president’s perspective With spring well upon us, new initiatives in the Fox Cities area are sprouting up everywhere. This month, our magazine looks at some exciting and unique initiatives.

First of all, who hasn’t utilized or read about some form of new technology in the last year? From our industrial and manufacturing plants making strides to streamline processes to our small businesses being able to take credit card payments on their iPad or tablet, changes abound daily. Thomas Bishop and Jeff Hayes both look at ways everyone can benefit from the newest business technology innovations.

Last month’s FVTC Referendum cleared the way for not only the expansion and improvement of existing programs but for some new ones. Dr. Susan May shares information about a new printing course guaranteeing that the Fox Valley Technical College produces the next generation of printing specialists. Junior Achievement recently produced a survey for students emphasizing the importance of innovation

and the dreaming of big goals for today’s young generation.

Outdoor living means WELLNESS again comes to the forefront. Just yesterday, our area was touted as the number one spot in the nation for sportsmen. Dr. Margie Weiss writes how the Well Cities Fox Cities newest programs: Adopt-A-Student and Adopt-An-Employer will create a healthier, happier community.

Lastly, but certainly never least, I am so pleased to announce that Jim Marks from Fox Cities Sign and Lighting Services, Inc. is our April Business of the Month.

Jim’s involvement in the community as well as his overwhelming service record makes him the perfect first recipient of our newest iniatitive to recognize outstanding local businesses.

I hope you enjoy the weather this spring and realize the uniqueness of our area as we continue to be the progressive and innovative Fox Cities.

Get the Most Out of Your Next Business Trip Jeff Hayes

Which technologies are the most useful when traveling for business? One great value provided by the Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce is opportunity for its members to learn through foreign travel. To see and experience other cultures is to place our brains in a “fast learn” cycle. On a recent business trip to Japan, I felt technologically better prepared than ever before for foreign travel. Here are some tips for helping you to become a “business savant” on your next trip:

Devices: • iPhone: I recommend a GSM-based iPhone such as with AT&T. Recently AT&T has gotten their preparing for foreign travel script down to a science. I had no trouble anywhere with inbound or outbound calls, text messaging, email communication or even billing after the fact.

• iPad: I took an iPad along as well as a notebook computer. Because I also have a keyboard for the iPad, I found that I didn’t need the notebook at all.

The mobile apps or applications we found to be the most valuable included: • iBooks (or eBooks in general): There are some excellent books available to help you build affinity with your foreign business counterparts. Learning a bit about their culture is both a compliment to them and an important strategic business tool.

But don’t carry books around.

• Fly Delta (app): This single app takes a lot of the struggle out of travel. If you’re flying Delta Airlines, install this app as soon as possible. It tracks frequent flyer numbers, your itinerary, checks your flight status(es), looks up alternative flights and optionally alerts you when it’s time to check-in.

• MasterCard ATM Hunter (app): This app does one thing well and that is to help MasterCard customers find the nearest ATMs that will allow them to get cash. In a place like Japan where a very small percentage of the ATMs are likely to work with your bank card, this is a valuable tool.

• Social Media: Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Instagram.

Stay in touch with your followers, particularly when you have something novel to share.

• LinkedIn: Some industries and many parts of the world have not yet widely adopted the use of LinkedIn. Show your potential business partners how to share their professional information and trusted contacts by inviting them to join you on LinkedIn.

One final thought: It’s not enough to purchase devices and download the apps you think you’ll use. You need to become adept at using the technology before you hop on the plane.

Designing User Experiences for Our Customers thomas bishop

BISHOP CREATIVE

We all want our businesses to grow. We want our customers to fall in love with our products because at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about. This especially rings true online. Our customers’ experiences online should be carefully crafted and consistent with our business offline. What we should really be after is a simplified approach designed around *User Experience*.

things: it is intuitive, it is consistent and it has clear messaging.

What does it mean for our businesses? Simply put, much of the time it means the difference between gaining or retaining a customer, and losing a valuable customer.

It’s not always that black and white, but common sense dictates that if your customers aren’t enjoying their experiences online, it’s going to leave a sour – Jesse James Garrett taste in their mouths. And What is User because it’s an extension Experience? User of our businesses, it is a Experience (UX) representation of our brands and should is defined as: “the way a person be at the core of all of our businesses, feels about using a product, regardless of industry. system or service.”

