  &lt;p class="pContentDesc"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;The Great Recession cut off most small businesses from capital markets. But that&#8217;s about to change. The JOBS (Jumpstart Our Business Start-ups) Act with its crowdfunding option opens the door to raising up to $1 million from small investors without all of the usual costs. John Hession, a partner in the venture capital group at Cooley, LLP and Jason Robins, CEO of DraftKings, Inc., a recent beneficiary of early stage funding, will discuss how you should prepare to invest, raise capital and best take advantage of the JOBS Acts&#8217; new opportunities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speakers:&lt;br /&gt;John Hession is a partner in the Venture Capital Financings and Emerging Companies practice groups and a member of the Business department at Cooley, LLP a nationally recognized leader in financings, strategic alliances, acquisitions and public offerings. John helped found Cooley&#8217;s Boston office in 2007 and was also former managing partner. After three years under John&#8217;s tenure, Cooley&#8217;s Boston office was ranked by U.S. News &amp; World Reports as one of the, &#8220;Top 3 Firms in Boston for venture capital and technology law.&#8221; John represents emerging-growth companies, principally in the medical device, life sciences, software, telecommunications and electronic commerce fields, as well as angels and venture capital funds in the investment process in these sectors. During his thirty-year career, John has participated in, structured and negotiated more than 300 venture and angel financings, 30 public offerings, more than 350 strategic alliances involving technology licenses, transfers and joint ventures, and 200+ acquisitions ranging in size from $1.0 million to $4.2 billion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John was voted by Digital Industry in May 2001, as &#8220;one of Boston&#8217;s best VC lawyers,&#8221; and by Boston Magazine in October 2002, as &#8220;one of Boston&#8217;s best Start-up Company Lawyers.&#8221; John received his law degree, cum laude, from Boston College Law School, and graduated with his B.A., English, summa cum laude and as a member of Phi Beta Kappa, from The University of Notre Dame.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jason Robins is the CEO of DraftKings Inc., the company he co-founded in 2011. DraftKings is a fantasy sports entertainment and gaming company, offering customers the ability to participate in contests every day for real cash prizes. The initial product is a daily fantasy baseball game, which follows the same basic rules as standard fantasy baseball with one key exception &#8211; each contest lasts only one day. There is no obligation to play all season, and each time a customer enters they are able to select a brand new lineup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prior to DraftKings, Jason held management positions at Vistaprint and Capital One. While Jason&#8217;s past life entailed a variety of different roles, his focus has largely been in Strategy, Marketing, and Analytics. Jason also has a passion for education, most recently co-teaching a class at the Harvard Extension School called The Art and Science of Decision-Making. Jason received his bachelors of science from Duke University, with a double major in Economics and Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDesc"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;Most exporters are well aware of the need to be compliant with U.S. export regulations. A cursory effort to comply with export regulations is not enough, however. Between the dynamic nature of the regulations, stepped-up enforcement efforts, and confusion created by the pending export control reform initiative, the export regulatory compliance environment is now more complex than ever. Companies that don&#8217;t take a proactive and preemptive approach to export compliance will fall behind the curve on regulatory changes, leaving themselves open to noncompliance and possible enforcement action.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This seminar will provide the latest information on export regulatory trends, with a focus on current compliance issues. The seminar will feature export compliance practitioners and other experts discussing the following issues: the latest changes under the pending export control reform initiative; special concerns involving product and technology export controls, including the new STA license exception, recent changes in encryption regulations and the anticipated migration of items from State Department to Commerce Department control; deemed export compliance, data security, and use of cloud-based technology; and trends in worldwide export controls, along with special concerns for U.S. firms operating overseas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The program will conclude with a panel sharing best practices across a number of areas, including compliance program management, trade compliance with mergers &amp; acquisitions, ensuring trade compliance with overseas channel partners and more.  The seminar will be followed by a networking reception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#8217;t miss this unique opportunity to hear the latest on export compliance issues and trends from some of the area&#8217;s leading exporters and compliance experts! This program is expected to sell out and space is limited, so early registration is advised.