Today marked an important 'first' in history, when Newbold College students Jose Escobar, business major and NSA President, and Fanni Tuske, English literature major joined the Principal for a presentation organised by the Bracknell Forest Chamber of Commerce (purportedly the largest Chamber in the UK) at Ascot Racecourse.
The presenter was Richard Robinson, Head of Google's Business Markets. Robinson focused on how businesses can maximize their impact in today's market via the internet, he shared some of the strategies behind Google's success and he predicted that cloud computing and use of mobile devices (smart phones) to access information to be the current sweeping trend. Laptops are fast fading - handheld devices are 'in'. Anyone with a web presence in today's market would have deemed this presentation to be cutting edge!
The Principal, newly elected member of the Chamber of Commerce Council, has been asked to head an initiative intended to engage the educational and business sectors in more meaningful ways. Today was the maiden voyage of such an endeavour.
