This presentation was delivered in February 2012 by Yvette Adams of The Creative Collective to the South East Queensland directors of Regional Development Australia. The presentation highlights some of the key trends driving the digital economy which require new online capabilities from the entire business community in Queensland. The presentation also includes an overview of the many training solutions The Creative Collective have on offer to increase the online capability of business owners across Queensland – from free webinars offered in conjunction with the Queensland Government’s Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation (DEEDI) to professional development and networking events (Web Wednesdays), dedicated, live and interactive training sessions (BYO Laptops) which require participants to bring a laptop and implement actively on the day to customized social media training solutions, depending on the client’s budget and needs.
