Team Building & Effectiveness is most often a precursor to a focused team based effort to address specific business areas\, or an integral part of a more comprehensive business improvement strategy. During the class\, basic team concepts are covered including\, but not limited to stages of team development\, roles and responsibilities\, ground rules for acceptable team behavior and team decision making processes.\nTeams have become a principal building block of the strategy of successful organizations. Whether the focus is on service\, quality\, cost\, value\, speed\, efficiency\, performance\, or other similar goals\, teams are the central methodology of most organizations in the private\, non-profit\, and government sectors.\nIn most teams\, the energies of individual members work at cross purposes. Individuals may work extraordinarily hard\, but their efforts do not translate into team effort\, and this results in wasted energy. By contrast\, when a team becomes more aligned\, a commonality of direction emerges\, and individual energies harmonize. You have a shared vision and an understanding of how to complement each others’ efforts.

There are countless challenges\, and one big issue is having a lack of cash on hand. We will be discussing strategies to help New Jersey manufacturers secure more capital in a time where nearly everyone is struggling to keep their doors open and see R&D Tax Credits as a valuable option. Manufacturers are surprised to find out how many of their day-to-day activities can be considered R&D. We will discuss the EPAct 179D Tax Deductions for energy efficiency projects. Also covered during this webinar will be Cost Segregation for new construction and renovations. \nSign up for our webinar and find out what kind of capital you might expect to secure or learn how simple securing your Tax Credits can be with the right team behind you.

DESCRIPTION:DoD Cybersecurity – Are You Meeting Current CMMC Requirements? \nJoin NJMEP for a brief webinar to discuss the current CMMC changes.\nLearn how these changes impact you and what you need to get DoD contracts\, including:\n• The notable changes to CMMC 2.0 and why they matter.\n• Your current DFARS Requirements\n• How DIB contractors can prepare for these upcoming changes.\n• Future planning to get\, and remain\, in compliance. \nEvery manufacturer in the Defense Industrial Base must be compliant with CMMC Version 2.0 Update within the next few months. The time is now to prepare for stricter data protection regulations that will be required in your contracts. This cyber security program not only is required for DoD business you will have an enhanced environment to gain the trust of customers and increase your revenue.\nThe CMMC 2.0 is the most recent version of the DoD’s Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). Built on a foundation of NIST SP 800-171\, the CMMC 2.0 establishes three certification levels that reflect the maturity and reliability of a company’s cybersecurity infrastructure to safeguard sensitive government information on the contractors’ systems. Under CMMC\, a contractor must be certified to be eligible to bid on\, win or participate on a contract.\nWithout a valid CMMC certification the prime and/or sub will be barred from the contract (May 2023 is the target date for contract inclusion). Unlike previous requirements to be NIST SP 800-171 compliant\, under CMMC the contractor can NOT self-certify.
