Setting a growth target is one thing. Having confidence in how you'll achieve it is another.

As 2027 approaches, business leaders need to think beyond the numbers they want to hit.

Where will growth come from? What could stand in the way? And what decisions need to happen now to create momentum heading into the new year?

Steve Hoeft and the Pivotal Advisors team are looking ahead to these important questions at our November Masterclass, Launch and Stay Ahead in 2027.

Join us as we explore the economic insights, growth signals, and decisions that drive performance.

Before you put AI to work, you need to get the data right.

If you’re leading a manufacturing organization and figuring out where AI fits into your operation, make time for this conversation.

Economic uncertainty isn't just something to watch. It's something to plan for.

As businesses look toward 2027, leaders are facing important questions about where to invest, how to grow, and which opportunities deserve their attention.

The challenge isn't predicting every change. It's recognizing the signals that matter and making informed decisions as conditions evolve.

Join Steve Hoeft and Pivotal Advisors on November 12 for Launch and Stay Ahead in 2027, an in-person Masterclass exploring the economic insights, growth signals, and decisions that could shape performance in the coming year.

Everyone wants to talk about what AI can do.

But what happens when the data behind it isn’t reliable?

On October 13, Manufacturers Connect is bringing manufacturing leaders together for Get the Data Right & Then Put AI to Work, a practical conversation about building the data foundation needed to make AI useful in manufacturing.

Pivotal Advisors is proud to support the event and the Minnesota manufacturing community.

If AI is part of the conversation at your organization, this is a great opportunity to learn, connect with other manufacturing leaders, and explore what needs to happen before you put it to work.
