Francis Wade, President of Framework Consulting, has been selected to be a presenter at the upcoming Jamaica Employers Federation Conference on May 3-6, 2007 in Ocho Rios.
He will be speaking on the topic of: “Building Bridges across the region: Networking Strategies and Techniques for the New Breed of Caribbean Managers.”
We are pleased to announce that the white paper entitled: “The Trinidadian Executive in Jamaica” has been completed and is available by email at no cost by following the instructions below.
The study focused providing lessons learned for Trinidadian Executives moving to work in Jamaica. After over 30 interviews, the key cultural differences they found were pulled together and a set of recommendations made for companies in both countries.
Francis Wade recently completed a presentation to the 2006 Human Resource Managers Association of Jamaica (HRMAJ) Conference entitled “Technology and Effortless Regional Networking.”

Under the bios for Scott Hilton-Clarke and Francis Wade, we have added two short clips from a training session that we conducted over a year ago.
It took a while to figure out how to do it all, including which software to use etc., and the clips are approximately 90 seconds each. They cover the personal introductions that we gave at the particular session.
On October 10th, I will be giving a speech to the Project Management Institute, here in Kingston. The topic will be CSME Networking for the Project Management Professional.
Location: Jamaica Pegasus
Time: 6:00pm
The notes for the presentation will be include in my blog ahead of the date.
The flyer for the event can be found under the News menu item at top.
Francis Wade, President of Framework Consulting, will be speaking at the upcoming HRMAJ conference on November 16-19 at the Sunset Jamaica Grande Resort and Spa, Ocho Rios, Jamaica, on the topic: Using Technology on the Cutting Edge to Create Cross-Regional Networks.
In this blog entry, I talk about the need for a Trinidadian Jamaican Chamber of Commerce, with one located in Port of Spain and the other in Kingston.
Today happens to be Trinidadian Independence Day, so the timing for this idea seems to be just about right.
