In September's issue, we're focusing on the signs of economic recovery and what that means for organizations and job seekers. We also highlight the importance of mobile content and learning emerging in the workplace.
Additionally, Lasselle-Ramsay has many announcements this month, including speaking engagements, the release of our online CIA tool, and an increase in blogging activities.

CIA Launches in September
Over the past several months, Lasselle-Ramsay has been developing a Content Infrastructure Assessment (CIA) tool. The assessment is based on the principles of the Capability Maturity Model®, and focuses on 5 key areas (Customer, Content, Process, Technology, and Team) and asks questions in each area. Our first product offering will be a tool users will complete online and will give them a snapshot of their organization's capability. After completing the survey questions, we will send users their score, a description of each key area, and an offer for a free consultation.
Last week, we launched the CIA tool, which you can access on our homepage at LR.com.
