Dalton joins online venture

George Dalton, well-known Milwaukee entrepreneur and former Fiserv Inc. chief executive officer, has been named chairman of the board for BIZremedies, a new online consultant resource for entrepreneurs and their companies.

“George is a perfect chairman of the board for BIZremedies,” said Susan Wehrley, CEO of BIZremedies. “His past success in building a business and his many business connections will be a great advantage to BIZremedies. His business expertise will be an asset to many.”

Dalton founded Fiserv and Novo 1, which he sold last year. He is a past recipient of the BizTimes Bravo! Entrepreneur Lifetime Achievement Award. Dalton said he was interested in BIZremedies because of the growth potential of its website.

In April, the company will launch a renovated website, which will include: A five-step strategic leadership and employee engagement program; a qualified consultant course; a consultant match program; and a business best practices library with resources and solutions to help companies succeed. BIZremedies’ new site will initially focus on Wisconsin, but its goal is to become a nationally known resource, Wehrley said.

To enrich the best practices library and put a new twist on talent innovation, Dalton and Wehrley will be launching a community outreach in April called, “BIZremedies Corporate Challenge.” Wehrley will videotape interviews with top business leaders who will share their best practices to the common dilemmas they face in the workplace. The videos will be offered in the BIZremedies library, on YouTube, and on TV beginning in April 2011.
