International Convention and Education Forum:
The role of the administrative professional is rapidly changing. Here’s what industry experts are saying:
- The administrative professional’s job today requires skills in management functions and technology, including: project management; integrated computer software applications; organization and scheduling; Internet/Intranet communications and research; document preparation, storage, and retrieval, with emphasis on electronic recordkeeping; customer service and public relations.
- Projects of all kinds fall under their purview. They schedule, track, budget, and coordinate teams next door or halfway around the world.
- With little formal training, administrative professionals are learning new software features and shortcuts by absorbing information from manuals, colleagues, online resources and user groups— across town and across cyberspace.
- Admins have redesigned their work to
do it better, faster, and cheaper by moving from paper to
electronic— for purchasing, scheduling, making travel
arrangements, conducting meetings, collaborating on documents,
and screening resumes for open positions.
To be ready for these and other exciting changes taking place in the administrative profession, come to Minneapolis, MN, July 26--29 and get the skills you need to navigate in today’s chaotic and highly competitive workplace.
- Learn the latest desktop shortcuts to use technology to its max.
- Meet with colleagues from around the world. Find out what is really going on when they say that all businesses are global today— no matter the size of the company.
- Exchange ideas with people in your industry— broaden your networks to solve similar problems without reinventing the wheel.
- Gain the new skills required for admins by learning how to think, act, and respond like a manager.
- Explore the trends that are predicted for the next five years so you can better position yourself and your organization.
