At 1080 Group we presume you’ve got a brain…you bring knowledge and experience to the table. It’s likely you don’t need us to cover some aspects of virtual presentations and need to go deeply on others.

It’s why we avoid trying to tie a nice bow around a box (read: a datasheet). Rather, we partner with you to match Services (means of engaging your audience with knowledge) with Learning Objectives (the knowledge/skills you where need your learners to develop professional excellence).

Services

Presentations and Workshops

As mentioned in our Approach, there is no one way to deliver learning content. Presentations, workshops, training sessions, consulting, and even on-demand videos are valid – each appropriate in its place.

• Content: early-stage “thought leadership” to later-stage “applied skills” topics, always tailored to your audience and objectives
• See Roger’s Curriculum Vitae for examples of historically delivered programs
• See the Learning Objectives outline below to jumpstart your vision of learning outcomes 1080 Group can assist with
• Venues: online, offline, or blended: webinars, webcasts, virtual classrooms, and/or blended seminars (in-classroom with laptops simultaneously)

Event and Presentation Audits

Sometimes the place to start is figuring out where you’re at – strengths and opportunities to improve. The Audit is a written report, typically 5-8 pages in length, with an in-depth analysis and set of recommendations.

• Events: invitation-to-final-survey analysis, 1080 Group begins with analysis of the invitation, user experience from an ‘every click’ perspective, presentation and presenter delivery
• Presentation: analysis and recommendations of a PowerPoint (or equivalent) deck to optimize it for use in a webinar/webcast/virtual presentation

Content Licensing

Entirely tailored for you, 1080 Group will produce content (or tailor existing products) for you to deliver for lead generation, presenter training, or train-the-trainer applications.

• Train-the-presenters on-demand videos: short, executive-style videos to help your virtual presenters up their game
• Training curriculum, train-the-trainer: instructional design & adaptation of 1080 Group content for your instructors to deliver
• “Sponsored by” ebook: high-value marketing tool to deliver high conversion rates (example: The Virtual Presenter’s Handbook)

Decision-Support Intelligence

If you have few criteria for selecting technology or service vendors, nearly any vendor will do. However, as you push the limits of what your systems and processes can do, you’ll likely find yourself in need of requirements development that takes advantage of a broader intelligence landscape. 1080 Group adheres to strict ethical guidelines (as established by Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals) for gathering and sharing corporate decision-making intelligence.

• RFP development
• Vendor investigation and analysis
