“Unsettling Fragmentation Radical Changes in Business, Technology and the Workplace” –

Bill Forti

Speaker:  Bill Forti

The structure of business and the workplace has radically changed, causing fragmentation, which requires new ways of thinking. Utilizing the actual experience of the William Mark Corporation as an example, this talk will address the great contrast of doing business at the turn of the century and today – from product development to manufacturing, to marketing, to business structure and criteria for success. The William Mark Corporation is a family owned and operated toy company started in Claremont in 1993 by Bill and his son Mark. It has invented and marketed over 25 products and achieved worldwide distribution.