A great online user So what should we be doing differently? experience essentially Unfortunately, there isn’t a magic button we boils down to a few can press to achieve a great user experience online, but what we can do is adjust our mental approach to that of experiences.

Focusing on that approach can only have a positive effect on our businesses. In turn, this will help our customers find what they need and will be more likely to love our brands.

”What makes people passionate, pure and simple, is great experiences.”

My personal recommendation is this: hire an expert. Although we all know what we like and what works for us, that doesn’t make us UX experts. Hire somebody who really understands the patterns, psychology and art behind UX, because in the end it will make your customers happier.

Moving Forward Towards a Healthier Fox Cities Margie weiss

CEO, Weiss Health Group

Research has shown that work-based, schoolbased and community-based wellness initiatives can make a difference in the health of a whole community. Well City Fox Cities (WCFC) is a volunteer-based initiative encouraging healthy lifestyles through employer-based wellness efforts.

WCFC is determined to obtain a Well City designation for this area over a 3-year period. WCFC has representatives from so many of our local companies involved in the WCFC initiative. WCFC has 56 employers, representing over 34,215 employees, which is 23% of the employed workforce in the Fox Cities.

Members from the all-volunteer Advisory Board, along with WELCOA, facilitate Learning Circles, each focusing on one of the seven Benchmarks of Wellness.

effective. Fox Cities companies who have met the standards of excellence as defined

by WELCOA’s Well Workplace Model over the past year include: Affinity Health System, Appleton, Aurora Health Care and Kimberly Clark Corporation. Previous award winners in 2011 include: Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, J.J. Keller, Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company, Werner Electric Supply and We Energies.

School-based and community-based wellness initiatives can make a difference in the health of a whole community.

Recently, WCFC held the second annual awards event. The cornerstone of the Wellness Council of America is the Well Workplace Awards process. By successfully integrating the Seven Benchmarks of resultsoriented programs, the Well Workplace Award winners have demonstrated that their programs are not only comprehensive, but 8

Adopt-An-Employer

The WCFC advisory Committee also procured grant funding to help local companies in their efforts to achieve Well Workplace awards.

Appleton Area School District (AASD) used the Adopt an Employer funds to encourage healthy, sustainable transportation alternatives and to help promote a Bike to Work Day. AASD also promoted participation in the Get up & Ride Bike Challenge. AZCO, Inc. used funds from Adopt an Employer to move to a targeted HRA on-site screening process for biometrics.

This onsite coaching was found to be more effective in supporting healthy lifestyle behaviors. The Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce initiated a wellness committee to develop and implement targeted wellness programs. The Chamber has changed its catering guidelines for meetings to promote

healthier eating. Galloway Company identified peer involvement as being a critical component to the success of the wellness programs. Company representatives attended the Wellness Conference in September, 2011. Adopt an Employer’s funds supported the “Moo”ver’s 8 week Fitness Challenge.” United Way Fox Cities sent staff to a Well Workplace University and purchased HRA and biometric screening services.

Adopt-A-Student WCFC encourages youth-directed healthy lifestyle initiatives through Adopt-A-Student Grants. This year WCFC awarded four Adopt-A-Student grants. The Johnston Elementary School Recess Committee oversees a recess cart of equipment for all school recess periods. Many students enjoy using the soccer balls, footballs, volleyballs, football tees, short and

long jump ropes, and playground balls. At times it is difficult to hand out the equipment fast enough.

The Adopt a student funds will be used to purchase new equipment for the recess cart. Mrs. Marnie Schneider’s 3rd Grade Class at Coolidge Elementary was interested in how they could improve their overall wellness and keep their bodies healthy. Sitting on an exercise ball promotes flexibility, coordination, motor skills, core strengthening, and balance. Mrs. Schneider’s third grade class is the pilot for the whole school. They will be purchasing 26 stability balls for next school year. The Huntley Healthy Kids plan improves the health and wellness of Huntley staff and students by encouraging healthy snacks, trying out new healthy foods and enhancing the creative writing skills of the students.

