ITEN LinkedIn New Features

In an effort to provide you with easier access to information and advice that can directly impact the likelihood of success, ITEN has initiated a new feature for ITEN companies that we hope will really be a great help.
 
We have established 3 new Linked-In subgroups where a number of ITEN's subject matter expert mentors are already standing by to answer questions or comment on issues that are critical to the success of ITEN companies.   The primary objective is for ITEN to provide you a way of getting a quick and direct answer to a question that is challenging you, without having to go through the process of finding a new mentor.
     
The 3 subgroups with some of our most sought-after mentors already present are:
 
Sales and Marketing
Finance and HR
Technology and Operations

 
This service is made available to companies that have joined ITEN through applying as a start-up on the ITEN website, www.itenstl.org. 
To take advantage of this new service, you need to join the ITEN Linked-In group if you haven’t done so  already.   The ITEN group is at http://www.linkedin.com/groups?mostPopular=&gid=774437   Once in the ITEN group, an ITEN company or an ITEN mentor can join any of the 3 subgroups where
  • you can pose your question in the form of a new discussion in that subgroup;
  • You can also check out the discussions started by other entrepreneurs, which will often be of interest to you as well.
Our Q&A service via Linked-In is not intended to take the place of a more focused relationship with a mentor or mentors.   If your challenge involves moving your company forward, I highly recommend you go to the ITEN website and use Mentor Match to find an appropriate mentor or mentors for your company.   But if what you really need is just a simple answer or direct advice on a specific situation, our new service through the Linked-In subgroups might be just the thing.
 
So, please join our Linked-In site and then give our subgroup Q&A service a try. Feel free to let us know what you think, but most of all: continued wishes for the success for your venture!
 
 

Innovate St. Louis Names New CEO

 

At the June board meeting of Innovate St. Louis, Barbara Brinkman was named the new CEO of Innovate St. Louis.  Barbara replaces Frank Stokes who earlier announced his retirement.   Frank steps down after leading Innovate since its inception in 2007, during which time Innovate St. Louis has grown to include the IT Coalition, ITEN, Sourcelink, and Venture Mentoring Service.  
 
Barbara brings a lot of enthusiasm to her new challenge to advance the bi-state St. Louis region's rise as a national and international leader in entrepreneurship and innovation. Prior to Innovate, Barbara took an interim role as Development Director for the School District of Clayton.  Her executive career includes the role of Vice President of Marketing for Macy's and Famous-Barr.  Her experience is in financial planning and budgeting, database and relationship management, loyalty programs and development.  At Macy's she spearheaded changes in media and market mix to improve the return on investment ROI by 96%.  She has a thorough knowledge in developing and executing a brand strategy both internally and externally. Barbara also specializes in business process improvement utilizing technology and team collaboration.  In addition she has direct experience navigating and excelling through mergers and acquisitions.  Working with the American Red Cross she launched the national Ready Rating disaster recovery program with the City of Clayton. She is pursuing further education and will graduate in May 2011 in the Executive Masters of Business Administration EMBA program at Washington University. She also received her Bachelor's degree from Washington University. 
 
Barbara is very excited about all of the opportunities for growth that are available for Innovate and has already taken an active interest in ITEN, including attending our Second Thursday networking session in June.
