Cheryl Currid delivers the message that business and
technology can work together. From highly technical topics
to simple common sense, Ms. Currid delights audiences with
her plain talk, dry wit, and entertaining style. She
frequently brings out her crystal ball to show people where
technology is going, and how to catch the wave.
“It’s a fast business world, information
is critical. People must know their business, get down to
the facts, and be right. There’s no second chance and no
excuses for not knowing or for being wrong.”

"The goal of technology
today is to make people smarter. Sure, automation helps make
business processes move faster — but the true benefits of
technology come when people can absorb the knowledge, blend
it with wisdom, and take action. And, every employee and
associate is a knowledge worker that has to act smart.
Unless it gets inside your head, information is wasted or
ignored."

"Making technology work is the easy part —
getting people to change the challenge. No matter how well
planned or bug free, computer systems will fail if people
don’t accept the challenge of change."

"Have you heard of "smart dust?" Do you
use e-mail to confirm appointments? Can you keep yourself
and computer busy so you get twice as much work done? Cheryl
shares plenty of ways for changing habits to take advantage
of technology and save time and energy on the process."

Computers alone do little more than give
an answer to a single person. Communications technology
alone merely provides a pipe to spread words. Together they
offer a means to share data, information, and knowledge.
Cleverly used, these technologies offer new methods for
doing business, servicing customers, and working smart.
Cheryl Currid gets your ideas started on how to make
convergence technology work for your organization.

Ever get the feeling that your technology
works in direct opposition to your business goals? Watch
out-you may have a digital disconnect. These are computer
systems that don't (or no longer) support your business
goals. In fact, you'd be better off if these systems were
unplugged. Sometimes digital disconnects compound for years
and go unnoticed until the company is faced head-on with a
crisis, a more nimble competitor, an accounting nightmare,
or a shrieking public relations disaster. Most importantly,
she knows how to avoid them. In her presentations she shares
her secrets with you.
