Jinfo Blog
23rd August 2018
Abstract
It's time to take stock of skills, strategy and positioning. Find out how Jinfo resources can help.

It's August, which means summer is on the wane here in the Northern Hemisphere and the humidity levels are topped only by the percentage of emails that come back as "out of office".
If you're at your desk, it's time to get ready for the busy period ahead - the end of the calendar year. (And if you're reading this on your phone while on holiday... please leave it in your inbox until you're back!)
Two meaningful steps you can take right now to prepare for the autumn are to examine your training calendar and to get a clear view of where you stand against industry benchmarks for your operation. Jinfo consultants can help you with both.
Round out your training calendar
Support your team with tailored workshops on:
- Strategic planning
- Executive-ready communications
- Holistic portfolio management
- Workflow optimisation.
Claire Laybats can help you decide what fits your needs and add workshops to your next budget or Jinfo Subscription order.
Get a clear view of where you stand
