Dear Kenneth,

Career Growth - Do You Have a Strategy for 'Brand YOU'?
 
In these competitive times, you need a way to differentiate yourself. What is it that makes you different?  You need a strong personal brand to succeed. Why? Because your personal brand gives people a reason to come to you and not somebody else. The stronger your brand, the more people will come to you to get the value you offer.  But how do you go about building this brand?Personal Brand

Learn what building your personal brand is all about and how it can make a big difference in your career.  What do you need to do?  How do you go about this?  You provide your time and HMG Strategy provides the tools through its events, mentoring and community to guide you on building your personal brand - 'Brand You'.

Co-hosted by the Chicago SIM Chapter and HMG Strategy, this event attracted more than 75 regional CIOs.

IT Leadership Opportunities in Today's Volatile Market

 
At an HMG Strategy Executive CIO Leadership Roundtable held in Chicago, Dr. Howard Rubin, one of the industry's highly regarded experts in technology and business strategy, delivered a compelling presentation on technology spend and what he calls the IT "Value Meal" for the New Economy. He believes that while the pressure is on to cut IT, "the most opportunistic time for technology investment is during a recession, and doing it effectively can create an insurmountable competitive gap."

Delivering Exceptional Events for CIOs
 John Oglesby
HMG Strategy has developed close relationships with CIO professional organizations, such as the 3,500 member Society for Information Management (SIM), highly regarded as the premier national network for IT leaders. HMG has partnered with many SIM Chapters to produce unrivaled thought-leadership events.
 
"Thanks for
helping us put on a great Strategy Series event.  It was the high-quality experience that SIM Memphis is proud to host, as it successfully extends our twenty-year history of bringing together local IT and business professionals once a year to talk with each other and hear ideas, case studies and lessons learned from both national and local thought-leaders and practitioners.  Thanks for all the heavy lifting your team did in planning, organizing, selling and executing.  Your attention to detail was evident in the numerous extra touches that our attendees experienced.  Great job."
