GTSC is executing our member collaboration network — an online resource for you to communicate with other members of GTSC, collaborate within your Business Development Exchanges, and have direct, real-time access to the latest information, opportunities, and colleagues.

Often, I’m presented with opportunities and I have no fast way of getting out to you except by sending an email to the entire membership.  This collaboration site allows me to post those opportunities or questions to all of you, and allows you to do the same.  Similar to a listserv, you will be able to post opportunities, teaming requests, staffing challenges, and questions to the group.  More valuable than a listserv, the collaboration site allows members to form work groups, opportunity groups, jointly edit and work on documents, whatever will help your business forward its goals by collaborating with others in GTSC.

We have sent invitations for GTSC members to join our collaboration site and set up a profile.  GTSC will be pushing more and more of our real-time communications through this tool.  As soon as you have a profile, we can invite you to your specialty group (GTSC BDEs, Lion’s Den, Innovation workgroup) and start communicating.

I know, I know.  Another thing.  But we have to do it, frankly, to be more efficient.  This tool cleans up your inbox, helps you focus on the opportunities we’re working on, and gives you all a platform to leverage the Coalition better.  The key of course is for you to start using it actively so that we work as a cohesive machine.

So….let’s get busy!!  Check your inbox (and your junk mail) for the invite from group site.  If you have not received an invite, please let me know and we’ll figure out the problem.

THANK YOU all for your patience while we implement this exciting new function — once up and running I assure you that it will become your “go to” spot for tracking and partnering.

As always, do not hesitate to reach out with any questions!!
