Ed Rigsbee Biography

Ed Rigsbee, Certified Speaking Professional, elevates business relationships from ordinary to extraordinary through his expertise in strategic alliance development and implementation. He is the President of Alliance Works in Thousand Oaks, California, a division of Rigsbee Enterprises, Inc., and a recognized authority on this subject with a marketing sub-specialty. He has developed the Total Organizational Partnering System (TOPS), referred to as the Star of Success, stemming from his comprehensive research in strategic alliances.

Rigsbee is the author of several influential books including "PartnerShift-How to Profit from the Partnering Trend," "Developing Strategic Alliances," and "The Art of Partnering." He has also produced numerous video and audio programs and has published over 1,000 articles. Rigsbee's ongoing contributions to business, trade, and professional publications underscore his prominence in the field.

Previously, he has been an adjunct professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara and California Lutheran University, imparting knowledge in his areas of expertise. He also has experience as a trainer for Dun & Bradstreet, conducting full-day seminars across the United States.

His practical experience spans several industries, from retail and sales management to hospitality and distribution. This extensive background supports his presentations which emphasize a mutually beneficial partnering philosophy. This approach has been honed through years of research and teaching in management, marketing, and sales.

Rigsbee is well-regarded for his ability to synthesize industry-specific information with proven strategies to propose viable solutions for organizations and industries. His keynote program "Simplifying Strategic Alliances" and the interactive talk show format keynote "Let's Get Alliances Right" are particularly popular, having received positive feedback from major organizations like Toyota Motor Manufacturing North America and Kennecott Energy.

Since 1988, Rigsbee has been an active member of the National Speakers Association and holds the prestigious Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation, a credential earned by less than 10% of its members. In 1999, he founded an annual fundraising event at the National Speakers Association's convention that has raised significant funds for charitable causes and has grown into the recognized 501(c)(3) public charity, Cigar PEG, Inc., where he serves as the executive director.

Aside from his professional endeavors, Rigsbee enjoys pursuits such as snow skiing and scuba diving, though infrequently. He resides in Thousand Oaks, CA, with his wife Regina, and their two sons, Ryan and Jonathan.

Ed Rigsbee Speaking Topics

  • Business is About Results, Not Excuses!

    Do you need better results? Ive said it time and again; business is about results, not excuses! I'll bet youve heard the following three basic excuses far too many times.

    1. Ill get to it later.

    2. I dont know how to do that.

    3. I tried, but it didnt work.

    Collaboration in the workplace is a necessity for results. In an effort to help your employees achieve better results, try the following replies the next time you hear one of the above excuses:

    Reply to excuse #1. Your self-talk either fuels or extinguishes your passion to achieve, so could you talk to yourself about something else?

    Reply to excuse #2. Who in our organization does know? Try developing a partnering alliance with them.

    Reply to excuse #3. Perhaps it was your method of implementation? What implementation skill or knowledge are you currently missing?

  • Get all this and more through Strategic Alliances.

    Strategic alliances give you a dramatically faster and more cost effective growth option by leveraging the assets of others. To get these amazing results, you have to be strategic, flexible, and collaborative but you have to be careful. 50% of alliances fail by knowing how to choose the right partners you will eliminate squandered time and resources. In the Accelerated Business Growth through Strategic Alliances program, Ed draws from his books, Developing Strategic Alliances and PartnerShift along with years of helping organizations access their strategic advantage through alliance development.
