Terry Jones
Founder and Former President of Travelocity.Com and Authority on Innovation

Programs:
Terry has a new program on Entrepreneurship...perfect for real estate groups, financial groups and franchises - people who find themselves competing against one another but yet under the same company. As Terry created Travelocity.com out of Sabre, he has first hand knowledge of the challenges these types of groups face and great ideas to help them further the success of their own businesses. A blurb follows.
The story of the entrepreneur in the garage is well known. But how does one build a startup inside a huge corporation? How do you successfully innovate in large and sometimes bureaucratic organizations?
Terry started Travelocity.com as a department inside the multi billion dollar Sabre Corporation. Starting with an idea and a team of ten he grew the department into a three billion dollar public company with over 35 million members and 1200 employees.
Intrapreneurs face different challenges than entrepreneurs. Competitors are as likely to be internal as external. In this world who you report to can be as important to an intrapreneur as building a brand is to the entrepreneur. His story of how one navigates the corporate power structure to turn an idea into a company has applicability for anyone with a new product or a new idea.
Of course he continues to address the topics of leadership, e-commerce, branding, marketing and innovation in the future of business.
