Want to take a fresh look at where you and your organization are going, or could be going, in arapidly changing world? Worried about difficult economic times and market challenges? If so, thiswebinar may be for you. The webinar leader has great confidence in the intelligence, knowledge,imagination, and good will of the kind of people – mostly technical and scientific professionals --who typically work within E/A/C firms, government entities, manufacturing firms, and universities.

When brought together, given a challenge, and provided with “whole brain” collaboration tools,good things will happen. “We know most of the creativity, the innovation, the stuff that drivesproductivity lies,” says Jack Welch, the former Chairman of GE, “in the minds of those closest tothe work.” Participants receive a detailed handout on which the webinar will draw. The handoutincludes references to

Our instructor will be Stuart G. Walesh, Ph.D., P.E., Hon.M.ASCE. Dr. Walesh providesmanagement, engineering, education /training, and marketing services. He draws on more than 40years of engineering, education, and management experience in the government and privatesectors to help individuals and organizations engineer their futures. Dr. Walesh has functioned as aproject manager, department head, discipline manager, marketer, professor and dean of anengineering college.

These online courses use teleconferencing Microsoft Live Meeting Professional software to makethe courses actual live, interactive learning experiences. You will be able to ask the instructorquestions and get live real time answers. The instructor will be able to conduct polls to gageyour interest in certain areas and ask you questions as well. You will receive course materials bye-mail prior to the seminar and will be able to view the instructor's Power Point slides duringthe seminar. These types of online courses have a much higher impact than simply readingmaterial on the web. Live telephone/web seminars offer exceptional convenience and are verycost-effective.
