Global Progress Specialists

Global Progress Specialists (GPS) uses a Web 2.0 platform to provide social networking, executive education and consulting services to business leaders of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries. Our three services under development are as follows:

• Global Progress Forum: A members-only, online community where members study management best practices while networking and collaborating with their peers in other developing countries. Members will have access to live and pre-recorded video conferences, moderated message board discussions, the latest in management best practice e-books, in-depth training material, and more.

• Global Progress Conferences: Conferences where global business thought leaders – executives from internationally recognized brands and leading academics – give presentations via video conferencing technology to audiences in multiple cities at the same time. By using video conferencing, we will be able to provide a much higher quality speaker at a much lower cost and greater frequency than traditional conferences in these countries. Since the conferences will be live, interactions with the speakers and attendees in other locations will still be possible.

• Global Progress Immersion: A structured program to provide assistance implementing the management best practices learned during Global Progress Conferences and in the Global Progress Forum across a client’s entire company. This implementation assistance will take the form of mentors for executives, an onsite Fellow for three to twelve months, remote consulting teams, role-appropriate training for all key team members, access to small group discussions with global business leaders, and more.