&lt;br /&gt; Speakers include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Brian Amero, Director of Global Trade Compliance &amp; Ethics - Teradyne&lt;br /&gt;    Larry Disenhof, Group Director, Export Compliance &#8211; Cadence Design Systems, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;    Dennis Farrell, Director, Global Export Compliance &#8211; Analog Devices, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;    Matt Guarrera, Director, Global Trade Compliance - Covidien&lt;br /&gt;    Barry Hurewitz, Partner &#8211; WilmerHale&lt;br /&gt;    Marla Lyon, Trade Compliance Manager - Avid&lt;br /&gt;    Ronald Meltzer, Partner &#8211; WilmerHale&lt;br /&gt;    Cindy Peeters, Technology Control Officer &#8211; Millitech, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;    Dirk Petersen, Vice President, Export Compliance &#8211; AMETEK Aerospace and Defense, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;    Misty Rutter, Manager, Global Export Controls &#8211; Hewlett Packard Company&lt;br /&gt;    Naboth van den Broek, Special Counsel &#8211; WilmerHale&lt;br /&gt;    Alexa Zevitas, Manager, International Trade Compliance &#8211; Northrop Grumman Information Systems&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost:  $100 - $150&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;Web Start Women is an organization devoted to bringing more women into the web design and development fields. We believe that there are too few women producing awesome content online and we aim to change the ratio by cultivating open, supportive, intimidation-free environments where women and girls of all ages can learn, build and code together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this class we'll be getting to the nuts and bolts of web sites: server side coding! Maybe you've built some static pages up to this point, but what if you want to have users log in to store information about them? You're going to need a way to communicate with your server and a database to store that information. That's where PHP comes in. PHP is one of the most common web programming languages and we'll use it to learn how to build robust, dynamic, content-filled sites that help you get, store, and manage the data you need to keep your users happy and coming back for more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May 31, June 7, 14, and 21 (Thursdays) 6:30-8:30pm&lt;/p&gt;

But capitalism's future is far from assured.  The global financial meltdown of 2008 nearly produced a great depression.  Economies in Europe are still teetering.  Income inequality, resource depletion, mass migrations from poor to rich countries, religious fundamentalism--these are just a few of the threats to continuing prosperity.  How can capitalism be sustained?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Registration&lt;br /&gt;President's Club Member: Free**&lt;br /&gt;HBSAB Member: $80&lt;br /&gt;Guest of a Member: $80	Non-member: $100&lt;/p&gt;

The basic technology foundation that enables these platforms has revolved around Virtualization, typically at the server layer. Clouds as a resource are much more than computing power however, and also involve the network and storage layer. Fujitsu will be providing a brief overview of its basic cloud-foundation technologies that include: hyper-scale server computing, a cloud-infrastructure management stack that includes resource management, as well as a self-provisioning portal and charge-back mechanism for resources consumed, and where and how that fits within the larger datacenter ecosystem today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaker Bio:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;[You guessed it.

  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;Offline broadcasting no longer lives on its own. Viewers want to influence TV shows, watch extra content, have real-time dialogue and explore more than just the scheduled broadcast. The &#8220;second screen&#8221; of a mobile device, laptop or iPad is arguably set to become the first screen in consumers&#8217; homes.&lt;br /&gt;So BIMA decided to bring this conversation to Boston and provide an opportunity for digital and offline planners and buyers to be part of the discussion, to hear the views of branded content experts and to ask questions of the broadcasters and creators of the best 2012 content. Be part of the discussion and debate; register now.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDesc"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;Many exporters rely heavily on partners, such as distributors or agents, to generate sales in overseas markets. An exporter&#8217;s success in an overseas market is often directly tied to the effectiveness of the company&#8217;s distribution partner in that market. Effectively negotiating and structuring contracts with these partners is equally critical for achieving profits and growth while minimizing confusion, disputes and poor performance. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This seminar will provide tips for finding reliable overseas partners and providing the support and motivation that they need in order to effectively generate sales. The seminar will also provide guidance for achieving a win-win agreement and relationship with overseas partners. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Specific topics to be discussed include identifying, qualifying, managing, supporting and motivating overseas agents and distributors; effectively managing contract negotiations; sales and performance requirements; exclusivity; essential contract elements; dispute resolution alternatives and more. The program will also include real-world examples and best practices from exporting firms who will discuss their strategies for success in global markets. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This seminar will be of benefit to top management, international sales and marketing staff, export operations staff, and in-house counsel.   &lt;br /&gt;Speakers include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Mark Beucler, SVP, CFO and GM Global Distribution - Keystone Dental&lt;br /&gt;    Marie Hladikova, Trade Services Manager &#8211; Massachusetts Export Center&lt;br /&gt;    Oscar Lazaro, Senior Vice President Sales and Strategic Partnering - TruTouch Technologies, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;    Andrew Loewenstein, Partner - Foley Hoag LLP&lt;br /&gt;    Paula Murphy, Director &#8211; Massachusetts Export Center&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost: $75&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;The United Way Youth Venture Celebration is an inspirational event that showcases over 40 youth led social ventures that have been launched in the Boston area over the last 6 months.

