Listen to the Interview with Robert Green

Robert Green will be at CAD Midwest on November 4th presenting:
Good to Great Technology Management
Using the concepts developed by Jim Collins in his book Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap…and Others Don’t, we will explore why some companies achieve such great results from their technology while others don’t—even though they may be using exactly the same software and hardware. We will move along Collins’ processes for identifying your leadership style, fulfilling core company needs, technology accelerators, building technology momentum, instilling discipline, and changing the technology culture of your company. In this interactive presentation, you will be encouraged to confront your assumptions about what managing technology really means and how you can transform your CAD processes from good to great as you do so. Want to shake up the way you view technology management and get fresh motivation? If so, this class is for you.

AutoCAD 2012 Tips & Tricks
Curious about the latest AutoCAD release?  Let Robert Green show you how AutoCAD 2012 brings some cool new features that are worth integrating into your command vocabulary.  We’ll look at the new Associative Array and Model Documentation features, the ability to import geometry from other CAD systems, new UCS controls, Multifunctional grips, the Content Explorer and more.  Along the way we’ll look at some cool features you may have missed if you’ve skipped a release or two!  We’ll also sneak a peek at some improvements to the installation/deployment feature set and improved migration controls to speed your transition from prior AutoCAD versions.
