FINDING UNTAPPED GROWTH IN EXISTING MARKETS
In order to win in the marketplace, it is essential to understand which customer behaviors make money (and lose money) for
your organization. Next, it is important to segment customer groups in a way that allows you to explain those behaviors and
find the actual customers in the real world. Then you can identify the drivers and barriers to influencing the particular
behavior you want to motivate. By doing so, your marketing efforts can be focused on the critical specifics, early in the
process. Dr. Jim Hollingshead provides insights on these principles, and offers specific tools for seeing existing markets
differently and uncovering hidden opportunities for growth. #12614/1005 53 minutes 2007 $119.95
WIKINOMICS: How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything
Interactive web technologies, in the form of self-organizing Internet communities, are driving a social revolution. This Age of
Collaboration is also creating an economic revolution that is changing the architecture of the corporation in how we create
goods and services. Using the findings of a $9-million research project, Don Tapscott describes how companies innovate using
the knowledge, resources, and computing power of millions of people organizing into a massive collective force. These
innovative companies are challenging our assumptions about business and competitiveness. They are doing this by leveraging
networks of peers, using operational transparency to their advantage, sharing intellectual property, and thinking and acting
globally. #12616/1005 49 minutes 2008 $119.95
READY FOR ANYTHING: Business Continuity, Disaster
Recovery, Preparedness
This program shows that business continuity involves all levels of an
organization, and illustrates numerous examples of good preparation and
execution of disaster recovery/BCP plans. Realistic cases dramatize two
levels of business disaster. In the first, a company-wide computer problem
brings operations to a standstill for 39 hours. In the second, a regional
catastrophe forces evacuation of an organization's headquarters and closes
the facility for months. The reenactments contrast the disaster responses of
a prepared and an unprepared organization - and illustrates the steps and
criteria for developing a practical business continuity plan.
