December Learning Lunch

There are only a few spaces remaining at December's Learning Lunch.  Come and hear John Berry from TimelessTime talk about driving productivity in yourself and those you employ. Technology enables staff â€‹capability, which in turn supports productivity. Productivity helps reduce costs and increases profit. Yet, we hear that the same technology that will drive productivity will threaten the very jobs we do.

 

How do managers and business owners resolve this conflict, simultaneously embracing technology, and growing staff competencies to secure a sustainable high-productivity business?

 In discussing this topic, John will build a simple model to help make sense of this complexity.
