MAKE TUCSON GREAT, PART 3:
ALGORITHMS AT WORK: HOW TECHNOLOGY IS CHANGING WORK & LIFE
Singularity is artificial superintelligence that triggers runaway technology resulting in unfathomable changes to civilization. Singularity may have enormous repercussions for Tucson Entrepreneurs and businesses around the world.
SoftBank Group is raising $100 Billion to pursue Singularity:
https://techcrunch.com/2017/02/27/superintelligent-ai-explains-softbanks-push-to-raise-a-100bn-vision-fund/
What will our future be as this technology is developed – will it eventually destroy us or be used to create world peace? How will technology affect life and work over the next few years, the next decade, and for future generations?
Some claim that Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) may cause the creation of a massive uncorking class – people devoid of any economic, political, or even artistic value, and who contribute nothing to the prosperity, power, and glory of society: http://ideas.ted.com/the-rise-of-the-useless-class/
Alternatively, here is an optimistic view: http://drinly.com/trend/jeremy-rifkin-the-zero-marginal-cost-society-talks-at-google-50691
Join us in a lively roundtable discussion for Part 3 of the Tucson Entrepreneurs series “Make Tucson Great” – how technology is and will continue to affect work, the workplace, and our lives.
Lead by Arek R. Fressadi and moderated by Jodi R. Netzer, Director of Tucson Entrepreneurs. Hosted by the University of Phoenix.
Arek R. Fressadi was a senior management consultant with FMI and facilitated numerous seminars for the AEC industry (architecture, engineering, and construction). Arek also has provided consulting services to federal, state, and territorial government on organizational design, team building, strategic planning, and improved productivity. His clients achieve a 25% to 400% increase in productivity and profit.

MAKE TUCSON GREAT, PART 2:
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS – RISING COSTS & "TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE"
In our previous session, we discussed the ramifications of a rising minimum wage. In this session, we consider employee benefits. What is the purpose of providing employee benefits? The cost of employee benefits are rising, but there are creative ways to manage them that may also enhance the “Triple Bottom Line”: People, Planet, Profit. We will address other opportunities that increase employee engagement to boost productivity and increase quality of products and services. Does an ethical approach to business lead to more profits?

MAKE TUCSON GREAT, PART 1:
IMPACTS OF THE ELECTION & THE NEW MINIMUM WAGE
The recent election means that more changes are coming to Tucson. Arizona passed Proposition 206, raising the minimum wage to $10 in 2017 and then incrementally to $12 by 2020, and creating a right to paid sick time off from employment. How will this impact employers? How will this impact working families? How will this impact other areas of business and the Tucson community?

JUNE MEETUP
SPECIAL GUEST: ART JONES "SALES IS DEAD! NOW WHAT?"
GET FREE TIX: tucson-entrepreneurs-art-jones.eventbrite.com
Guest Speaker ART JONES flips salesmanship on its head by engaging in HUMAN CENTERED DESIGN. Learn how to create a message that gets you raging fans without feeling sleazy.
WHY THE OLD WAY OF SALES “KICKED THE BUCKET”...
Prior to the advent of social media, we called upon salespeople because they had the information we needed to make informed buying decisions. Now we live in a digital age with more people in command of more information than ever before. Today 80% of every decision to buy anything is only made after consulting an on or offline network. After consulting those networks, 68% of consumers know what they want to buy, who they want to buy it from, and how much the are willing to pay. Today, we are all salespeople offering products, services, and ideas to our customers. In order to grow our businesses, we must reach new customers with strategies relevant to the technologies and cultures of the times.
THE NEW WAY OF HUMAN-BEING...
In this session you will learn how to employ a HUMAN CENTERED DESIGN approach to:
- Build your brand strategy
- Liberate the brand stories that call your audience to take action
- Optimize your marketing strategy to grow your community of raving fans
- Maximize revenue growth by collaborating with your customers to co-create solutions that are win-win!
ABOUT ART JONES...
ART JONES has 30+ years of experience working as sales leader and technology solution architect for Forbes 2000 class companies and start-ups. In 2008, Art rode the groundswell created by social media platforms to found "The Art of Inbound Marketing”. In 2014, the business evolved to take a holistic approach to growth hacking and became "The Art of Standing Out" (TAOSO).

JANUARY MEETUP
OVERCOME BIG CHANGES IN SOCIAL MEDIA + FIND YOUR TRUE TRIBE
3 PROGRAMS IN 1
OVERCOME BIG CHANGES IN SOCIAL MEDIA
Facebook is the largest social media website and they are making BIG changes in the way your audience sees your posts. Your messages will be even harder to be seen. Reports reveal how Facebook is poised to treat ALL page posts as ads. This means that they will require payment for your posts to be seen by your audience. At this Tucson Entrepreneurs January MeetUp, learn about workarounds and alternatives to Facebook that will get your messages seen. Led by Lisa Bunker, Social Media Librarian at Pima County Public Library.
AND...
FIND YOUR TRUE TRIBE
Do you really know who your TRUE tribe is? If you say that your business is for EVERYONE, then you are most likely not connecting with people who will understand, appreciate, and respond to who you are and what you do. Get tips on how to live happier and be more successful in your business by connecting your passions & purpose with identifying & engaging your TRUE tribe. Led by Jodi Netzer, Director of Tucson Entrepreneurs & CEO of GoGoKarma™.
