Dear Sarah,
Spring is here, and it is time for your firm to thaw out from winter, and grow strong in 2014!
April marks the transition in to our new theme; Grow More With the Right Data. Expect to see content geared towards helping your firm utilize the right metrics to achieve more and increase efficiency.
In the spirit of doing more with the right data, we highly recommend that you participate in the 35th Annual Clarity A&E Industry Study. This is a free opportunity to participate in an industry wide survey that will provide your firm with benchmark data, and allow you to compare where you stand vs. your peers.
We also want to ensure everyone is aware that ALL releases prior to Vision 7.0 will enter sustain support on May 1. Please contact us today for assistance or questions.
We hope you take the time to follow us and re-tweet the content we post weekly to LinkedIn and Twitter. Also, please let us know if there is anything you'd like to see presented or written about by providing us feedback.
Sincerely,
Full Sail Partners

Task Management Tools. Lessons Learned from Project Management.
My social life is full of Project Management professionals. Engineers, IT people, Construction Managers, and Event Planners. I quizzed a few asking about the task management tools they use and what they liked and disliked.
After several hours of phone and instant message conversations, I realized I learned very little about the tools and a lot about the groups they work in.
Why Team Collaboration Tools are Essential to Productivity
What are the major productivity killers for firms in the Professional Services? For most firms, some of the biggest ones revolve around information overload, duplicated effort and other inefficiencies.
Real team collaboration is beautiful thing! Impact the productivity of individuals and teams throughout your organization.
How to Use Social Collaboration Tools in a Professional Services Firm?
Let's be clear: people are not squirrels. That being said, when you're trying to get your firm's employees to interact with each other effectively, it may seem like trying to herd the little woodland creatures.
Most firms' leaders already know that the most effective answers to this challenge involve improving collaboration, communication and teamwork.
So we know that we should be collaborating, but the question is how do we collaborate?
Is Your Project Evaluation Plan Evaluating All of the Metrics You Need?
Adding client feedback results to your project evaluation plan provides an incredible return on investment. Conversely, by failing to identify key satisfaction metrics, your projects are less efficient, and you have less insight in to the mindset of your clients.
Ask yourself, in the modern competitive business environment, can your firm afford to overlook anything -- let alone the satisfaction of your clients?
