As we begin the 3rd Quarter, we look forward to providing your firm educational content surrounding the topic of growth and metrics. Your firm may have been involved in our KPI & Growth survey. Those results will be released soon in a whitepaper. Additionally, we will provide blog content throughout the quarter and a webinar in September wrapping up this quarters theme.
In case you missed the last webinar on June 27th, you can download it and view on-demand. The webinar was very well received and even exceeded capacity. We have provided a 14 minute highlight reel, as well as, the full webinar: 'Get the Work Done! Tackling Project Management to Improve the Bottom line!'