Has the Recession Created a Generation Too Scared to Dream Big? Steve Erb, President, Board of Directors Junior Achievement of Wisconsin - Fox Cities and Oshkosh The economic downturn affected American families’ finances on a variety of fronts, and reminded us of the importance of carefully preparing for a rainy day, by not overextending ourselves financially and having a monetary safety net in place. Yet have we given equal thought to the important role that our children’s career paths can play, not only in their economic futures, but in the economic future of our nation? The recession may have made us more fiscally prudent, but did it make us too scared to dream?

a significant majority—71 percent— said they would give up their dream job for one that paid a higher salary.

American innovation is at the core of what makes us great—the will to take chances and go all in on an idea. For us to maintain our status as an economic superpower, we need to keep dreaming, and dream big.

As we recover from the recession, have we given thought to how it affected our children’s beliefs that they can be anything they want to be? These things are clear: we need to nurture our young peoples’ abilities to dream, and we need to give them the tools to plan and achieve those dreams. We can’t let America get left behind in the global economy.

Junior Achievement USA and the ING Foundation recently surveyed a national sample of teens, asking them what their ideal job is, how confident they are that they’ll achieve their dream job, and perhaps most tellingly, if they’d give up that dream job for one that paid a higher salary. Less than half the teens we surveyed (43 percent) said they were very confident they’d have their “dream” job. Yet

There is a lot of talk—particularly now, during the presidential campaign—about the importance of creating jobs. And we agree, it is critical to create jobs to spur economic growth. But how will those jobs be created? It is through the power of American ingenuity and innovation, and the strength which lies in the belief that an idea can change the world.

When we asked teens about their ideal job, more than half (61 percent) said it was in science, technology, engineering, math or medicine. This is where the future of American innovation lies, and it is critical that we support our young people’s pursuit of these careers.

Fox Cities Chamber Business MAY 2012

Junior Achievement has been empowering young people to live their dreams for nearly a century.

We currently reach more than 4 million students nationwide and locally we impact more than 21,000 students in the Fox Cities and Oshkosh this year, giving them the skills, knowledge and confidence to live their dreams. We teach students how to start and grow their own businesses, by doing it.

We give students a safe environment in which to practice 21st century skills, such as problem-solving and teamwork, which are key to success in today’s business world.

This critical education helps instill appropriate tolerance for risk, the understanding that failure is often the key to success, and most importantly, the guts to chase a dream.

The American Dream—and a robust economy—are out there. We must help our young people reach out and achieve them.

printing industry

A Sleeping Giant Bruce Stroik, plant director for Quad Graphics with 30-plus years of experience in the printing and publishing industry, presented information on the health of the industry to nearly 100 visitors during Fox Valley Technical College’s annual Printing Technologies Open House.

Stroik emphasized that the printing industry is not dead; rather, it is constantly evolving through increased integration with mobile technology. Ironically, ink on paper is one of the leading resources of flexible data solutions for companies large and small, serving more than ever as the primary driver for all channels of information and marketing. These channels include retail, print, web, mobile, digital editions, e-mail, and social media.

“With all the communicative and marketing technology at our fingertips, there is an abundance of opportunity for skilled

printing and publishing professionals to be part of an industry that continues to drive innovation,” says Stroik. “One of the biggest challenges the industry faces is attracting and hiring enough people with a passion for print and print specific skills for rewarding careers in the printing industry.

Fox Valley Technical College is a prime example of a reputable, local resource that produces the next generation of printing specialists.”

Quad Graphics, based in Lomira, Wisconsin, is the second largest provider of print and multichannel solutions in the world. Fox Valley Technical College offers degree-based training in both Package & Label Printing and Printing & Publishing, in addition to customized workplace training and print trial assessments for industry.

U.S. Chamber Honors 298 Pro-Business Members of Congress with Spirit of Enterprise Award Lawmakers Recognized for Supporting America’s Job Creators The U.S. Chamber of Commerce recently honored 248 members of the House and 50 members of the Senate with the annual Spirit of Enterprise Award for their support of pro-jobs, pro-growth policies during the first session of the 112th Congress.

“Faced with difficult choices and high-stakes politics, these men and women provided America’s business community with a strong voice in Congress,” said Thomas J. Donohue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber. “We honor these members today for having consistently demonstrated their support for America’s job creators.”

The Chamber’s prestigious Spirit of Enterprise Award, in its 24th year, is given annually to members of Congress based on key business issues outlined in the Chamber publication “How They Voted.” Members who support the Chamber’s position on at least 70% of those votes qualify to receive the award.

