Our speaker will be Tamer Ali, Founder and CEO of Digital Ignite (www.digitalignite.com). Digital Ignite is the home of CrowdWisdom, a next generation social learning platform that supports adult professional education. From Tamer:

3 issues we are dealing with:

1. where do we go now? we realize we have a good stake serving professional education (associations who represent professions like American College of Radiology, American Marketing Associations)

but we recognize that this may be a slower growth. Do we dive deeper into this niche or do we diversify to other niches?

2. should we entertain non-organic ways to grow. We've turned down offers to be acquired, but we sense that our focus on R&D will be a challenge on resources if we just fund our own growth

3. how can we move to a more strategic role with our clients- away from just software, but realizing what valuable position they hold in professional education

And About Digital Ignite:

here's a quick write up on us
We partner with professional education, publishers, and multi-national organizations to design, build, and manage their critical learning programs. Our advanced social learning platform - called Crowd Wisdom - provides lifecycle career management for the learner (often times a professional in a particular industry field)- from pre-credential prep to specialization beyond the foundation.
The platform offers LMS capabilities, but much more, including personalized recommendations, a knowledge community of peers, advanced testing, and wiki/knowledge base. Leading associations are now deploying their major programs through Crowd Wisdom.
Crowd Wisdom™ powers leading global education programs with features to help learners search, find, and share knowledge easily, while the platform offers the scalability and performance of Software-as-a-Service (cloud) and integrates seamlessly with CRM (membership databases or other systems), CMS, and other applications.
Leading organizations are finding Crowd Wisdom™ the solution to deliver engaged learning experiences and managing all their education content- from live events and webinars to elearning and multimedia. The platform is unrivaled in its flexibility, branding, scalability, extensibility, and ability to deliver personalized learning experiences.
