  1. Today’s consumers are constantly on the go.
  2. We are quickly becoming a society that depends heavily on mobile technology to deliver information to our fingertips in order to make split second decisions.
  3. Mobile devices are quickly becoming the cornerstone of our mobilized society and directly impacting the way we communicate with each other.

For many of us, our mobile device has become our primary communication and commerce tool. When our world sees a paradigm shift in technology or communication, marketing strategy changes. We need to be ready to change with it. The statistics are staggering and you can’t afford to ignore them anymore as a marketing professional in today’s business world.

  • Of the world’s 4 billion mobile phones, 1 billion are smart phones and 3 billion are SMS enabled
  • By 2014, mobile internet usage will overtake desktop internet usage
  • 50% of all local searches are performed while using a mobile device
  • 86% of mobile users are using their devices while watching TV
  • Women 35-54 are the most active group in mobile socialization

With these numbers, it’s imperative that we quickly find a way to aggregate mobile marketing into our overall internet marketing strategies. This web seminar will introduce you to some of the possibilities of mobile marketing and how to embrace this change. We will review a detailed description of mobile marketing and explore key elements that increase views, subscriptions and ultimately revenue.

Learning Objectives:

  • The basics of mobile devices and the networks they are on
  • About buyer behavior on mobile devices
  • The 3 main types of mobile marketing
  • The secrets of text messaging in mobile marketing campaigns
  • An introduction in advertising on a small screen

Live Webinar – 2 Successive Fridays

For those of you setting up agile teams with strong roles – This helps you understand the strengths of your team and set up the best matches to make your projects even more successful!

– Edmonton PM

NOTE: This registration is for 2 consecutive Fridays – The instructional segment is delivered in four modules, each one contact hour, given in webinar format in two, two-hour sessions. This course is also approved for four hours of HRCI recertification credit

When work requires close collaboration, even the most extraordinary individual effort is no substitute for great teamwork. TGI Teamabilityâ„¢ is a completely new online behavioral assessment for hiring, workforce planning, coaching, and team-building. Project Managers need to be able to create strong teams. Many teams are strongly role based and a solid understanding of Teamability will assist in choosing and developing agile team members.

The Gabriel Institute has created technology that reveals how people will perform when working with others to solve problems, overcome obstacles, and achieve common goals. In short, it measures Teamability: the ability to connect with others to form a productive team.

Individual strengths can lead to a personal triumph, but a team is greater than the sum of its parts. TGI Teamabilityâ„¢ identifies behaviors that impact quality of team interaction and ‘fit’ to job responsibilities: the ‘who fits where’ and the ‘why’ of winning teams. With Teamability, you can reliably hire ‘the best of the best’, identify and resolve team performance problems, and build a strong, resilient human infrastructure

There are many ways to measure skills, talents, and traits, but teaming metrics are unique. It took 25 years of research and testing – including 9 years of software development – to produce TGI Teamabilityâ„¢ reports, which are the foundation of TGI’s Role-Based Approach to selecting, structuring, managing and motivating teams.

Organizations of every type and size experience the cost and pain of human performance failings, and are highly vulnerable to the ‘collateral damage’ that results from hiring the wrong people. TGI Teamabilityâ„¢ makes it possible to reliably select high quality team players, and to match their job responsibilities to the way they envision themselves serving their team (their ‘Role’).

TGI Teamability was designed from its very beginnings to measure and predict the quality of a person’s team interaction.

TGI Teamability can greatly reduce the costs and risks associated with errors in hiring and promoting, while delivering significant business value by matching people to the functional mission of their team. It is also highly effective in analyzing and solving team performance problems.

This certification course is a comprehensive overview of Teamability and CHI methods. It prepares learners to provide basic support to users of TGI Teamabilityâ„¢, and to apply for an optional Certification. Certification requires passing a written examination and meeting TGI’s modest standards for ongoing participation.

Course content includes:

  • Participant’s own Teamability Report at no additional cost
  • Four contact hours of training, including all materials
  • Readings to be completed during course attendance
  • Brief written certification examination to measure comprehension of course materials and applications (optional to complete)

Live Webinar – May 1st, 2011 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm EDT
Presented by: The Advisory Council
Duration: 1 Hour 1 Category C PDU – Free PDU

In these cases, the best outcome is that IT is merely relegated to a supporting utility role in the enterprise; in the worst cases, IT actually contributes to the failure of the lean efforts to deliver lean’s promised benefits. Where IT is tightly integrated into an enterprise’s lean culture, the outcomes are far more positive, with customer satisfaction and profits both increasing, as one expects from a successful lean transformation.

Using several real-world examples which illustrate the results that can be achieved from engaging IT in an enterprise’s lean journey, TAC Expert Dan Miklovic will explore the best options for making IT an integral part of a lean transformation.

Hot issues to be addressed include:

  • What is lean; and why are so many enterprises pursuing lean?
  • How is IT impacted, both functionally and operationally, when an enterprise pursues lean?
  • How can IT assess its lean maturity, so lean benefits remain and do not become transient?

  • 4.2 Develop Project Management Plan
  • 4.3 Direct and Monitor Project Execution
