January introNetworks Webinar Guest - Verne Harnish


For this webinar we have invited a special guest, Verne Harnish, the noted author and expert to talk about his thoughts on innovative new "community" or "networking" technologies that aid in helping customers connect with and help each other in the process, help you.

Verne writes: "What do Google, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, eBay and Wikipedia have in common? They all utilise a new reality of the information age - whoever leverages the most brains wins! Figure out how to do this better than your competition and you win big.

The subtitle of James Surowiecki's best-selling book "The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many are Smarter Than the Few and How Collective Wisdom Shapes Business, Economics, Societies, and Nations" is another take on this new strategic weapon. It's no longer sufficient to have just a smart executive team. You need to launch initiatives to access the collective wisdom of your employees, customers, and the broader world around you. You not only have to understand and apply this theory to your business, you need to start doing it immediately." - you can read the article here.
