(PRNewsChannel) / Orlando, Fla. / It may sound counterintuitive but experts say the current economic downturn may actually be a blessing in disguise for business owners.  When the best and brightest executives gather at Inc.’s GROWCO Conference, March 18-20 in Orlando, instead of focusing on survival, one expert will instead zero in on competition.

Jim Champy is the chairman of Perot Systems’ consulting practice, where he provides strategic guidance to the company’s team of business and management consultants. He says there is no better time than the present to be aggressive and grow your business.

“Times like this, when there are a lot of challenges, these are the best times for companies to change the way they operate,” says Champy, the best-selling author of five books on topics ranging from corporate re-engineering to business leadership.  “These are the times when you can actually make a case for change.”

Inc.’s GROWCO Conference has showcased some of the brightest and most forward-thinking executives in business. First introduced in the 1980s as the Growing the Company Conference, the GROWCO Conference harvests the rich network of seasoned executives and inspiration thought leaders. Drawing upon Inc.’s decades of in-depth and on-edge business reporting, the GROWCO Conference is an invaluable opportunity to gain real, practicable advice on how to grow a business.

At this year’s conference, Champy will discuss traits that highly successful businesses share.  Drawing upon his research on more than 1,000 high-growth companies, Champy will outline innovative ways to grow a business while your competitors play it safe.

“You can’t go into a trench right now, you can’t adopt a bunker mentality,” says Champy. “You have to stay aggressive in order to hold on to your market and it’s even possible to grow your market share.”

Geared to company owners and executives, Inc.’s GROWCO Conference targets two groups of businesses: smaller organizations that want to move up in market share and respectability, and larger companies that want to establish steady results while distinguishing themselves amongst their competitors.

A world-renowned expert on leadership and organizational change, Champy brings a practical message of proactive business growth to Inc.’s GROWCO Conference, March 18-20 in Orlando.
