Virtual Classroom Goes Live!

In the current climate we have decided to offer most of our courses as Virtual Classrooms. They will be offered as both open courses and private courses. Though we have delivered most of our courses face-to-face, we have experimented with virtual classrooms over the past year. The primary application we will be using is Zoom which allows us to display slides online, share our browser window and communicate seamlessly with students. Our maximum group size will be 5-6.

Our Twitter Workshop is an intensive, one-day, hands-on course aimed primarily at beginner-level users. We have been using and advising clients on how to use Twitter for around 10 years and this course will show you how to set up Twitter correctly, Tweet like a pro, use it for different business activities, listen to conversations, build a following and measure its effectiveness.

Marketing Tom has teamed up with experienced mobile video trainer, Anna Brees, to deliver a Mobile Video for Social Media Marketing Workshop. Anna's cv includes being a successful Broadcast Journalist working as a reporter and presenter for ITV and the BBC, a facilitator with the National Union of Journalists and who has been successfully running training courses for the past 9 months.

These days, we all have to deal with a tsunami of information and the many channels through which it comes: email, text, Twitter, LinkedIn, newsletters etc.

Often, we find ourselves dealing with a huge number of messages which fragment our attention and cause us to neglect what truly matters. Therefore, we need efficient and effective techniques to help keep the problem under control. This 2-day workshop addresses that need, providing practical tools and techniques that can be used immediately.

Day 1 of the course introduces you to the tools and techniques to deal with the various situations with which we are faced. Techniques such as Getting Things Done (GTD*), the use of the RACI Matrix, how to schedule your work in progress and the simplicity of the Kanban system. How to prioritise your work and operate your in-trays as well as understanding how to use delegation to help reduce stress. Making the most of your Prime Time and how high performers work as well as investigating doing One Thing at a Time and other useful tips and action plans.

Day 2 is all about agile management. It describes the skills, tools and techniques required to run the organisation in an agile manner. Several agile techniques are considered as well as the leadership skills that are necessary to run an agile business.

THIS SESSION WILL BE DELIVERED IN ENGLISH ONLINE. Welsh documents are available upon request.

This group is all about looking at the uses of IoT and discussing the barriers that may be preventing many businesses in the region from adopting and utilising this technology. These discussions will then enable us to look at solutions that may be available to ensure businesses have the resources they need to adopt IoT technology in their organisations.
