Well-integrated, high-performing teams—those that ‘click’—never lose sight of their goals and are largely self-sustaining. In fact, they seem to take on a life of their own.

The degree to which members of an organization can effectively collaborate and work in teams is a determining factor for success.

  • Is your team equipped for success?
  • Do you want a proven approach to generating results in 2012?

If so, you won’t want to miss this practical, how-to session.

In this session, you will learn how to:

  • communicate a clear vision and inspire team members to make the vision a reality
  • create blueprints for action to achieve those goals
  • use language to build trust, encourage forward thinking, and create energy within the team
  • get the right people involved

SharePoint is easy to deploy, can grow organically and exponentially, and can be administered by end users with little training.

The result is that SharePoint environments are rarely built according to a deliberate plan, and often grow into an unmanageable collection of sites that have terabytes of poorly organized content—rendering the SharePoint environment little better than traditional share drives.

The solution to this SharePoint mess is Information Architecture, and in this web seminar, Joe Shepley (LinkedIn profile) will dig into how information architecture can make your SharePoint environment more effective by fostering improved content organization.

Presenter: Journyx Inc.

In 2011, the government spent over $500 billion on private contracts with about 23% of that awarded to small businesses.

Understand this: The federal customer is completely unique from your commercial clients. Because business is done in a more structured and regulated environment, It is one of the most level playing fields in business for fair and open competition.

You, the government, and your competitors all must work within the same guidelines and mandates of the Federal Acquisition Regulation or what is call “the FAR.”

During this session you will learn:

  • What the FAR is,
  • How agencies use the FAR to acquire goods and services,
  • The types of acquisition methodologies used by the government, and …
  • Most importantly, how to save yourself valuable time and money on preparing your bids in response to the Fed’s solicitations.

Presenter: Wes Fue, CEO/Founder, Timberwolf Enterprises, LLC. – Throughout his 29 year career with the Federal Government, Wes was a Contracting Officer Technical Representative that initiated statements of work, created and led business process improvement teams, identified and selected private companies and small business vendors for outsourced contract work, and negotiated contracts for inter-agency agreements. Wes has trained and mentored over 1800 businesses on how to quickly, and effectively, market, bid on, and win federal, state, and local government contracts.
