day in the life: my time in transition
DESCRIPTION
June 2008, I was laid off as a Digital Resources Coordinator. Six months shy of completing my Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree, I created a strategy that I utilized while in "Transition" that I am sharing in this presentation. I hope it helps my fellow Librarians, and anyone out of work. Good Luck guys:)TRANSCRIPT

What is Strategy?
A 1996 Harvard Business Review article by Michael Porter, introduced these concepts as it relates to strategy:
Operational Effectiveness –Making the best products while utilizing the least resources.
Positioning – Who are you? How do you want to be seen?
Distribution – Where can people find your product (you)?
