Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

A personal brand exploration presentation summarizes an individual's unique qualities and goals, covering strengths, values, passions, and target audience. It helps individuals understand what makes them stand out, their desired image, and how they aim to achieve it.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

VENTURE-BACKED IPOs INCH FORWARD IN Q2 2006; ACQUISITIONS REMAIN STABLE
Industry Association Still Wary About Health of US Public Markets
New York, NY- July 5, 2006 – Nineteen venture-backed companies raised $2.0 billion through initial
public offerings (IPOs) on US exchanges in the second quarter of 2006, according to the Exit Poll report by
Thomson Financial and the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA). This volume represents a 90
percent increase from the first quarter of 2006 when ten venture-backed companies went public. It is also
near double the volume from a year ago when ten companies went public during the same period. In
addition, there were 86 venture-backed acquisitions with a disclosed value of $3.2 billion reported in the
second quarter.

“The growth in IPO volume is encouraging, but we certainly are not out of the woods yet,” said Mark
Heesen, president of the NVCA. “We will need to see these levels continue to increase throughout the rest
of the year to characterize the US public markets as available to venture-backed companies. These
companies now have a multitude of exit and liquidity options – acquisitions, foreign exchanges, and buyout
2. rounds. A US IPO is still not a viable option for many of these emerging enterprises. We not only need to
see more companies going public, but more companies going public successfully if we expect others to
follow suit.”
IPO Activity Overview
The technology sector had eight companies raise a total of $1.4 billion in the second quarter. The largest
IPO of the second quarter was the $531 million offering from Vonage Holdings Corporation. The New
Jersey-based provider of digital telephone service via the Internet priced 31.3 million shares at $17, the
largest public offering of a venture-backed company since October 2004. Vonage was backed by New
Enterprise Associates, Bain Capital, 3i, Meritech Capital Partners, and Institutional Venture Partners.
The Life Sciences sector led the IPO activity by pricing nine venture-backed IPOs raising a total of $452.2
million in the second quarter. The largest IPO in the Life Sciences sector was the $106.5 million offering
from Northstar Neurosciences, Inc., a Seattle, Washington-based medical device company backed by
Mayfield Fund, Domain Associates, Canaan Partners, and AEA Investors.
Along with the large jump in IPO volume, the venture-backed companies that went public during the
second quarter were also the beneficiaries of increased offering sizes and post-offering values, both at their
highest levels since the fourth quarter of 2004. For the rolling 12 month period ending June 30, 2006, 52%
of the companies that went public are currently trading above their offering price.
In addition to the IPOs completed this quarter, there are currently 41 venture-backed companies “in
registration” with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These companies have filed with
the SEC in 2005 or 2006 and are now preparing for their initial public offerings. This compares favorably
to the 24 companies in registration at the end of the first quarter of 2006.
In addition to the 19 venture-backed companies that went public on US exchanges, three companies backed
by US venture capitalists successfully went public on foreign exchanges, two on the London AIM and one
on the London Stock Exchange.
