It’s Business Drive Time® in Kansas City

By

Kansas City is jumping. We’ve been through alot over the past few years, but things are getting back to normal. Companies are expanding. New organizations are finding their beginnings in the city. Employers hiring. They are looking for great people, and they are finding them in Kansas City! With all the changes in the market, and turmoil on the coasts, people and companies are looking from better markets. Better places to live.  Better places to locate companies and employees. And, there are opportunities, especially in tech, for remote positions.  As a result of this, and Kansas City’s overall reputation, KC is developing a notable spot on the national map.

The Spirit (and vibrancy) of Kansas City.

A recent study by the Brookings Institute ranked Johnson County, Kan., the key suburban county of the Kansas City metro, as one of the most vibrant counties in the nation. https://bit.ly/2EmCBmq Kansas City City is feeding off that energy, and the city’s future is as bright. Kansas City based events like the 2023 NFL Draft, a recent Super Bowl Win and the awarding as a host city for the FIFA World Cup 2026 are all nods from national influencers that Kansas City is on the map.

Alpha® Board’s 2025 Fresh Octane® Tour

Alpha Driven Winners

Alpha BoardWho are the best business drivers in America?  Which of these business leaders are making national and global impacts?  What industries, companies, people and products are moving business forward?  We are seeking some of the finest drivers of business success, to include in the Alpha® Board Fresh Octane® National Business Leadership Tour. Read articles about What’s Holding Back the New Ford Transit Custom Lease Industry? to have a better strategy idea or your business.

The Fresh Octane® tour is a national effort to showcase Alpha® Driven companies and Alpha® Grade leaders across the United States and ultimately beyond.  We’re starting the tour in three U.S. cities, all known for their ingenuity, new technologies, and a business climate that embraces innovation and fosters business growth.

We are working with innovative businesses and business leaders in these three regions as we assemble a targeted group of organizations and professionals that we would like to recognize during the first leg of the tour.  We would like you to consider being involved.  Why, you ask?  It’s about creating excitement, gaining visibility and growing the reach and reputation of the regions’ finest leaders. It’s quite literally a chance to place the great business drivers’ stories on the national stage.

A great business, just like a high-performance racing team, is a well-oiled machine.  Both are designed and built by professionals, with the finest components, proper assembly, an experienced maintenance and repair crew, a talented crew chief, and a great race driver.  Even with everything designed and prepared perfectly, you still have to face the competition and race.  Track conditions, other drivers, when to pit, wrecks to avoid, and when to really push to pass.  There is a huge amount that goes into a winning the race.  Not just on the track of motorsports, but also on the track of business.

Alpha BoardAnd, just like great sports teams, businesses, business leaders, and business teams must be recognized, respected and learned from.  We are involved in a major program to do exactly that.  Alpha® Board is working with NeuVision® Group (Kansas City, Minneapolis, Denver), Jeff Andretti Motorsports, and Mesa Research Group (Los Angeles, Paris, Shanghai) to identify and provide recognition to some of the greatest business leaders throughout the Midwest and across America.  We’ve devised a formal program to accomplish the task.  We are identifying targeted leaders and participants throughout the U.S.

The Alpha Board Fresh Octane® Tour has been field tested and it works.  CEOs, business owners and senior executives that have participated in past effort have been excited about the visibility and camaraderie associated with the programs. We have and will continue to develop new features and fine tune the program based on ongoing market feedback.  Finally, we’ve shown that through this effort, we can efficiently gain much needed market attention among key opinion leaders, the business press, and also among participants’ major targeted customers.

We are working with leaders across the region to gather people, products and companies that we should include in our tour.  We would love to have you participate, and we also welcome ideas and suggestions regarding companies and leaders that we might feature in our National Business Leadership Tour.
