NetVision's Internet Strategic Planning Workshop

Welcome to NetVision's Internet Strategic Planning Resource Center

HOT OFF THE PRESS: We have just posted our most recent article for the Canadian Professional Sales Association, entitled "From Sales to Business Facilitation on the Internet". It discusses the themes disclosed in our recent presentation (posted below) as they apply to selling online. We hope you find it insightful, and as always welcome your comments.

NEW: Due to popular demand, we have now posted all the presentation materials from our seminar at the Canadian National Internet Show (CNIS), held on March 28th, 1996 in Toronto:

Beyond the Web: Doing Business as a Member of Virtual Communities.

Understand the real value of the Internet as a business tool, beyond the over-hyped World Wide Web. Find out how to use the Internet as a communication tool to foster compelling relationships within virtual communities that are loyal to your products and services. Discover the unprecedented potential of the Internet for closing a sale.

We realize that in isolation from the narration (particularly if you did not attend our session) viewing these slides may cause some confusion about the points that are being made. We therefore encourage you to ask questions, and as such have modified the slides to allow you to send us an e-mail message from each one.

NetVision is developing this site for you, if you:

influence the strategic direction of your enterprise;
are responsible for the Internet initiatives in your organization, ie. head up the Internet task-force; or
are the Internet champion at your place of work.

Our Goal

We believe that the Internet will cause a revolution in the way we live and work. It will change not only the way business is conducted, but the very nature of many existing businesses and public institutions. Decisions about "getting on the Internet" therefore, have strategic implication to every organization and must involve senior management.

Our goal is to help organizations visualize their business within an internetworked world, develop a strategy for maximizing the value of the Internet, and take practical steps toward achieving their objectives. Our direct efforts are being focused on:

However, we hope that this Web site will help to create initial awareness about the implications of the Internet, and will stimulate thoughtful discussion about both the hazards and the opportunities anticipated on the road to a digital economy.

Tell us. How can we help you?

Your feedback will be invaluable in making this web site a resource to which you will want to return often, for valuable, current information, and thoughtful discussion on the issues facing your organization during these transformational times. Our initial plans are to provide you with the following:

Assistance with making the case to senior management for adopting a strategic view of the Internet;
Material that discloses the anticipated implications of an ubiquitous Internet, or information superhighway;
Case studies of current examples of strategic uses of the Internet (see NEW above);
Discussion of issues facing organizations during the transition to a universally internetworked world; and
Tools to help you develop a strategic plan for the Internet.

Thanks for visiting.
