What is a SAVE webcast?
A SAVE webcast is a live, interactive 60-minute conference presented over the telephone and over the Internet. You can attend from any location that has telephone and Internet access. You pay just one registration fee for as many participants as you wish at each call/log-in location.

Note that high-speed Internet access is not mandatory – the system works with dial-up but you must have separate connections for the audio and video portions. You may use cell phones for the audio if you have only one connection.

Who presents at a SAVE webcast?
Your webcast will have one or more speakers who are recognized experts on the topic. Conferences typically include a Q&A session; you can ask questions by phone or instant messaging options

What does my registration include?
Your registration includes long-distance charges for the audio portion and log-in to the video presentation. Once logged in, all handouts/presentation files are downloadable prior to the start of the webcast.

Buy In or Buy Out? - Applying Proven Strategies to Create VE Champions!
Date: Thursday, February 18, 2010
Time: 11:00 AM ET / 10:00 AM CT / 09:00 AM MT / 08:00 AM PT [Prevailing Time]
Presenter(s): Vivian Blade, Founder, President & CEO of Experts in Growth Leadership Consulting LLC (EiGL Consulting)
Objective: In this seminar, you will learn how to:

• Use the principles of Change Leadership to get the “buy-in” and support you need
• Leverage the principles in the “Pre-Workshop / Study Activities” to strengthen Senior Management project support and leadership
Program Level: Intermediate

No advanced preparation or prerequisites are required for this course.

Course Description
Is Value Engineering recognized and respected as a core competency in your organization? Is Value Engineering a “valued” practice? Do you get willing multi-disciplinary engagement and support for your projects?

Are there other CVSs or do you feel like the “Lone Ranger”? Is your Value Engineering certification recognized and rewarded as a critical skill that helps advance your career? Is your SAVE International membership supported and paid for? Do your leaders even know what Value Engineering is? Do clients understand and appreciate the benefits of using Value Engineering?

Getting buy-in and support for Value Engineering can be frustrating and arduous if most of your answers to these questions were “No”. But, you know the “value” of Value Engineering and know that your organization or clients could benefit from its principles. The role of Senior Management is critical. You see how organizations that “get it” greatly benefit from applying Value Engineering. You need to sell the advantages.

How can you change the game? How can you generate corporate or client buy-in to support membership, certification, and, especially, the recognition and use of Value Engineering?

Vivian's seminar will also cover:

• The two most important things leaders care about (and how to use these to your advantage)
• The four things you can do to make senior leaders’ responsibilities easier for them, thereby increasing your chances for success.
