Don't Be Casual
Coming out of the Venture Capital in the Rockies conference, I was pleasantly surprised with how solid most of the presentations were. There was plenty of pre-conference preparation, practice, and iteration from the companies presenting – and it showed.

Small businesses, science/tech leaders, not the government, will lead us to a better future

HR Technology Conference- Closing Thoughts

Learned a Marketing Lesson at the AME Conference
The relationship to that concept was demonstrated at the AME Conference. The attendees and exhibitors have been thru the top section of the hourglass and now are in the bottom half.

This should be the first question to ask yourself. Before you even consider creating yet another DOA twitter account or a Facebook fan page, get to REALLY know your customers. Investing time and effort here early will save you many headaches and barrels of cash later.
Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.
I recently had the pleasure of attending and speaking at the 6th CIPS Australasia Annual Conference for the procurement profession. It was my third invitation to speak at a CIPSA event in my capacity as a professional representing the sales profession. The theme for this conference was ‘Managing Volatility’. A key message I gleaned from the conference was Value Management rather than the narrow band width of Cost Management.
