Why You Should Hire Video Game Players March 23, 2019
Many older people have little respect for video game players, and this applies to job interviews. But many games challenge players to make economic decisions, such as using resources today or having more in the future. Some games reward cooperation and strategy evaluation--great business skills.

Testimonials

Seems no matter where I go, I hear you talking – and always doing a great job with different material well tailored to the audience. Very impressive!

Alan Shiffer, World Vision

We asked Bill Conerly to look at one of the major factors limiting the growth of our business. He pulled together data from a wide range of sources, as well as his own extensive business knowledge, to give us an insight into when conditions would improve and how we could be ready to capitalize on better times. He did so in a straight forward, easy to understand manner. A year later it was clear that things had evolved just as he had forecast. Ever since then he’s been my go-to guy on how the e…

Len Ludwig, former CEO, Vencore Capital LLC

Your talk and its message stuck with people.

David Crowell, after presentation to National Rural Electrical Cooperative Association

Bill did a great job. We look forward to a continuing relationship.

John Hamburger, Franchise Times

Bill was a great resource in helping us develop our business model and has continued to be a great advisor as we have refined it and successfully entered the marketplace.

John Courtney, CEO, NextJob, Inc.

As you know, it can be difficult to find economists who provide good substantive information who are so entertaining and engaging. I received many enthusiastic comments from members and others in attendance. I was very pleased with Dr. Conerly and have recommended him to NCSTAE, our national organization.

Molly Steckel, Idaho Telecom Alliance

AgFirst Farm Credit Bank has benefitted from Bill Conerly’s unique insights and perspectives several times over the past five years…his materials consistently cover the points that we agree on…he has been very well-received by our groups, and we look forward to having Bill with us again in the future.

Ronnie Hucks, AgFirst Farm Credit, Columbia

Thank you for a wonderful presentation. Everyone who heard your presentation was impressed with your analysis, and strong command of facts and theory. More importantly, your ability to weave together substance with humor, in a very dynamic way, meant our attendees learned and retained more information than we would have typically expected. You made economics fun and you left our members with powerful insights on trends and issues to consider as they prepare for the future.

John Aguirre, Oregon Association of Nurseries

You are a master at your craft and a favorite of our audience.

Jim Parker, UBS Financial Services

On multiple occasions we have engaged Dr. Conerly to facilitate, and more importantly, stimulate strategic planning sessions. He artfully brings the complexity of economic consequences to light, and is also is a veteran voice of objectivity. And his ability to inject humor keeps the energy and teamwork a priority!

Greg Newton, CFO, Cascade Bancorp
