on September 23, 2008 as part of "The Secrets of Success Speaker Series."

This series lets members and guests gain an insider's look at tried and true strategies used by some of the Bay Area's most prominent executives and entrepreneurs. Prior speakers include Chip Conley, CEO of Joie de Vivre Hospitality, and Phil Bronstein, editor at large for SF Chronicle.

Dodd's presentation will show how to organize and motivate a workforce by applying equal discipline to internal and external measures of success as a foundation for building a profitable company. He will reveal how M Squared became one of the "Best Places to Work in the Bay Area" and consistently ranks in the top five consulting firms in the Bay Area.

"The key is creating an environment where people WANT to work for you - not where they feel like they HAVE to work for you," said Dodd.

M Squared celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, with over 3,000 completed projects for over 500 clients. The innovative company provides just-in-time executive and managerial talent for project-based work within many leading California corporations.

Prior to M Squared, Dodd spent over 10 years as a partner at Bain and Company in London, England, specializing in strategy and operations. Additionally, he served as CEO for both Cummins Diesel Engine Company in South Africa and Option One Home Medical Equipment in Southern California.
