Registration 5:30 PM.
Purpleocity…….. Presented by Michael Ford
“No two species can coexist that make their living in the identical way” So said Professor G.F. Gause, and APICS teaches this within the “Strategic Management of Resources” course. But we sometimes forget to apply this important concept to our professional and personal lives.
Purpleocity, which is loosely based on Seth Godin’s Purple Cow theories, takes a light hearted and interactive look at the art of determining, developing and leveraging your core competencies and creating a sustainable competitive advantage.
This high energy workshop promises to get your creative juices flowing and send you home with dozens of ideas on how to become PURPLE and stand out from the competition!!!
NOTE: attendees are strongly encouraged to dress in PURPLE for this event
