From: Carol Smithfield, IBM, Director of Executive Education Subject: “Redesigning your company for e-business”
In a secluded wooded enclave just minutes from Manhattan, a private group of top-level executives and renowned e-business consultants will be having — on March 6-9 — what could be the most important meeting of their lives.
And if you click on [LINK] now, you may be able to get in on these sessions while there are still a few seats available. And when you join them, you too will learn — from some of the nation’s top e-business experts and
consultants — what it takes to compete and prosper in the new Internet era. Including:
A framework for building your company’s e-business strategy. The key components of e-business redesign. Adapting your corporate culture to satisfy today’s Internet customer. How to gain a competitive edge with customer-valued Web solutions and services.
If you agree that the Internet has irreversibly changed how business is done, and you want to successfully lead your company, I urge you to click on [LINK] to sign up now. Registration will close out shortly, and once that happens, no further attendees can be accepted.
If you prefer not to receive further e-mails from us of this type, please click here or reply to this e-mail with “Remove” in the subject line.
