Federal Incentives That Can Show You the MoneyCBIZ, Inc.
Federal Incentives That Can Show You the Money
As the country continues to fight its way out of the economic downturn, businesses and their owners are constantly looking for ways to increase cash flow. Several Federal tax incentives are available to help you meet this goal. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to be in a high-tech industry to benefit from the Research and Experimentation Credit. Nor do you need to place in service an entire “green” building to benefit from the Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction or other energy incentives. Even if your business currently isn’t producing taxable income, you may still be able to use these incentives to recover taxes paid in prior years or shelter future taxable income.
This presentation discusses key elements of:
• Research and Development Tax Credits
• Domestic Production Activities Deduction
• Energy Efficient Building Deduction

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