There will be an informal venture fair (science fair style) where each youth led social venture will have a table to display their work, a venture resource fair where these young social entrepreneurs can take advantage of tangible resources they can take away from the event, and a speaking program that recognizes everyone involved.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Little&#8217;s Flaw: Can you Predict Software Schedules?</title>

  &lt;p class="pContentDesc"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;No, this is not a talk about how Little&#8217;s Law&#8212;which most lean practitioners define as a relationship among work in progress, cycle time, and throughput&#8212;is incorrect. Quite the opposite, in fact. The problem with Little&#8217;s Law is not that it is inexact (it is very exact); the problem is in its misapplication by those who do not understand the assumptions behind the law (and blindly use it as a justification for all things lean). This talk will be an investigation into those assumptions. We will start off with a brief history of Little&#8217;s Law and then quickly jump into the conditions that must be in place in order for the law to hold. What will follow is a brief look at how&#8212;assuming all conditions are met&#8212;Little&#8217;s Law can be used as a good predictor for software schedules.&lt;br /&gt;About the speakers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daniel Vacanti is a 17-year software industry veteran who got his start as a Java Developer/Architect and who has spent most of the last 12 years focusing on Lean and Agile practices. In 2007, he helped to create the Kanban Method for software development with David Anderson. He managed the world&#8217;s first project implementation of Kanban that year, and has been conducting Kanban training, coaching, and consulting ever since. In 2011 he founded Corporate Kanban, Inc., which provides world-class Lean training and consulting to clients all over the globe&#8212;including several Fortune 100 companies. Daniel holds a Masters in Business Administration and regularly teaches a class on lean principles for software management at the University of California Berkeley.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDesc"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;Most early stage entrepreneurs know they need an exit plan, but often do not give it much thought at the early stage of developing their venture. Investors, however, always have their exit in mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To make the maximum use of whatever form of company and investment you develop, you also need to consider what you plan to do when it is time to leave. It is never too early, but it could be a bit late to achieve your best potential solution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our panel of experts will discuss the strategies to help you plan for the best outcome.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Panel:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Frank Mancieri, MBA, Partner B2B CFO (www.frankmancierib2bcfo.com/)&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Mr. Mancieri's areas of expertise include cash flow analysis, evaluation, improvement, evaluating systems, processes, changes and the installation of reasonable controls to protect business assets, and assisting business owners with acquisition and sale.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;He is active in a number of business and civic organizations, including Pinnacle Equity Solutions, Exit Planning Exchange, where he serves on the Membership Committee; is an active member of The Financial Executives Networking Group, B2B Connexions, Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce, and EFNE Entrepreneur-Team; is active with Financial Executives International and Rhode Island Association of Accounting Professors.

  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;Patient Engagement and Technology:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Improving Care and Lowering Costs&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June 8, 2012 8:30am - 10:30am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wilmer Hale, Waltham&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speakers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mary-Angela DeGrazia-DiTucci, President/Patient/Founder, Association of Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders, Inc. (AGMD)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joshua Feast, CEO &amp; Founder, Cogito Health&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kamal Jethwani, MD, MPH, Lead Research Scientist, Partners Healthcare, Center for Connected Health&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;David C. Judge, MD, Medical Director, Ambulatory Practice of the Future, Partners Healthcare&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dana Safran, SVP of Performance Measurement and Improvement, Blue Cross Blue Shield of MA &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The use of technology has become a key factor in how patients navigate their way through illness. With the advent of social media, online communities, electronic records and communications, and a host of online resources, websites and interactive platforms, patients have more and more access to information as it relates to their health. Technology has empowered the patient and facilitated a proactive approach in his/her care and treatment, which is essential to the improvement of health outcomes and to our economy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As payment models move from fee-for-service to global payments and payment based on outcomes, new models and processes of care delivery will extend beyond the confines of the exam room and actively engage the patient as a critical member of the care team.  This will pave the way for new technologies that will enable patients to exert greater control over their own care from preventive care through management of chronic disease.  Decisively, technologists are showing that engaging patients&#8217; attention and interest in their own care on a daily basis is often more effective than traditional treatment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please join us to hear examples and explore the opportunities that exist to empower the patient, improving healthcare and reducing costs merely by heightening patient and family involvement in their own care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our panel of experts will explore:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The impact of patient engagement on quality of care across the continuum; in the physician office, clinical center, hospital, skilled nursing facilities, as well as in community&lt;br /&gt;    Technologies that have made a difference to reduce re-admissions, improve care and reduce costs&lt;br /&gt;    The opportunities that exist to improve health care by engaging the patient&lt;br /&gt;    The effect of the new reimbursement models on patient engagement solutions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost:  Members Free Non-members $80&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;Pair programming madness is a collaborative coding game similar to musical chairs. It's a fun game that will get you used to programming with strangers and strange environments.&lt;br /&gt;If you can please bring a laptop with a coding + testing environment setup.&lt;br /&gt;Important note: Because it's possible that two people will be working in a language + env that they're not familiar with, you should make sure to have either an easy to use IDE, that's kind of point and clicky or a vanilla text editor (no vim / emacs) and an easy way to run the tests.&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContent"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Organizer:&lt;/b&gt;Lean Enterprise Institute&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDesc"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;The nature of lean implementation is changing. Previously the focus was on implementing lean tools and practices in a manufacturing value stream or small portion of it. Now companies increasingly are trying to create integrated lean operating systems and to implement lean throughout the entire enterprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two new roles are emerging in response to these changes. The first is that of the manager or specialist with experience in lean manufacturing who is now expected to be the leader or change agent for lean implementation across the company. The second is the individual who either has done some lean implementation in manufacturing or has done process improvement work but has no lean experience who is assigned to role of lean change agent on the office or administrative side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The demands on the individuals in these new roles are huge. They are given the responsibility for bringing about and sustaining change in their organizations without the position or power to drive it. They have to lead others to and through implementation of lean change activities by persuasion, influence, demonstration, negotiation, and teaching. And while most have or can get knowledge of the technical aspects of lean, few are prepared to take on organization-level leadership effectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Change Agent Skills for Lean Implementation Leaders is designed to introduce skills and practices in four critical areas where lean change agents must be effective:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Creating persuasive business cases for improvements and changes&lt;br /&gt;    Gaining agreement, commitment, cooperation and support&lt;br /&gt;    Influencing without power and position&lt;br /&gt;    Responding to resistance productively&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tools and techniques for the first two areas are based on processes and best practices for change management developed at Toyota. The skills for personal influence and responding to resistance are based on best practices used by successful leaders and change agents in North America. The emphasis throughout the workshop is on presenting a few fundamental guidelines and behaviors for each set of skills and providing numerous opportunities for exploration and hands-on practice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Benefits:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This workshop will provide you with:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Basic knowledge of Toyota change management practices and tools and a sense of how and why they are used&lt;br /&gt;    Better understanding of the ways we try to influence the decisions and behaviors of others and some proven techniques for increasing your impact&lt;br /&gt;    Perspective and some techniques to help you respond to resistance more effectively&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a result, you will be able to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Use the PDCA learning cycle to present and engage others in proposed improvements and changes as experiments&lt;br /&gt;    Create effective business cases for lean projects or overall initiatives through the use of the PDCA story and A3 proposal format&lt;br /&gt;    Understand how nemawashi works as an effective tool for managing change and use a similar approach to create alignment and agreement to your proposed improvements&lt;br /&gt;    Understand the nature of influence, identify your preferred influence style and recognize the preferences of others&lt;br /&gt;    Apply six basic principles of influence&lt;br /&gt;    Practice three techniques for responding to resistance and preventing conflicts&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Course Outline:&lt;br /&gt;Day 1: Creating Persuasive Business Cases&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The PDCA cycle &#8211; the basis for an effective change management process at Toyota &#8211; as a way to focus implementations efforts, keep them moving on track and on target, and to &#8220;learn&#8221; the method for improving performance and results&lt;br /&gt;    PDCA thinking and the scientific method as a technique for proposing lean initiatives and improvements, gaining approval and building people's commitment to them&lt;br /&gt;    The nemawashi process, as practiced in Toyota as an effective tool for managing change because it prepares the organization for a change and helps align it with the rest of the system&lt;br /&gt;    The A3 report (or storyboard) as a way to present a logical business case for proposed changes, decisions, countermeasures, and improvements&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day 2: Personal Influence and Change Leadership&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The basic nature of influence including the three ways we typically try to appeal to others and the personal styles we commonly employ in our efforts to get what we need or want from others&lt;br /&gt;    Techniques for recognizing your preferred styles of influence and ways to adapt your approaches to the preferences of others, so you become a more effective leader&lt;br /&gt;    Three ways to respond to resistance productively and how to use them to keep resistance from growing into conflict&lt;br /&gt;    Six proven principles of personal influence and when and how to use them appropriately for leadership&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost:  $1,600&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDesc"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;This innovative, hands-on workshop addresses the needs of companies that are already familiar with the basics of export compliance and are looking to develop a compliance manual and specific compliance procedures that incorporate the company&#8217;s compliance policy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first session will provide guidelines for establishing a compliance manual, including a case study from an export compliance practitioner.  Participants will receive an export compliance manual outline that they will be able to use to create or enhance their company&#8217;s internal compliance manual.  Participant(s) from each company will then have just over two months to create a basic compliance manual structure, and submit it for review.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The second session will feature brief presentations by the participants and a critique by a panel of compliance experts from well-known Massachusetts exporting firms.  As a result, participants will walk away with a workable, vetted outline that will serve as a basis for their company&#8217;s export compliance manual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Participation is limited to 15 companies, with a maximum of two people per company.&lt;br /&gt;Speakers:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Maria Crockett, Export Compliance Manager &#8211; MediaTek Wireless, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;    Natasha Finnerty, Founder and Principal &#8211; DL Exports International&lt;br /&gt;    Ian Moss, Senior Attorney &#8211; Posternak, Blankstein &amp; Lund LLP&lt;br /&gt;    Paula Murphy, Director &#8211; Massachusetts Export Center&lt;br /&gt;    Kathleen O&#8217;Keefe, Export Control Compliance Officer &#8211; HBM, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;    David Ross, International Trade Compliance Manager &#8211; HC Starck, Inc.&lt;br /&gt;    Barb Secor, Director, Global Trade Compliance &#8211; Thermo Fisher Scientific&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost:  $300 &lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;t's the simple equation every entrepreneur knows: if your customers are happy, you stay in business. But the other part of that equation is: what makes for a happy customer? Great User Experience = Happy Customers will explore the ways in which user experience impacts technology products, including user adoption, word of mouth, and competitiveness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at the user experience as far as your applications's interface only tells half the story, so we'll look at the complete picture of UX as only startups can address it, from development teams that talk directly to beta users to customer service managed by the CEO. This event will look at how to develop a user-friendly product, how to get honest feedback on customers' experiences, and how to make anything you sell, from software to hardware and even services, deliver a great customer experience and keep your customers happy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost:  Members Free Non-members $10 &lt;/p&gt;

Which pieces are kept internal to the business and which are outsourced?  Do you keep development on-shore or off-shore? Should additional sales personnel be hired, new supporting technologies be purchased or new features and enhancements added to the product?   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this event, we have invited Chief Financial Officers of leading companies to share their models and modeling practices for scaling SaaS businesses and making investment tradeoff decisions. It&#8217;s for the CFO to understand the relationships between the numbers and what the next priority is to manage customer acquisition, churn and the next move to grow the business. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Join us to hear our expert panel discuss: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The role and function of the CFO &lt;br /&gt;    Where and when do you spend the next dollar?&lt;br /&gt;    How do you function as a company to optimize costs?&lt;br /&gt;    How do different companies think of cost of customer acquisition?&lt;br /&gt;    Should you spending on sales and marketing or product maturity?&lt;br /&gt;    When the revenue model doesn&#8217;t tie to the cash model, how does the CFO manage this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost:  Members Free Non-members $80&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDesc"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;What is a Kata? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A kata is a pattern you practice to learn a skill and mindset. Through practice the pattern of a kata becomes second nature - done with little conscious attention - and readily available.  Examples are riding a bicycle, driving a car, typing. People who have learned to drive don't think much about using the car's controls.  They focus on navigating the road ahead. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the Improvement Kata?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ask yourself:  What patterns of thought and action do we practiceand reinforce every day in our organization?&lt;br /&gt;The pattern of the improvement kata is a fundamental pattern for improving, adapting and innovating. The improvement kata is scientific, goal-directed working, not random hunting for opportunities or disconnected reaction to problems.  Practicing it helps us get better at meeting challenges in business and in many other endeavors.  Think of the improvement kata as a "meta-habit" that aims to change our mental operating system so our human capabilities come to greater fruition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The improvement kata is the context within which lean tools are intended to be applied.  Without it you won't get continuous improvement.  In the lean environment, the improvement kata pattern is reinforced in daily management, daily problem solving, quality circles, improvement events &amp; A3s.  A version of the improvement-kata pattern is embedded in each of these activities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The overall goal, as with any kata, is to make the pattern and mindset of the improvement kata an autonomic habit.  This happens through deliberate, coached practice in daily work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This program introduces the concepts of the Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata in an engaging hands-on format helping attendees learn how to apply them in their organizations to create the culture of continuous improvement and learning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can I expect to learn?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Improvement Kata impacts your organization by:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#8226; Providing a systematic, scientific routine that can be applied to any goal.&lt;br /&gt;&#8226; Commonizing how the members of an organization navigate uncertainty and develop solutions.&lt;br /&gt;&#8226; Migrating managers toward a role of coach and mentor, by teaching them to conduct coaching cycles.&lt;br /&gt;&#8226; Actualizing PDCA in a way that has people learning from small steps every day.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Program Outline:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The program is offered over the course of 3 consecutive days:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#8226; Days 1-2: Practice with the Improvement Kata and Coaching Kata&lt;br /&gt;&#8226; Day 3: Practitioner Day - Exclusive&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost:  $2,400&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDesc"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;The Boston Entrepreneurs' Network will have our 10th annual summer outing, our cruise of Boston Harbor on Mass Baylines' Samuel Clemens , on Tuesday July 10th, 2012. We assemble at 6:45 pm and leave at 7:15 pm from Rowes Wharf behind Boston Harbor Hotel. We cruise the harbor until 9:30 pm though networking sometimes continues dockside until 10:00 pm.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Our "EntrepreneurShip 2012" Sunset Cruise on Boston Harbor will be an enjoyable, casual wrap-up for the 21st ENET (2011-2012) season. We sold out last year and expect to sell out again this year. It's an evening of relaxation and networking and to enhance the networking opportunities we have invited all ENET speakers whose presentations you've enjoyed during the past year. We will also have participation by our partners named below and have also invited a number of early stage VCs and angel investors. So, good networking for early stage entrepreneurs!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Our Sunset Cruise&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We will be cruising on the Mass Bay Lines&#8217; M/V Samuel Clemens, a beautifully designed replica of the paddle wheel steamships that once plied the Mississippi in the time of Mark Twain. The main deck is climate controlled for year round comfort. The Samuel Clemens is berthed at Rowes Wharf, behind the Boston Harbor Hotel on Atlantic Avenue in Boston. The cruise event includes a light dinner and there will be a cash bar.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;We've generally had wonderful weather and beautiful sunsets for our cruise and hope for the same this year. Last year, our captain brought us to an excellent viewing location, when just before sundown the U.S.S. Constitution, "Old Ironsides" discharged her cannons for taps at the end of the day. A great site to see!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The cruise will again be catered by Off the Vine who received many compliments for the light dinner menu they served the last four summers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost:      ENET Member - $30.00. ENET members may attend this event for only $30.00 per person.&lt;br /&gt;    ENET Member + Spouse/Significant Other - $50.00. ENET members may register with spouse or significant other for $50.00 per couple. $30. ENET member, $20. spouse/significant other.&lt;br /&gt;    Non-ENET Member - $45.00. Non-ENET members are invited to attend and enjoy the cruise for $45. Individual guests must register separately.&lt;br /&gt;    Non-ENET Member + Spouse/Guest - $90.00. Non-ENET members can register with a spouse or significant other for $90. Additional guests must be registered separately.&lt;/p&gt;

What will be the cutting edge technologies? Who are the players? Where is the funding?

These Knowledge Sharing Sessions will focus on the hottest topics, debates and opportunities going on in the mobile space today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don&#8217;t miss this unique event!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost:  Members $75 Non-members $150&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;The Internet and other information and communication technologies have redefined literacy and learning in the 21st century. How should schools and teachers respond? The 2012 Massachusetts New Literacies Institute will prepare educators for teaching in powerful ways with these new digital tools.&lt;br /&gt;For the past 2 years, Microsoft hosted the MA New Literacies Institute for the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Lower Pioneer Valley Educational Collaborative at the NERD Center, and it has been hugely successful. Institute activities will include inquiry projects, workshops, panel discussions, design studios, featured speakers, and just-in-time learning. Working collaboratively to develop creative and innovative instructional solutions for their classrooms, 125 educators from 30 districts across the state will spend an intensely rewarding week with other educators just as passionate about transforming teaching and learning for the 21st century. District teams will take their acquired knowledge and share those best practices and digital tools with their colleagues in their home districts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDesc"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;To sustain an organization's continuous improvement efforts and be most effective leading change, lean leaders need to not only champion the deployment of lean tools but to look beyond the tools to the supporting management systems. They need to create an environment for effective and comprehensive problem-solving at all levels of the organization, and model the behaviors that support this open problem-solving environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These leadership behaviors cannot be learned without practice; leaders must go through their own Plan-Do-Check-Adjust (PDCA) learning cycles of experimentation to understand the basic underlying drivers of the existing performance and develop a new model for organizational learning and change.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our Transformational Leadership program uses an experiential approach to provide first-hand leadership experience and help senior leaders learn to create the environment for effective and comprehensive problem solving by conducting a series of rapid PDCA cycles. Going through two rounds of an organizational simulation, participants get to better understand their individual and collective leadership styles and learn to apply lean thinking patterns to move toward a more effective leadership model required to support a lean transformation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Through participation in a realistic business situation (simulation) followed by deep reflection, you will:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Uncover the assumptions (thinking patterns) that form the foundation of an organizational culture and drive leaders' behaviors.&lt;br /&gt;    Create a new lens that lean leaders can use to address and change these thinking patterns and support a lean transformation.&lt;br /&gt;    Develop experiments that will create a new problem-solving culture to implement in your home organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What will this program do for me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This program will help attendees:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Understand the current thinking behind their organizational behaviors.&lt;br /&gt;    Assess the gaps in their leadership systems and organizational structure that need to be addressed to allow the culture of problem-solving and continuous improvement to develop.&lt;br /&gt;    Identify core behaviors and practices that characterize lean leaders.&lt;br /&gt;    Clarify their role as a leadership change agent.&lt;br /&gt;    Develop an action plan that addresses identified gaps.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How is this program structured?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day 1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Overview.&lt;br /&gt;    Introduction to experiential learning.&lt;br /&gt;    Organizational simulation, Round 1:&lt;br /&gt;    Participants will analyze their own leadership styles and develop an understanding of the thinking patterns that form the foundation of any organizational culture.&lt;br /&gt;    Debrief and reflection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There will be a reception after Day 1 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day 2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Learning session: leadership that supports problem solving.&lt;br /&gt;    Organizational simulation, Round 2:&lt;br /&gt;    Participants will be challenged to apply lean thinking patterns introduced in the program to move toward a more-effective leadership model.&lt;br /&gt;    Debrief and reflection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day 3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Debrief and reflection continued.&lt;br /&gt;    Developing a plan for personal and/or organizational transformation to create an open problem-solving culture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost:  $2,995&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDesc"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;Description:&lt;br /&gt;This two-day hands-on workshop is designed for individuals and teams that want to gain a better understanding of the components and underlying philosophy of lean, based on the Toyota Production System (TPS), and how the elements and philosophy work together to create a Lean Enterprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The workshop is a mixture of lectures, videos, discussions, and a simulation. The factory simulation will help you understand the concepts of flow, pull, takt time, kaizen, and work cell design in a total business system context.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Short videos from the shop floor will illustrate different aspects of TPS, including how different pull systems operate. You&#8217;ll run imaginary companies that are all part of a value stream delivering products to end customers in order to experience first-hand the impact of variability on a value stream and the lean systems used to fight this variability. Small group discussions will give you opportunities to share best practices, reflect on your learning, and develop new solutions to bring back to your organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Benefits:&lt;br /&gt;You will learn the key tools and how they fit together under a business system philosophy designed to continuously improve competitiveness by achieving the highest quality, lowest cost, and shortest lead time. You&#8217;ll understand why lean is fundamentally different from and superior to business models based on mass production.