HAYS, Kan. – Two workshops focusing on accountability and technology tips in business will be offered by Fort Hays State University’s Management Development Center in April.

The first workshop will be from 8:30 a.m. to noon Thursday, April 11, and the second workshop will be from 8:30 a.m. to noon Wednesday, April 17. Both workshops will be held in the Memorial Union’s Stouffer Lounge.

“Building Powerful Teams with Accountability” will address how to hold others on a team accountable to achieve desired results, the importance of setting clear expectations, delivering in a shorter timeframe and more.

While many companies are utilizing massive and complex project management, customer relationship and inventory management systems, there are an abundance of other cost-effective ways companies can use technology to increase productivity and efficiency in businesses of all sizes.

“Tech Tips for Business” will provide individuals with a better understanding of tools, systems and topics such as responsive and progressive websites and applications, chatbots, blockchain, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and more. Interactive examples and tutorials will demonstrate applications for businesses of any type, size and sector.

At the end of the workshop, you will be able to quickly adopt and implement cost-effective solutions that can help improve productivity, business performance and customer engagement regardless of your current technical proficiency.

A completion certificate and 3.0 continuing education units will be given to each workshop participant.

The accountability workshop will be facilitated by Gina Riedel, owner of Gina Riedel Results, and Tech Tips will be facilitated by Dr. Nicholas Caporusso, assistant professor of informatics. The workshops will cost $119 each. A 15-percent discount applies for all Hays Area Chamber of Commerce Members for a single session. Contact the MDC Department to receive the discount.
