Topic: Maximizing Asset Growth and Leverage to The Ever-Changing Lending Landscape

 

In today’s high-speed business environment, everyone needs an edge to succeed. You can’t create more hours in the day and cloning yourself to get more done in the same work week is still a long way off! To get ahead, one needs to employ their assets effectively to achieve financial security. Proper use of your assets can help you to create an environment in which you achieve the effectiveness you need to reach your personal financial goals within one lifetime…but it all starts with a solid foundation in understanding the tools used to get you the leverage you need. Our discussion on November 15th will cover several of those tools and the ways those tools are used to qualify interested parties for leveraging monies.

Satellite Seminar - Thursday, February 9, 2006


Ethics in Supply Management:

Minding Your Actions and Decisions

 

This satellite seminar program explores the role of ethics in supply management. The news continues to address this topic in the wake of ongoing business improprieties. Embed a strong code of ethics in the actions and documents within your supply organization and learn more about your obligation in a global society. We’ll also explore how to develop and enforce a strong code of ethics and how to address conflict of interest and anti-trust issues.
