ELECTRI Updates

GETTING FROM THERE TO HERE – On March 22 at 11AM Eastern, ELECTRI’s ITea and Coffee will focus on the process to get your company from software selection to a fully operational system. We will discuss the larger implementations you and your company may take on such as ERP or Project Management systems. Knowing the best approach to take during the process will lead to a successful implementation. Some of the conversation will be about finding partners and not vendors, as well as how best to get stakeholders involved early and often to ensure the business is in lock step with the implementation. Watch for your Zoom invitation coming soon.

MAKING CONNECTIONS – Take a few minutes to tune in to Tim Speno’s Think Like A Leader conversation. President and CEO of the e2e Summit, Tim is well-known as the “connection specialist”. His approach to leadership and ways to improve what a company can accomplish are thoughtful and inspiring. His best advice might just be that relationships and networking are the way a company can achieve and maintain its competitive edge. Click the link here.

THE KEY TO GROWING – To replenish and grow its workforce, the electrical contracting industry must grow awareness of industry opportunities and attract qualified candidates by supporting recruitment efforts at all levels.
