built\, in what order\, and how to avoid the operational mistakes that take down otherwise promising consulting practices. \nWe’ll walk through a real-world scenario of a firm mid-transition\, and show you what it looks like to get the foundation right — across people\, process\, and technology. \nYou’ll walk away knowing: \n\nThe three things that break first when staffing firms start delivering consulting work — and how to get ahead of them\nHow to take your ideal client and build the right offer and team around them\nWhat your org actually needs to look like to sell and deliver a team\, not just a person\nThe people\, processes\, and tech every new consultancy needs to get started\nThe five consulting foundations every practice needs in place from day one\n\n  \nRegister Here \nCan’t attend live? Register anyway and we will send you a recording after the webinar!

SUMMARY:Leadership in Action — Building Teams That Scale
DESCRIPTION:Part 3:  \nDate: Tuesday\, July 14th\, 2026 \nTime: 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM ET \nSpeaker: Barb Bruno\, CEO\, Good as Gold Training \nStrong leadership frameworks matter—but execution is where results are realized. In this live panel discussion\, executive leaders from IT & Engineering staffing firms will share how they have applied leadership principles inside their own organizations. \nModerated by Barb Bruno\, this session moves beyond theory and into real-world application. Panelists will discuss how they identified future leaders\, made critical promotion decisions\, and built leadership depth that reduced executive dependency and supported sustainable growth. \nKey Takeaways \n\nLeadership Development in Practice\nBuilding Leadership Depth Over Time\nLessons Learned from Industry Peers\nHow Leadership Teams Enable Scalability\nExecutive Perspective You Can Apply Immediately\n\n  \nRegister Here \nCan’t attend? Register anyway and we will send you a recording after the webinar! \n  \nSeries Overview\nStrong leadership is the foundation of every scalable\, profitable IT & Engineering staffing firm. As organizations grow\, executive leadership teams face increasingly complex decisions about who should lead\, who is ready for expanded responsibility\, and how to build a leadership bench that supports long-term success. \nThis three-part webinar series is designed for owners\, CEOs\, and C-suite executives of IT & Engineering staffing firms who want greater clarity and confidence in identifying their leadership pipeline. Rather than relying solely on performance metrics or tenure\, participants will learn what truly predicts leadership success—and how to recognize those indicators early. \nAcross the series\, participants will gain practical insight into the DNA of effective IT & Engineering staffing leaders\, how future leaders demonstrate readiness before they ever have a title\, and how to make promotion decisions that strengthen culture\, accountability\, and growth. \nParticipants will also receive a follow-up worksheet to help evaluate current team members or internal candidates before promoting them into leadership roles. \n
