Gary Patterson Biography

Discover Where Bernie Madoff Is Lurking In Your Business! What Bernie Madoff did to innocent investors was criminal. What your audience is doing to themselves is unconscionable.

Insider Gary Patterson challenges C-level executives to expose their books, reveal their true company financial health, and avoid disaster, with seven secrets!

While the creative financing elephant has arrived - courtesy of Toyota, Lehman, Goldman, Greece, Madoff, and others - what is most disturbing is that executives are using "cooked numbers" to make critical decisions. Not only are executives making bad decisions, costing $300,000 to $3 million or more, many executives delude themselves into thinking their balance sheets and financial statements present an actual company financial picture.

Through Gary's insight, you will command your audience's attention and deliver them from the deep and dark chasm of creative financing and Solipcism. You can love him or hate him, but one thing is sure, you can't ignore him when you want to control your financial future!

Risks are what really go wrong when you are not looking: stupid things like bounced checks, losing your best customers or best people when you are blindsided. He helps you create peripheral vision in your business so you are not blindsided. You need a perspective of business under the microscope and to have lived to tell the tale. (Audiences can expect a color commentary of insights which give a common sense approach to what people make complex, as companies grow, to solve problems easier than you think.)

Gary W. Patterson has learned one thing from analyzing and helping over 200 companies: "What You Don't Know About Your Business Can Cost You Your Business." Sticking out your balance sheet and coughing gets you what you need to know in time for needed procedures which can mean the difference between life and death, in your product, business, department, life or job.

These enterprise risk management (ERM) presentations includes stories on how a Fiscal Checkup can save your business in an interactive session where the attendees walk away with (1) strategic areas to reduce existing risk and foreseeable loss, (2) how they can increase the likelihood of achieving new revenues, and (3) includes a process where each member of the audience can start an actionable process on the highest value area the day after the speech.

Sticking out your balance sheet is no more comfortable than a visit to your doctor, but it's every bit as important. Even if it's bad news (maybe especially) you need to know.

This commonsense approach to risk management unlocks added value both identifying formerly invisible opportunities and revealing key risk areas business unwittingly takes.
