On this segment of Link'd AM, Karl talks with Mike Bright, Ph.D. who is Professor and Chair of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Grove City College in Grove City, PA. 

Grove City is a small (2500 students), Christian, liberal arts college with a strong commitment to balancing the liberal arts, science and technical degrees. 

Karl and Dr. Bright talk about the current state of engineering and how the need has changed over the past few years, and what it looks like going into the future.

They touch on many things that have been touched upon in his conversations with Michael Steiner, the Executive Director of BEST Robotics, of which Dr. Bright has been involved with for many years and served as President until recently. 


ABOUT GROVE CITY COLLEGE

A legacy of faithfulness.

Faithfulness to our 1876 founding purpose is one of our core values, and it is central to our unique higher education story. Daily, we seek to be faithful to our mission to equip students to pursue their unique callings through an academically excellent and Christ-centered learning and living experience. This dedication through the years of the Grove City College community, including nearly 29,000 alumni, has led us to the pinnacle of nationally recognized liberal arts and sciences colleges.

Our road has not been easy, but extraordinary accomplishment rarely is. Faithfulness to our mission led us to and through a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case in the 1980s. Today, faithfulness to our mission creates educational outcomes that employers and graduate schools find highly desirable.

Today I spoke to Nirav Patel, VP of Product Development, and we focused on how to get the most out of launching a successful program. 

The key to any successful launch and execution of these programs is getting the right elements into the mix. 

Pre planning is such a crucial part of an implementation and ChannelAssist and our XLA Solution team have adopted a process called Hyper Onboarding, which allows the project team to discover what client really needs and aligns it with the original scope. 

Getting this additional overlay of requirements allows for adjustments and refinement. 

In our conversation we talk about the process, the planning and what you should consider when implementing an engagement program. 

Our vision is to turn your donations into Training, Education and Technology for Veterans and their families in need

Working computers can provide a new life to struggling veterans rather than being discarded.

Many veterans face two significant barriers when competing in the modern workforce: the lack of a computer and the lack of the skills needed to effectively use that computer.

T4T supports these veterans by collecting used technology that would usually end up in landfills, then refurbishing the laptops and other devices.

They provide the reloaded technology, along with training, to veterans in need for low or no cost.

Who We Are:
Tech For Troops was started in Richmond, Virginia by a mother and son team who were passionate about military veterans in need and wanted to do something to help. In 2013 after hearing about the force reductions and a huge number of returning soldiers, they decided to collect used PCs and Macs, refurbish them, and provide them to veterans’ support organizations.

Since then we’ve grown to supporting veterans nationwide and continue to look for ways to offer workforce support and training.

This week we launched XLA Solutions, a strategic partnership with ChannelAssist one of Worlds leaders in Channel engagement campaigns, and we are excited that our new suite of incentive and rewards can help companies drive revenue and increased engagement.

Karl has been in the promotional and incentive business for over 30 years, working with companies like General Motors, Ford and other major organizations designing and executing employee recognition programs, and other engaging campaigns that drive results.

In this new environment, we need to, more than ever recognize our most valued partners, and that can be in a channel model or a direct sales and operational model.

Sales and operational roles are the fuel to keep the business engine running and if you don't feed the engine with engaging and creative ways to motivate and keep your stakeholders moving forward, a business can suffer.

In this episode Brooke Friendly, Marketing Director for ChannelAssist talks to Karl about the importance of getting the message and themes fun and engaging.
