London, UK - 23 July, 2003 - Changepoint Corporation, a leading provider of business process automation software for global services organizations and corporate IT departments, today announced that it has launched a series of web seminars specifically tailored to tackle the key issues facing IT departments and professional services companies in today's uncertain economy, and how to survive in a tough competitive landscape.
In launching the 'Wild Child' series, Changepoint has specifically targeted senior IT professionals likely to respond to the core message that significant organizational change can only be achieved when business leaders start to walk on the wild side.
René Carayol, bestselling author of Corporate Voodoo, was the lead speaker of the first seminar. He began the discussion by highlighting why the traditional risk averse processes of project management needs to be replaced, whilst demonstrating how 'sensible recklessness' can deliver sizeable opportunities and real value to businesses.
Carayol also explored how organisations can become more agile by empowering their talent pool, with the ultimate goal of increasing profitability. If you would like to be invited to the next live seminar, or to download Carayol's web seminar, please visit www.changepoint.com/wildchild.
The second web seminar will see David Taylor, author of the 'Naked Leader' - which on publication, became the fastest selling business book of all time - expose the fundamental failures of the major consultancy and process driven initiatives of the last twenty years, and what we can learn from them. According to Taylor, if companies continue to do what they have always done, they will get what they have always got. In order to achieve a different future, vendors have to do things differently. Should you be interested in participating in Taylor's web seminar on Tuesday 30th September at 9.00am, you can register at www.changepoint.com/wildchild.
Ayman Gabarin, VP EMEA for Changepoint commented: "This series of web seminars focuses on IT value and the issues facing senior management, and features leading authors, thinkers and business leaders. It is an excellent platform for business and technology executives to explore business challenges and strategies for success".