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This workshop will demonstrate the step-by-step thought process for implementing a lean transformation and how to extend it beyond your organization to improve supplier performance and customer satisfaction. You will discover new insight into lean management philosophy and its methods as well as the organizational structure and change management methods you&#8217;ll need for implementing lean in your business.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Course Outline:&lt;br /&gt;Focusing on three key areas &#8211; People, Process and Purpose &#8211; the program explores the entire Toyota Production System and how it creates a Lean Enterprise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People&lt;br /&gt;The Toyota Production System is at heart a people-based system and successful lean transformations must be based on a people system. In the course of the workshop, we will discuss selection, training, involvement, and supervisory practices that create the foundation for lean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Process&lt;br /&gt;In order to get real sustainable results in safety, quality, cost, delivery, and morale, one must bring all the tools of the Toyota Production System to work together as a system. Items covered include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Stability, flow, leveling, pull, and kaizen&lt;br /&gt;    The PDCA (plan, do, check, act) discipline that holds the process together and improves it on a continuous basis&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Purpose&lt;br /&gt;How all the functions, individuals, and systems work together to deliver true value to customers creating competitive advantage and lasting business results. Items covered include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    The role of management in creating and supporting a Lean Enterprise&lt;br /&gt;    Hoshin Planning / Policy Deployment and its role as a management system in a Lean Enterprise&lt;br /&gt;    The challenges organizations face in implementing a lean transformation and suggested methods to deal with those challenges&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who Should Attend:&lt;br /&gt;Individuals or teams with little to moderate experience and exposure to lean (TPS) who are looking to increase their understanding; managers who want an understanding of the total scope of implementing lean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost:  $1,600&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDesc"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;Introduction:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Question: When is an A3 more than a sheet of paper with boxes to fill in?&lt;br /&gt;    Answer: When it is used as a tool for capturing and presenting A3 thinking and when it is used in the A3 process to bring about change, either at the individual level for personal betterment, or at the business or operational level for performance improvement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his October 2008 e-letter Jim Womack announced, &#8220;We have just launched John Shook&#8217;s new book, Managing to Learn, and I am tremendously excited. I think it is the most important work we have published at LEI. This is because John clearly explains why A3 thinking is the core of the Toyota management system and show how the act of creating an A3 also creates lean managers.&#8221;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John, in response, to the basic question &#8220;What is an A3?&#8221; gave this explanation of the document&#8217;s role in the A3 process: &#8220;The most basic definition of an A3 would be a P-D-C-A storyboard or report, reflecting Toyota&#8217;s way of capturing the PDCA process on one sheet of paper. But the broader notion of the A3 as a process&#8211;embodying the way of thinking represented in the format&#8211;captures the heart of lean management. In this context, an A3 document structures effective and efficient dialogue that fosters understanding followed by the opportunity for deep agreement. It&#8217;s a tool that engenders communication and dialogue in a manner that leads to good decisions, where the proposed countermeasures have a better chance of being effective because they are based on facts and data gathered at the place where the work is performed, from the people who perform it.&#8221;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Description:&lt;br /&gt;The purpose of this workshop is to explore the lessons and insights of Managing to Learn from four perspectives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Note: each participant will receive a copy of Managing to Learn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First participants will explore the requirements of sound A3 thinking and management by following the stages of learning illustrated in Managing To Learn (MTL). MTL describes how a young manager learns to handle a significant problem-solving responsibility by creating an A3 that earns him the authority to address the problem in the ways he proposes. This occurs as he is coached on his problem solving and A3 thinking by his boss and mentor. He steadily uses the knowledge he is learning to revise his initial &#8220;jump-to-a-solution&#8221; A3 into an effective PDCA story. Participants will examine how the A3 changes with each revision, what the young manager has learned about the A3 thinking, the A3 process that he applies in each revision, and what the course of his development indicates about the deep problem-solving focus that characterizes lean thinking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second participants will have the opportunity to develop their own eyes and ears to recognize effective A3 stories. They will describe the problem-solving thinking that is required in each section of the A3 for the PDCA story it tells to be effective. Participants will read several A3s and discuss how they would coach the authors to improve them. They will then be given final versions of the A3s and asked to determine if they are more effective and why they are more effective than the originals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Third participants will create the Title, Background, Current Situation, Goal, Analysis, and Recommendations sections of an A3 for a problem-solving responsibility in their own