Lesson 6: Technology Can Make Planning Easier

Lesson 8: Remember to build in some downtime for participants to meet informally

There’s a famous line about being too busy fighting with alligators to be able to get on with draining the swamp. It’s a problem we see TRADEIT SME clients struggling with all of the time. It’s one of the important things we are here to help with - creating opportunities to discover new technologies and enable the process of acquiring those that are relevant to you.
