The ‘Internationals’

I hosted a dynamic team meeting of 7 CompTIA international offices this week in Chicago, our global headquarters. Each region presented their highights and we exchanged best practices and opportunities, and brainstormed the ‘Next Big Thing.’
I always pick up tidbits of news and ideas on my travels and two things stood out on this trip: companies are becoming very comfortable engaging customers on Social Media, especially Twitter, and I was taken aback by a giant billboard taken up by a lady called Pasha Stocking, telling employers from her state that she was out of work and available for hire. That impressed me and the story was covered by many TV networks the following morning. I hope she secures a position quickly, her creativity deserves it.
Oh, and of course we shopped extensively to help boost the US economy, with Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie and Macys especially benefiting from the group.
