For other organizations wishing to launch an initiative similar to CASASTART-UP, Amy Sutnick Plotch, president of Amy Sutnick Plotch Communications and Lianne Schoenwiesner, president of People Tech Connections, say it’s important to test your training model until it’s pitch perfect. Both offer these following best practices:
• “Invest up front in understanding your audience and the best way to meet their needs,” says Plotch.
• Develop a comprehensive plan and keep on testing it so you know it works.
• “Look for original partnerships that might be beneficial,” says Schoenwiesner.
