Whether you, your department, or your overall organisation is

operational improvements, the chances are that you need to develop new
e-services or e-products, new ways of working, and communicating new
information and knowledge to your customers.
Marketing yourself, your products and your services, and leading and
managing internal change, are not luxuries: they are a necessity for any
professional looking to successfully position themselves and their
business in today's economic climate. Understanding where you and your
stakeholders are in the change process, and proactively promoting new
products and services are essential skills for any information
