The Breakfast Club NJ Presents: "A
Call to Action" by Frank Kovacs Saturday
August 9, 2014 at 8:00am ET
Please share with other groups you may be in.
The Presentation: "A Call to Action"
In 14 years of leading the Tristate areas top networking group we have
always strived to stay ahead of the curve and give job seekers and those
wanting to manage their careers the best information possible
Phase 1 – Post 9/11 – we set out to help job seekers and found out that
the job search process was broken – so we analyzed each step and came up with
approaches and techniques that provided an "edge" at each step over other job
seekers. Whether it was advice on how to make the case with your resume, how to
help the employer see you as a cultural fit, or how to network your way in – we
were there with the best advice
Phase 2 – The advent of Social Media – first we began with embracing
Yahoo Groups to manage TBCNJ and our communications but then Social Media
through LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and others became instrumental to
our job search approach and how to leverage these tools both individual and as
a networking group became another critical element
Phase 3 – Enter the New Way Business is done. It began quietly cloud and
bring your own device but Cloud, Mobile have now been joined by Big Data,
Social, Robotics, Gamification and Cybersecurity and all under the umbrella of
Digital Business, Digital Frameworks and Digital Transformation. The rate and
volume of change is reaching new levels daily. Now the way business is being done
is changing so radically there are new jobs, different titles, and new position
responsibilities plus many "legacy firms" those in business pre-2000 are
competing against many who were created post-2005 and from the get go on Cloud
with new Digital Business Models. Many of the legacy firms are downsizing and
people are lost trying to navigate among new job titles, more hands on responsibilities,
flattened organizations and last but not least where is your network with the
legacy firms or the new hot post 2005 firms? Everyone has a lot of work to do
the quicker they get underway the stronger they will be as they find their
niche in the new way business is done.
Frank will take you through these changes and give you a clear path on
how to position yourself and your career successfully
About the speaker:
Frank Kovacs is the founder of The Breakfast Club NJ the top networking
group in the Tristate area which is closing in on its' 14th year and has over
4,000+ members and has helped over 6,000+ individuals land jobs. TBCNJ was
founded following the 9/11 Tragedy to help those that were displaced from their
jobs, however, the prolonged economic and financial problems that our economy
and businesses have endured necessitated keeping the group and its' mission
alive beyond what was ever envisioned. It is comprised of volunteers who "pay
forward" their assistance on techniques that help give a job seeker an "edge"
at each step of the job search process, and then we added many ways social
networking could be leveraged through yahoo groups, LinkedIn, Facebook,
twitter, google+ and others. Frank also added a weekly Radio show, You're
Career is Calling, that he has delivered at Rider University every Sunday going
on 4 years.
Frank's vocation is as a Technology Executive who has spent close to 30
years directing some of the largest global transformations for the marquee
names in the business – AT&T Bell Labs, Citigroup, AIG, JPMorgan Chase, Bowne,
Medco, GSi Commerce/EBay, McGraw Hill and Ernst & Young. Most recently
Frank built one of the largest and most successful Cloud Practices in the world
and sold then directing the largest migration ever to Cloud for Nasa's 1900+
websites Now Frank runs Digital Business, Frameworks, and Transformations for
the largest Business Process Outsourcer in the business which includes the
disrupting technologies of Cloud, Mobile, Social, Big Data, Robotics,
Gamification, and Cybersecurity.
Given Frank's work in these two areas (Technology Major Transformation
Executive/Career Management Expert) and hear first-hand the presentation that he
has developed, "A CALL TO ACTION". The way business is done is changing
dramatically. What jobs there are, what responsibilities these jobs have, which
firms will be able to define and execute these new Digital Business Models
better than their competition is going to lead to the biggest change in the way
we do business and work. Many firms just aren't going to successful make the transition
Come and hear this message first hand so you can start preparing today to
position yourself effectively in what will be a much different environment The
change is already started and underway.
If you are in transition this message is critical to understand what you
can change quickly to get re-engaged
If you are currently working this message is needed so you can start
preparing today and make the most for yourself from the changes we all will be
facing.
Looking forward to seeing you – You Don't want to miss this critical
perspective of the future and its' impact on you and your career.
