PIVOTRY PERSPECTIVES:  5 KEY MESSAGES FOR HI-TECH PROFESSIONALS

These 5 key messages are based upon invited seminars by Wayne Chang, Ph.D. and titled Pivotry Perspectives - The Silicon Valley Experience. 

 1.       Accelerate learning in business & technical themes relevant to your hi-tech market and industry

Wake-up call:  wouldn't it be nice to get a call first thing in the morning…

…and be informed that well-defined short courses are scheduled for you at work to accelerate learning five specific business and technical topics to help you be wildly successful in your own hi-tech company within the next month or fiscal quarter!

…finding priority time to learn could be one hour per week on the Internet or library or brief talks with peers

 2.       "Can-do" attitude and culture

Wake-up call:  wouldn't it be nice to get a call first thing in the morning…

…and be informed that everyone who works with you at your hi-tech company has the same "can-do" attitude, and that you feel energized and unstoppable about finishing all your team projects on time or even ahead of schedule!

…energizing yourself goes a very long way to being productive and successful

  3.       Market timing is EVERYTHING

Wake-up call:  wouldn't it be nice to get a call first thing in the morning…

…and know EXACTLY when the time is optimal to launch your new hi-tech products or services this year and… have your clients or customers buy only from your company and…secure huge market share over your competition!

…you will be squeezed to meet deadlines that are beyond your control, and you accept that's the market timing

 4.       EVERYONE breathes networking

Wake-up call:  wouldn't it be nice to get a call first thing in the morning…

…and be notified that your network of contacts formed overnight and… you now have hundreds of business and technical peers and experts that you know and trust to help you overcome any and all problems at your company and… your contacts seek your expertise all the time to help them!

…this process requires your regular attention and communications, but in the long term view the value is high

  5.       Sticks and T's

Wake-up call:  wouldn't it be nice to get a call first thing in the morning…

…and see your core expertise fully exploited (stick-work) to build successful hi-tech products and services and…at the same time you also recognize clearly your ability to successfully learn many new disciplines outside your comfort zone to enhance innovation (T-work)!

…developing T's matches your curiosity to learn, reinforces your "can-do" attitude, and helps build your network