The Chamber scored Congress on 11 Senate and 16 House votes in 2011, including the repeal of 1099 reporting requirements, the 3% withholding from contractors, and the health care law. Also scored were votes for a surface transportation extension and the free trade agreements, including South Korea and Columbia.

Here are the scores of the Wisconsin delegation, with the Spirit of Enterprise winners in bold. The Spirit of Enterprise Award is given to members with scores above 70%.

marketing 101 Forget Facebook and Twitter,

Pinterest is the latest social media craze for business Have you heard of the latest social media trend called Pinterest?

Pinterest is a new social media site that acts as an online bulletin board of images. The site allows users to catalogue and share images within their networks. Why should businesses care? Pinterest gives businesses another way to tell their story and encourage people to visit their website. All images on Pinterest link back to the original website, allowing for a new channel for people to find your company online. You never know how someone will find you and this is another platform to distribute your content. If you decide to try out this new site, here are some tips to get the most out of your investment.

1. Make sure your company is a good fit. Just like any other social media site, make sure Pinterest fits your company. Even though most social media sites are free, they all require a far more valuable resource, time. Pick social sites that you feel your team can manage well. It’s far better to be great at a few rather than be mediocre or poor at many.

2. Invest upfront. Take the time on the front-end to fully understand Pinterest and how people are utilizing the site. Build your boards and

14

follow others before promoting your participation.

3. Find inspiration. Pinterest is all about sharing ideas, visually.

In addition to sharing your great content, make sure to find inspiration for yourself and your company from other people’s boards. Unlike, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn which were built on connecting people, Pinterest was built on visual inspiration and creativity. People connect with one another because they find the other person’s boards interesting.

4. Determine how you will use the site. Keep in mind that Pinterest is all about imagery, so make sure your website/blog utilizes lots of interesting images that tell a story about your company. Consider adding text to your images to further describe why someone would be interested. Text can be added directly to the image or in the description below the image. Many products are pinned and repinned on Pinterest as well. Some of these products have the price listed right in the image making it easy for people to gather information about products they are interested in. Prices can

Fox Cities Chamber Business MAY 2012

be easily added to any image simply by entering in the price when pinning an image. Lastly, Pinterest is a great platform to run contests and promote sales.

If you determine that Pinterest would be a valuable channel for your company, make sure to think about your products and services visually.

Great content should be the primary driver for your Pinterest involvement.

Finally, make sure to track your efforts. Pinterest makes it very easy to track pins from your site, simply visit pinterest.com/source/yourwebsite. com/.

The 2012 Fox Cities 8th Grade Career Fair was a huge success. On March 28, approximately 3,200 students from the Fox Cities explored career options while participating in a valuable, relevant and educational experience. Eighth graders from 25 public and private middle schools participated. More than 90 adult volunteers representing 60 different business disciplines presented to the students.

We work closely with schools to ensure that this is a valuable experience for both students and presenters. Students take a career assessment to help determine which of the three career clusters they will visit. Volunteers from business and industry staffed 55 booths in 16 different “career clusters�. They explained required education and the necessary communication skills needed to interact with co-workers. Presenters offered a short interactive activity or display. This experience will help inspire students to choose appropriate high school courses for their future careers.

Cluster areas included Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources; Architecture and Construction; Arts, A/V Technology and Communications; Business, Management and Administration; Education and Training; Finance, Government and Public Administration; Health Science; Hospitality and Tourism; Human Services; Information Technology; Law, Public Safety and Security; Manufacturing; Marketing; Sales and Service; Science; Technology, Engineering and Mathematics; and Transportation, Distribution and Logistics.

Let the Name Calling Begin!

Call Me “Over Achiever”

I’ve been called an “Over Achiever” all my life.

With four children, a job I love, and involvement on multiple boards and committees, I’ve learned the art of prioritizing.

Aside from my family, my clients come first; I always work over and above what they expect from a builder to help them achieve the building they need to grow and expand their businesses. My love of construction and passion for this community are the reasons I strive to achieve beyond anyone’s expectations.

I am a face of Keller, and whatever you choose to call me, I hope to show you that I will do my best to get your project completed on time and within your budget. I am an Employee Owner, Project Manager, and Design/Build Expert. But don’t just take me at face value, call today and experience for yourself the difference that is Keller, Inc.
