Ken Schmidt Former Director of Communications Strategy Harley-Davidson Motor Company Washington , D . C .
Make Some Noise : Open the Throttle and Dominate Your Marketplace Ken Schmidt has a fascinating story to tell of how businesses of any size and scope can – by focusing on understanding and harnessing the most basic drivers of human behavior – improve their competitiveness and avoid margin-killing commoditization in even the most difficult marketing environments . As the former director of communications for Harley-Davidson Motor Company , Ken played an active role in one of the most celebrated turnarounds in corporate history – and got paid to ride motorcycles . The road to building a fanatically vocal customer base , creating a passionately loyal corporate culture , and developing leaders who inspire and motivate starts here . Ken will challenge us to consider what we are willing to do today that is different from what we did yesterday .
