with Mike Song
Wednesday, September 16th, 2020
Virtual event - link in registration email
6:30pm – 8:30pm
What’s your technology profile? Most professionals have no idea! In this groundbreaking seminar, Mike Song shows how all professionals fit into four distinct technology types. Better yet, Mike will help you understand your technology profile while delivering an action plan and amazing tech tips that will help you get more done.
Mike will explain how to assess tech proficiency via The TQAT (Tech Quotient Assessment Tool). The TQAT includes a sixty-question survey and algorithm that determines your technology type in the same way that the Myers-Briggs test defines personality types.
The development of the TQAT has far-reaching implications for HR, OD, IT, and anyone interested in the Future of Work. It provides a much-needed way to classify every employee’s tech aptitude so that they can receive targeted encouragement, mentorship, and training. When TQ rises, it helps leaders lead, salespeople sell, and everyone gets more done.
Bonus: Mike will share exciting TQ case studies from Capital One and Novartis.
Mike has presented this topic at the ATD International Conference and Expo as well as the ATD New England Chapter, to rave reviews.
Background:
Training professionals know about IQ and EQ (Emotional Intelligence). Now it's time to focus on boosting TQ or Technical Intelligence across the enterprise.
What is the Digital Skills Gap? A growing digital skills gap is impacting worker performance and ultimately businesses success. This gap is growing due to challenges faced by the advanced use of technology and how people adjust to automation issues.
Only 1-in-10 workers feel proficient with their everyday digital tools
Poor digital skills lower productivity by 21% costing $1.3 trillion a year
