http://GeorgeMolson.tigblog.org/ What's on the minds of young leaders from around the globe? en-us http://GeorgeMolson.tigblog.org/post/99 presentation on cobranding and advertising and Jen went through the big picture
objectives for TIG. We received some really great feedback from a number of
people. If I had to boil down a few hours of discussion to three issues that I think are really important, they'd be:

• The need to support our partners through offering value added
  services, possibly through a partners section.


• Preparing the social and technical structure of our organization so that
  it scales well as we go through a heavy expansion period (including
  internationalization of content).


• Catering our presentation and promotional material to the people we will
  be approaching, as well as providing them with a key set of metrics to help
  them measure who they reach and how far they reach.

A few points that I found interesting were

• The breadth and scope of TIG's mission may be making what we do unclear to
  some partners. "We are focused- just focused broadly " - Derek
  Martin


• TIG is unique in that it has become successful in the wake of a failing
  dot-com economy ("TIG is a winner arising out of the ashes of a
  devastated  market" )


•  TIG addresses an overlooked market of young people who want to get
  involved with technology yet their needs are overlooked by both schools and
  clubs, and this makes it a hotspot for highly motivated youth.

On another note, we went out to a great restaurant for lunch today and I we had a chance to discuss where TIG is going strategically. Derek recently got in contact with one of the top executives at Bell - He's always surprising us with something, go Derek! Nordine and I were discussing ways to better connect users with events and organizations. We will be reviewing some of our strategies tomorrow evening at the core members meeting.]]> Mon, 14 May 2001 23:00:00 EDT http://GeorgeMolson.tigblog.org/post/89 43.6666667 -79.416666743.6666667-79.4166667 http://GeorgeMolson.tigblog.org/post/57 Mon, 07 May 2001 22:40:00 EDT http://GeorgeMolson.tigblog.org/post/57 43.6666667 -79.416666743.6666667-79.4166667 http://GeorgeMolson.tigblog.org/post/43 Thu, 03 May 2001 23:03:00 EDT http://GeorgeMolson.tigblog.org/post/43 43.6666667 -79.416666743.6666667-79.4166667
