Best Practices Workshop Is Back!
Want to learn more about applying best practices to your business? Interested in CSIA Certification but not sure where to start? Keen to get the best out of your business practices? If so, plan to attend the 2023 CSIA Best Practices Workshop!
During this workshop, we will:
- Discuss how to attack the best practices to maximize the benefit to your business. How to approach the process itself? What are the keys to success.
- For each section, what are the most important items, where is there common confusion, and what tends to be problematic or get over-complicated.
- We'll provide practical examples and templates to help you get started or compare what you've already done.
Our two-day interactive workshop focuses on those areas that are the most challenging for integration companies as they grow. We share essential information related to each area of the integrator business so you can move forward with the implementation of the related practices.
Rather than pounding through endless slides, our workshop will focus on small group activities to maximize this unique opportunity for peer-to-peer communication. In addition, the workshop will provide information from an auditor's perspective ensuring you'll return to the office with concrete steps to prepare your company for the future.
You will also have on-line access to training forum, which includes preparation materials such as the Best Practices and Benchmarks Manual (version 5.0 and version 6.0). With this “head start” on the material, you can arrive at the workshop ready to collaborate with your peers … and keep the dialog going after the workshop.
If you are the owner or senior manager of an SI business who wants to improve your business systems and processes -- then this course is for you.
