 Web 2.0 - Whats Just Changed
Blogs...RSS feeds....widgets...wikis....social networks... you know, all that 'Web 2.0' stuff your younger staff (or worse, kids!) are raving about.
Sure, the internet is dramatically changing business models, and the pace of change is fast and getting faster. You know you should be up to speed with these new models, but don't even know what's 'out there', let alone how to harness it to drive business growth.
Wellington business owners are invited to an interactive workshop offering simple and practical ways to help them understand and choose new media channels that will help them compete successfully in the twenty first century.
Are you:
- A technology business owner good at what you do, but worried about what you don't know?
- A technology business owner good at talking up 'new media' to clients but not exactly practicing what you preach?
- A business owner who knows the price of losing staff, and the challenges of motivating Gen Ys and the Millennials?
If so, this workshop is for you. It's not about keeping up, it's about getting ahead.
Presented by Jill Wilson, CWA New Media's expert in social networks, employee learning and community building, the workshop will:
- Give you an understanding of the current trends in the application of a suite of Web 2.0 tools and how these tools have chagned the business landscape; and
- Prepare you for the future of business communication.
When: Thursday 13th November
Time: 5.30pm to 8.30pm
