Keynote Address Monday June 7, 2010, 7:00am - 7:50am



Peter W. Schutz
Former President and CEO Porsche AG Worldwide, Stuttgart, Germany 

We can all be thankful for Mr. Schutz – he is accredited with saving the exalted 911 and perhaps the entire Porsche organization – who can imagine a world without Porsches!  

After graduating as an engineer, Peter spent more than 30 years in executive positions with Caterpillar Tractor, Cummins Engine and Deutz Engine. Then he got the call from Ferry Porsche. Porsche (the company) was in trouble. For the first time in its history the company was loosing money due to quality issues and a lack of unity among its various operating divisions. For the first time, Mr. Porsche tapped an American to run the German performance automobile manufacturer – Mr. Schutz was selected from an elite group of twelve candidates for the position.  

Schutz responded to the challenges rapidly. The quality issues involving the 911 model which was scheduled for cancelation were not addressed. Faced with the loss of the quintessential Porsche, moral was low. The racing team felt they had no hope of winning with modified 928’s. With one stroke Schutz changed everything. While sitting in the office of his chief engineer he noticed a chart with the line indicating 911 production stopping… he picked up a marker, extended the 911's line off the end of the chart and onto the wall. Quality problems were corrected immediately. Instead of cancelation, dramatic improvements were made to the 911. Porsches won races. And sold more cars. Close to twice as many under the Schutz watch. Revenues more than quadrupled.  

Among his many awards, Peter is the recipient of the Henry Heald Award (other recipients include Ted Turner, Bill Hewlitt, Edward Teller and Buckminster Fuller) given to honor those who have exemplified exceptional ethics and business practices in their field. He is the author of the book “The Driving Force; Getting Extraordinary Results with Ordinary People” and has spoken to more than 400 business groups world-wide. 

Noble Financial Capital Markets is pleased to have Mr. Schutz bring his unique perspective on business to ONTRACK 2010.

Monday June 7, 2010, 7:15am - Tuesday June 8, 2010, 4:15pm

 
Public Company Presentations / One-on-Ones
Expect the same disciplined approach to the organization of scheduled meetings as we've exhibited in the past - five public companies will present simultaneously in 25-minute increments throughout the two-day conference. In addition, one-on-one meetings will be scheduled throughout the two-day Conference.




Back ONTRACK - Are you ready for some good, old-fashioned fun?

Monday June 7, 2009, 6:30pm - 10:00pm (Meet at Victory Lane at 6:15pm)
Work hard play hard. We believe business and pleasure mix quite well. And those who have attended our conferences will attest that we have plenty of both. Five simultaneous tracts of presentations, interactive panel debates, and one-on-ones from early morning until late afternoon. And then it's time for a little fun... like bull-riding at the Seminole Hard Rock Tequila Ranch, or joining Richard Petty at Lowe's Motor Speedway for a ride around the track at 180mph, or partying with the world's #1 Beatle act direct from Tokyo, or taking a British cab to the deck of the USS Yorktown and flying via helicopter around Charleston Bay, gallivanting in the desert amidst explosions and helicopters - in a fleet of Hummers, or a full blown Austin Powers-esk disco party...  half the fun is trying to guess what we'll come up with next. Whatever it is, you can be sure it's something you won't want to miss!
