ABOUT DAVID NOUR

DAVID NOUR

David Nour brings a disciplined approach to the often-fuzzy subject of the value of strategic business relationships.

He originated the practice of Relationship Economics®, the concept of the quantifiable value of business relationships. Through his best-selling books, compelling speeches and valuable consulting, Nour demonstrates how relationships are the greatest off-balance-sheet asset any organization possesses, large or small, public or private.

Nour’s new 2017 book, CO-CREATE (St. Martin’s Press), illustrates how companies can use strategic relationships to create value through innovation.

He delivers over 50 keynotes a year explaining the economic value of strategic relationships, and the disciplined process of investing in them. He has worked with leading global companies such as Disney, Cisco Systems, Deloitte Consulting, Hilton Worldwide, HP, IBM and more.

His insights on driving growth through unique return on strategic relationships have been featured in top outlets like The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Fast Company, Mashable, CNBC, Knowledge@Wharton and Associations Now, as well as Entrepreneur and Success magazines. He also writes regularly for The Huffington Post and Medium.

NEW for 2017!

This is David Nour’s most acclaimed keynote - based on his best-selling book of the same name – which he has delivered to over 500 corporate, association and academic forums. This dynamic session focuses on the quantifiable value of business relationships.

Few companies have mastered how to drive innovation through strategic relationships. In retail, Warby Parker has. In payments, Stripe has. IBM, Toyota and L’Oreal also excel in this regard, but the list is far shorter than it should be. This keynote shows you how to get others to invest their time and effort in your organization’s success… and what you need to offer them in return.

It describes a systematic process to build and leverage strategic relationships. This session delivers exceptional value to most audiences by sharing the battle-tested best practices for bridging relationship creation with relationship capitalization.

The key difference between those companies that merely aspire to do this, versus those that have mastered the Co-Create Effect, is that the best of the best employ a disciplined strategic process. Nour will take you through that process, explain how it works, and highlight where so many firms go wrong with half-hearted or poorly-conceived efforts to “collaborate.”

...I heard you speak at the ASAE Annual Meeting in Atlanta. I found you to be a gifted professional speaker and dramatically more insightful than most typical associated-related presenters. During our introductory lunch, you provided ample value in your understanding of our growth challenges and piqued my curiousity to seek your advisory services.

Stefano Bertuzzi, Ph.D, M.P.H. - Executive DirectorAmerican Society for Microbiology“

As a senior executive at an association I have heard and hired many speakers and not all have hit the mark each time. However, from the first time I engaged you on short notice through subsequent engagements following you have always hit the mark and exceeded my expectations and most importantly, those of the audiences you have addressed for us.

Duffy Wilbert, CAE - Former SVP of Member ServicesInfoComm International“

Thank you so much for presenting at the 2011 Amerinet Member Conference in Orlando, Fl.

The session was a huge hit and so well received.

As you know, social networking is relatively new to the healthcare field and most of our attendees came into

your session knowing very little about how it can apply to them. At the end of the session and in follow up

emails, I received more requests for your information than any other speaker— and this is saying a lot,

considering many of the other speakers were from the Disney Institute.

I’ve had the pleasure of hearing many great speakers durting my 27 years with PMA. So it takes someone exceptional to cut through the clutter and make a unique impression. You did that and then some.

During David’s presentation, our audience of more than 700 elected officials and city staff members were extremely engaged, as evident by few distracted mobile users or anyone who left the session early! He used appropriate humor, was personable yet thought provoking in conveying his ideas. Needless to say, David’s presentation was the buzz of the conference long after his session.

Michael Sittig - Executive DirectorFlorida League of Cities, Inc.“

David conducted a good deal of due diligence to make his message very relevant to our diverse audience of distributor executives, showed up early, delivered a compelling session on the strategic value of business relationships, and stayed afterwards to sign books for the attendees. He was extremely easy to work with…

David Nour’s personal background in technology sales and management, as well as a great roster of marquis clients, made his message of strategic business relationships very relevant to our international audience of sales, marketing, technical and executive leadership attendees.
