Forget about "getting social.”
This program is about you, your business, your organization… and how to transform the worldwide web into YOUR web.
The Internet and the web can and should allow you to dominate in your niche.
Six days of live interaction and online study will point you in the right direction.
Saginaw Valley State University, in collaboration with BravoSmart Web Design and In the Company of Ideas, has developed an intense live and online program for manufacturers, businesses and organizations in the Great Lakes Bay Region. The program delivers interaction with experts and colleagues while offering guidance for growing your business and driving profits your way.
Supply chain management, benchmarking, Web 2.0 and Cloud computing are among the subjects covered. In the big picture, you will learn how to deliver big city resources to small town industries in general and to your organization specifically.
ONLINE TOOLS VITAL TO YOU NOW
Somewhere, someone has created an online ‘app’ that will allow you to enhance interaction with clients, increase revenue, grow profits. The organizers of this program and their associates invest their time looking and searching for these. Yet, the quest can never be completed because the web is constantly expanding. How many pages are on the web? Here is how Google responded in one of its blogs, “So how many unique pages does the web really contain? We don't know; we don't have time to look at them all! :-)”
The live sessions will encourage interaction and collaboration. Online time will reinforce that. Together we can find that app, that benchmarking, that research, that slight edge that gives your organization an opportunity to thrive, not merely survive. |
