There are so many new technologies evolving and growing in the market. Just look at Channel media outlets like CRN, CNET & PCWorld just to name a few. Everything from virtualization to simulation, convergence and emergence. What do you focus on? What compliments your current offerings, solutions and service? Don't miss out on the Buzz.
First: Stop and take a look inward. Evaluate where your company is and where you want to go. Assess your staff and their expertise. Review your customer base and their current needs. You might surprise yourself. By taking those few steps you will likely find a path that makes sense for you, your customers and the bottom line.
Second: Once you have found a technology or product set you want to target, devote time to get up to speed. Putting skin in the game puts $$'s back in your business and wallet. But training doesn't have to be expensive. In fact there are many free opportunities right in your own backyard.
Third: Choose a training method and venue that's right for you.
