Win with innovation: Grow your business and get ahead of your competition
 
Date: Nov. 19
Brought to you by: Control Solutions Inc.

Whether you’re a David or a Goliath, every PMP can benefit from taking a look at what’s missing in their markets, and take steps to fill those needs. Remember, ideas can come from anyone in your organization. After all, Flamin’ Hot Cheetos came from a Frito-Lay janitor! During this webinar, you will learn how to:
  • Find a need, fill a need.
  • Stand out from your competition, regardless of size.
  • Get your entire team involved to brainstorm ideas.
  • Use several examples for inspiration.

Speaker: Dr. Janis Reed, BCE, Technical Services Manager, Control Solutions Inc.
