Mike Foster’s
Super-Tech "Best Practices" Workshop

Dear Colleague,

Imagine what it would mean to your business if in two days your IT professionals could learn about the best practices in IT security, how to manage projects more efficiently, and how to communicate more effectively with executives and colleagues within your organization.

The two-day Super-Tech “Best Practices” Workshop gives your IT professionals the fundamental practices they need to know to keep your network running safe and secure, with a focus on some of the best tools Microsoft and other sources provide to enhance security. Most of these tools are already on your system, and you’ve already paid for them—they just need to be turned on and configured!

Isn’t improving performance and productivity to increase profits the goal of every company? The foundational elements of that goal are dependent on your IT professionals and their understanding of cutting-edge security issues, their communication skills, and project management. Not just from the top, but from everyone in the organization.

Typically there’s a disconnect between IT professionals and other departments in your organization. Stereotype? Sure, but IT professionals have a reputation for placing a priority on technical knowledge rather than on interpersonal and communication skills.

Because if no one understands what your IT professionals are doing, then the value of their work is not going to be there. Security knowledge, communication and project management skills are what separate the “super” techs from mediocre ones.

Take This 60-Second IT Survey:

Does this sound like YOUR IT professionals?

• They wear many hats.
• They were “put in charge” of IT security in addition to other jobs, without any formal training.
• They must manage multiple priorities, but haven't had project management training.
• They have advanced knowledge of technology, but lack an understanding of the latest security issues.
• They are perceived by others to lack effective communication skills.
• They have a high turnover rate.
• They suffer from higher levels of job burnout and stress.
• There seems to be more inter-office conflict and “drama.”
• They feel misunderstood by management and their colleagues.
• They feel the relationship with executive management is uncooperative.

If these problems aren't addressed and “best practices” immediately put in place, productivity, performance, and the mental well-being of everyone at your organization can be adversely affected.

For over 20 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of organizations where technology is central to business success. I’ve consulted with more top CEOs and IT techs than I can count. In addition to giving more than 1,000 presentations on utilizing technology and improving IT performance, my work has been featured in USA Today, Forbes Magazine, Kiplinger Letter, Entrepreneur Magazine, Insight Magazine, Atlanta Business Monthly and many others.

Through these experiences, I’ve developed technical expertise, business acumen and unique insights into the most effective methods to transform your IT department with proven “best practices” that ensure maximum security protocols, clear communication, enhanced productivity and tangible results.

In this two-day workshop I’ll give IT managers and IT professionals what they really need in order to be truly successful in their careers… an arsenal of “best practices” that foster an environment where everyone in the company wins!

I’ve put this knowledge into a unique two-day event designed specifically for IT professionals. It’s called the. . .
