Small Giants: Companies That Choose to be Great Instead of Big

This week we'll interview Tim Hobbs, the owner of DataConnect Corporation in Centennial, Colorado, and a board member of the Small Giants organization. Why would a business person want to hear about Small Giants? Because every conversation, discussion, event, best practice, workshop and conference is defined by shared values. Because you want to do your part to change how the business world defines success. Because your business is built on passion, great relationships, principle, community and a desire to achieve sustainable growth. In his book Small Giants: Companies That Choose to be Great Instead of Big, (Paragon 2006) Bo Burlingham observed a set of six common characteristics in the unique and inspiring companies he was examining. He dubbed the combination of these characteristics to be “business mojo.” The Small Giants Community serves to make these characteristics more common in how small business owners run their businesses. The Small Giants Community champions the importance of the Return on Values business model and serves to: create a practitioner driven learning experience and community; establish a body of knowledge to support and develop adopters, and influence the business community through media, thought leaders and academia. Colorado native, Tim Hobbs is a speaker, entrepreneur and philanthropist. He has been the CEO of Data Connect Corporation since April 1988. He serves on the board of Small Giants Community, a global membership organization focused on the promotion, implementation and advancement of running a successful values-driven business.
