2. How to use social networking to drive your business forward

   May 10 7 Start: 09:00 End: 12:00

   Some tips and advice on which tools to use, the legal implications and how to do it right! Social Networking may seem like a fairly recent phenomenon, with Twitter and Facebook rarely out of the mainstream news, but in actual fact social networking is nothing new. Good businesses have always been doing it with their customers and stakeholders: that is communicating. Gary Ennis, Managing Director of NSDesign Ltd, will provide a practical introduction to the world of social media. He will explore modern social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube as a means of positively benefiting your organisation by truly engaging your audience and protecting your online brand. Our legal partner, MMS, will give some expert advice on what to consider when marketing your business via social networking sites. We will also be joined by Brian Halferty from Kiltr.com, a next-generation niche business social networking platform operating in the same Professional Networking (PNS) space as LinkedIn.

4. Brainjuice Creativity Training

   Sep 10 23 Start: 10:00 End: 12:30

   In a world where the maxim seems to be ‘work longer hours’ – unlocking an individual’s and an organisation’s creativity is the one way to work smarter not harder.

   How many times have you thought there aren’t enough hours in the day? How many times have you given birth to an idea but have struggled to turn it into anything of substance? How hard are you finding it to try and focus on the right things to do for your business? It happens to all of us - everyday.

   But it doesn’t have to be this way and the secret is unlocking the creative potential that lies within all of us.

   Brainjuice is designed to give you the tools and techniques that can revolutionise theway you think and act – it really is that powerful. Brainjuice enhances personal and team development and has been used by a wide range of clients such as ClydeProcess Solutions, Whyte and Mackay, the BBC and STV, among others, to improve their output and develop the organisation.