work. Participants are asked to bring real A3s they are already working on for this exercise, or they may begin a new one during the class. They will work in small groups to read, discuss, and evaluate each other&#8217;s A3s. They will coach each other as authors of their respective A3s offering guidance to consider ways their PDCA stories could be improved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fourth participants will learn various forms and uses of the A3 format. Examples from Managing to Learn will be highlighted, along with others. Topics that will be examined include:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Basic types of A3 stories and how the format differs for each&lt;br /&gt;    Role that A3 plays in the nemawashi process for gaining alignment with the stakeholders in a problem situation and seeking their agreement to proceed with the countermeasures or improvements being proposed&lt;br /&gt;    Ways that A3 functions as a change management tool, a general management tool, a human development tool and a knowledge sharing tool&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Benefits:&lt;br /&gt;Through instruction, small group discussions and exercises, the workshop participants will:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Learn the basic formats of A3s and uses of the A3 as a management process&lt;br /&gt;    Gain experience in the three basic roles of the A3 process&lt;br /&gt;        Writing an A3 (Author/Owner)&lt;br /&gt;        Reading A3s (Responder)&lt;br /&gt;        Coaching others about their own A3s (Coach)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who should attend:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Any manager who wishes to improve his or her organization&lt;br /&gt;    Any manager who wishes to lead and manage his or her organization more effectively&lt;br /&gt;    Change agents, lean promotion office managers, and specialists&lt;br /&gt;    HR and OD professionals who wish to seek more effective means to deeply improve the thinking, behavior, alignment, and performance of their organization and the people in it&lt;br /&gt;    Senior executives who wish to improve their abilities to lead and manage&lt;br /&gt;    Anyone who wishes to improve his or her critical lean thinking&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost:  $1,600&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p class="pContentDesc"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Description:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p class="pContentDescText"&gt;An Insider's Look at InDesign!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whether you work primarily in print or are delving into the digital world, The InDesign Seminar will give you the tools you need to work smarter in InDesign. Expanding your knowledge of InDesign, this full-day seminar will dig into subjects that we all should know, but often don't. Boost your productivity with a whole new skill set that will have you working at lightning fast speeds. CS3, CS4, CS5 and CS5.5 users welcome.&lt;br /&gt;Seminar Schedule&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Registration opens at 8:30am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Don't Reinvent the Wheel (9:00-10:00)&lt;br /&gt;        As designers, we often find ourselves doing the same tasks over and over. Well, that can be a real waste of time&#8230;usually unbillable time. The great thing about InDesign is that it lends itself to automating tasks and re-using settings very well. In this session, we'll look at time-saving techniques for working with presets, libraries, templates, and other productivity tools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Techniques for Working with Text (10:00-11:00)&lt;br /&gt;        InDesign is designed to work with text and provides a lot of tools for doing so. But many of these text functions sit unused for lack of understanding. Text techniques we'll cover include importing text and mapping styles, working with Track Changes and the Story Editor, as well as understanding Bullets and Numbering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        BREAK 11:00-11:15&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Jumping Around a Document (11:15-12:15)&lt;br /&gt;        Navigation is important in an InDesign document, whether the file's final destination is print or digital. Pointing your readers in the right direction and giving them more info can be key to a well-designed document. In this session, we'll cover setting up hyperlinks and dynamic cross references and get a handle on InDesign's footnotes feature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;br /&gt;            LUNCH ON YOUR OWN - 12:15 - 1:30 p.m.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;br /&gt;        Books and Long Documents (1:30-2:45)&lt;br /&gt;        Whether your finished piece is a catalog or the next great novel, long documents need to be well-planned to handle the large amount of information. This session will cover InDesign's book feature, which allows you to organize individual documents into a larger volume. We will also look at other techniques used with long documents, including automating with master pages, using sections, and auto numbering. We'll tie it all together with an auto-generated table of contents. These techniques will be beneficial to both the print and digital document creator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        BREAK 2:45-3:00&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Interactive Documents (3:00-4:00)&lt;br /&gt;        Interactivity is one of those buzzwords print designers often cringe at. Don't despair, though! This broad-reaching word covers everything from creating Flash-based navigation to a simple, yet interactive, PDF to be used as a digital brochure or portfolio. We'll explore the interactive features of InDesign, including buttons, rollovers, animation, navigation, and the addition of audio and video.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Tips, Tricks, and Keyboard Shortcuts (4:00-4:25)&lt;br /&gt;        The tips and tricks in this session will give you quicker and easier ways to perform repetitive tasks, as well as show you keyboard shortcuts that will keep your fingers on the keys &#8211; maybe even cutting down on repetitive stress injuries from mousing to the menu for everything!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;        Problem? Solution. (4:25-4:45)&lt;br /&gt;        Everyone comes to these seminars with at least one burning question about InDesign that doesn&#8217;t get addressed during the day. Here&#8217;s your chance to ask that question, and learn something from the answers to your colleague&#8217;s questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cost:  $129&lt;/p&gt;
