Learn to be a quick study.
(From Israel Business Arena)
Byline: Michael Neuvirth
If you want your startup to succeed you must be - or learn to be - a quick study. Everything moves so fast and you must be able to keep up both business wise and technology wise. You do not have to be a leading expert on every topic you will come across, but you must be able to catch on fast and have a very good grasp of the basic fundamentals.
Today's Enable will show you how to do so. We cover a site that is quickly becoming one of my very favorites. The site is called QuickStudy and it's hidden away within the Computerworld site.
The most important aspect of the site is that it provides you with two types of quick studies - Business and Technology. This means that techies can bone up on business issues and stay in the management, capital raising and cash flow loop. Business types can learn about the technology in order to better understand R&D efforts, product development, competitive advantages and more..
The site has three main parts - Technology QuickStudy, Business QuickStudy and a QuickStudy Dictionary. Each of these is highlighted below:
