"The only thing worse than a trained employee who leaves, is an untrained one who stays." This quote sums up the current dilemma for many. With time and budgets tight, and technology changing rapidly, how do you maximize your efforts to train your staff and clients? We'll examine everything from e-Learning programs, to podcasts, to the good ole "sink or swim" baptism by fire. What works and what doesn't? Who pays? What should be done on company time vs. employee time? How about leadership and business training, in addition to technology? How do you create the right mix of options that will keep your staff engaged and able to produce? We'll look at it all with a dynamic panel of industry managers and educators.

- Leaders Track: G7™ Global Success Stories
Moderator: Don Hutcheson, President, Hutch Color
Panelists:
Chris Carlock, Infrastructure Manager, Mundocom
IDEAlliance's new G7™ process aims to simplify standardized proofing and printing. Like anything new, it has generated its share of controversy, but even its detractors admit that G7 has done more than anything else to promote the existence and benefits of ISO printing standards. In the last two years many "G7 Experts" have been trained, many companies have implemented the process, and all major proofing systems have been re-certified to the new G7-based SWOP and GRACoL specifications. What are the results? How are companies profiting from G7? Do clients see increased quality and speed to market? A panel of G7 users who have seen real benefits in their workflow will discuss the issues and benefits in taking the G7 process and the new specifications beyond a technical exercise to the point of providing real world business benefits to their organizations.
