Participating in the CRT allows its members to give back to the community, and supporting the CRT is a way for Fish & Richardson to do the same.

The CRT input was extremely valuable, but more valuable was the process they put the team through. You are forced to think differently, while reexamining parts of your business and recognizing where change within the organization can make a big difference.

Working with CRT was the best business decision I have ever made. These are not a bunch of retired ‘good old boys’. These are successful executives who have a wealth of knowledge and experience to share. The advice they provide is relevant, current, a

The time I spent with my CRT mentors was very rewarding. Their advice was invaluable and covered everything from guidance on fundamental management issues to the detailed terms of a complex technology transfer deal. I was truly touched by the spirit

Talk to CRT if you want advice from over-qualified, unbiased people. But be willing to listen. If you’re not going to listen, don’t waste your time. I know it sounds too good to be true, but I’m here to tell you that I couldn’t have hand picked better

These guys are like angels that dropped down from above. We will look back 10 years from now and realize our success came from the direction and guidance that the CRT members provided us for free.

Working with the CRT allowed us to clearly define and articulate our vision for the company in a living document that we can continue to use. I would recommend this process to any company that wants to challenge its direction and is looking for sound fee

Working with CRT is a once in a lifetime opportunity for an entrepreneur.

There are a lot of people that need CRT’s mentorship, but they either don’t know it, let their egos stand in the way, or think they don’t have time for it. CRT helped us move through an important phase of growth more rapidly and less painfully than we e

By working with the CRT members, our company received priceless information. This kind of information would have cost us thousands of dollars if we had hired consultants.

Set your ego aside and open yourself up to the possibilities. Our problems and the corresponding solutions were right in front of us. We just needed an outside perspective to help us find them.

I found my experience with CRT to be invaluable.

Being in business for many years, I have read many business books, listened to many motivational speakers, and gone to lots of business seminars. Oftentimes, I was energized and motivated, and ready to go after these exercises. Unfortunately, it always seems that the half-life of such benefits is very short. Old habits come back very quickly.

The CRT process is an entirely different thing. I have never done a more comprehensive analysis and evaluation of my business as we did in this process. I have a much better understanding of what makes my business tick and what makes me tick. Two years out, I feel that I am still getting a lot from the process, and rather than decreasing in value, it actually increases over time as plans come to fruition and results are there.

I joined CRT because I have valued all my mentors and supporters in the past

I have no doubt that working with CRT will be absolutely one of the best experiences you will have in your business life.

I would recommend the CRT experience to any entrepreneur who is given the opportunity.

“The engagement with CRT provided a clear view of the metrics required to attain our goals – and it remains a beacon to guide us there.

It is great to know that these successful entrepreneurs are giving back to San Diego through the process of helping others for simply the satisfaction of having done so.

CRT has some of the smartest leaders in San Diego. It should cost a small fortune to get an hour of serious scrutiny and advice about your business from this group. Lucky for us entrepreneurs, they are willing to help for free. CRT is a no-brainer.

The Chairmen’s RoundTable is an incredible San Diego resource. Going through the mentoring process provided significant value and I feel very lucky to have been selected to be a part of it.

I wanted to express my gratitude for all that CRT has done for Aquaneering. You have opened our thinking about how to run the company better in many ways, and have exposed us to some important resources, which have in turn exposed us to additional resources. We have a better understanding to scrutinize our financials, we have a new CPA who is very in-tune with manufacturing, and we have comprised an advisory board to help us with growing the company.

The time and energy that you have invested to assist us with improvements will not be forgotten and we truly appreciate the expertise and experience that you have shared. (Wendy Porter-Francis, Vice President)

I have grown both professionally and personally from my CRT experience.

CRT took the time to learn our business and help us move forward at All Access Rentals to become a better company. They listened to our issues, found ways to solve them, and helped us become more profitable while continuing to grow and support our customers. The team CRT assigned to us at All Access Rentals consisted of highly trained leaders that showed us the direction to take our company and gave us a detailed plan on how to achieve our goals. I would highly recommend—actually I believe it should be mandatory—if you have a good company and want to make it extraordinary then CRT is the place to start. At All Access Rentals we will be indebted to CRT forever.

“Working with the CRT gave us the focus we needed for continued success.

“I’m not sure we’d be where we are today without their (CRT) guidance…
”

The process the CRT members put us through opened our eyes enabling us to see an end result and then gave us the management skills to make the hard decisions that changed the direction of the company and is the reason we are still in business and thriving.

“This is an opportunity to engage some of the best business minds in the area. They have no hidden agenda but to help your company succeed. If given the chance, why would you hesitate?
”

You should take the opportunity to learn whenever it’s offered. This whole experience has been an incredibly valuable gift to our company.

I joined CRT because in retirement I wanted to keep active in the business community with both new relationships and challenging projects. I taught in the College of Extended Studies at SDSU for 16 years and found teaching kept me current on the business world, and taught me as much as I was teaching. I believe CRT will do the same. With my professional career exposing me to so many different types of businesses, I can bring a broad range of experience to different organizations.

I joined CRT because I loved the idea of using all the experience I had to “give back” to the next generation of CEO’s.

I joined CRT because I love helping small businesses.
