Trade barriers are going up across the globe. And cybercrime is on the increase. The link between the two? The value of trade secrets. As countries become increasingly protectionist as regards international trade, so their IP law has been changing, with the result that companies that previously would have sought protection through patents are opting to go down the trade secret route instead. But is this a high-risk strategy? Technology is changing and this is having an impact on forms of commercial co-operation. Collaborative or open forms of innovation by their very nature involve the sharing of intellectual property (IP), and in many instances this IP is in the form of valuable confidential business information (ie, trade secrets). Little surprise, then, that trade secrets disputes have increased accordingly. At the same time, the changes in technology make trade secrets more vulnerable to attack, misappropriation, theft. So just how effective are the legal protections for trade secrets? How can organisations safeguard the value in their IP (increasingly, the single biggest line in their balance sheets)? This programme is designed to help you address these issues. Note: this is an indicative agenda, to be used as a starting point for a conversation between client and consultant, depending on the organisation's specific situation and requirements. This session is designed to give you a deeper understanding of: * Emerging trends in trade secrets protection and exploitation * The current situation in key jurisdictions * Recent case law * How leading companies are responding * The importance of trade secret metadata * Different external stakeholders and their interests * Key steps for effective protection of trade secrets Note: this is an indicative agenda, to be used as a starting point for a conversation between client and consultant, depending on the organisation's specific situation and requirements. 1 WHAT ARE TRADE SECRETS? * Definitions * Examples * Comparison with other forms of IP (patents, confidential information, know-how, copyright) 2 CURRENT TRENDS * The various changes taking place affecting trade secrets - legal changes, trade wars, cybercrime, technology, commercial practice * The current position in the UK, Europe, USA, China, Japan, Russia * Corporate best practice 3 TRADE SECRET DISPUTES - HOW TO AVOID THEM * Trade secret policies, processes and systems * Administrative, legal and technical protection mechanisms * The role of employees * The sharing of trade secrets with others 4 TRADE SECRET DISPUTES - HOW TO MANAGE THEM * Causes * Anatomy of a trade secret court case * 'Reasonable particularity' 5 RELATED ISSUES * Insurance * Tax authorities and investigations * Investor relations 6 TRADE SECRET ASSET MANAGEMENT ROADMAP * Maturity ladder * First steps * Pilot projects

This is not a single course but a set of menu options from which you can 'pick and mix' to create a draft programme yourself, as a discussion document which we can then fine-tune with you. For a day's training course, simply consider your objectives, select six hours' worth of modules and let us do the fine-tuning so that you get the best possible training result. Consider your objectives carefully for maximum benefit from the course. Is the training for new or experienced credit control staff? Are there specific issues to be addressed within your particular sector (eg, housing, education, utilities, etc)? Do your staff need to know more about the legal issues? Or would a practical demonstration of effective telephone tactics be more useful to them? MENU Rather than a generic course outline, the expert trainer has prepared a training 'menu' from which you can select those topics of most relevance to your organisation. We can then work with you to tailor a programme that will meet your specific objectives. * Advanced credit control skills for supervisors - 1⁄2 day * Basic legal overview: do's and don'ts of debt recovery - 2 hours * Body language in the credit and debt sphere - 1⁄2 day * County Court suing and enforcement - 1⁄2 day * Credit checking and assessment - 1 hour * Customer visits and 'face to face' debt recovery skills - 1⁄2 day * Data Protection Act explained - 1⁄2 day * Dealing with 'Caring Agencies' and third parties - 1 hour * Debt counselling skills - 2 hours * Elementary credit control skills for new staff - 1⁄2 day * Granting credit and collecting debt in Europe - 1⁄2 day * Identifying debtors by 'type' to handle them accurately - 1 hour * Insolvency: Understanding bankruptcy / receivership / administration / winding-up / liquidation / CVAs and IVAs - 2 hours * Late Payment of Commercial Debts Interest Act explained - 2 hours * Liaison with sales and other departments for maximum credit effectiveness - 1 hour * Suing in Scottish Courts (Small Claims and Summary Cause) - 1⁄2 day * Telephone techniques for successful debt collection - 11⁄2 hours * Terms and conditions of business with regard to credit and debt - 2 hours * Tracing 'gone away' debtors (both corporate and individual) - 11⁄2 hours * What to do if you/your organisation are sued - 1⁄2 day Other topics you might wish to consider could include: * Assessment of new customers as debtor risks * Attachment of Earnings Orders * Bailiffs and how to make them work for you * Benefit overpayments and how to recover them * Cash flow problems (business) * Charging Orders over property/assets * Credit policy: how to write one * Council and Local Authority debt recovery * Consumer Credit Act debt issues * Using debt collection agencies * Director's or personal guarantees * Domestic debt collection by telephone * Exports (world-wide) and payment for * Emergency debt recovery measures * Education Sector debt recovery * Forms used in credit control * Factoring of sales invoices * Finance Sector debt recovery needs * Third Party Debt Orders (Enforcement) * Government departments (collection from) * Harassment (what it is - and what it is not) * Health sector debt recovery skills * Hardship (members of the public) * Insolvency and the Insolvency Act * In-house collection agency (how to set up) * Instalments: getting offers which are kept * Judgment (explanation of types) * Keeping customers while collecting the debt * Late payment penalties and sanctions * Letter writing for debt recovery * Major companies as debtors * Members of the public as debtors * Monitoring of major debtors and risks * Negotiation skills for debt recovery * Old debts and how to collect them * Out of hours telephone calls and visits * Office of Fair Trading and collections * Oral Examination (Enforcement) * Pro-active telephone collection * Parents of young debtors * Partnerships as debtors * Positive language in debt recovery * Pre-litigation checking skills * Power listening skills * Questions to solicit information * Retention of title and 'Romalpa' clauses * Sale of Goods Act explained * Salesmen and debt recovery * Sheriffs to enforce your judgment * Students as debtors * Statutory demands for payment * Small companies (collection from) * Sundry debts (collection of) * Terms and Conditions of Contract * Tracing 'gone away' debtors * The telephone bureau and credit control * Taking away reasons not to pay * Train the trainer skills * Utility collection needs * Visits for collection and recovery * Warrant of execution (enforcement)

Our telephone training takes place in your normal working situation, using the actual telephones and software, and the programming software clients that trainees will use when fully trained. Our trainers will travel anywhere in the world to train you face to face, or if you prefer, we can offer our whole training catalogue remotely using Teams or Zoom. On-site and live remote telecoms training sessions have a general reputation as most effective for trainees to continue to efficiently carry out their telecoms usage, programming and own in-house training of future new employees. On-site training involves employees training at their place of work while they are doing their actual job, or in pre-organised classroom training sessions, based around hands-on interaction, trainer Q&A and all carried out using your own site telephone system.     Our telephone trainers also offer consultations on your new or current telephone systems: looking into how you currently use your system, making suggestions on how programming could be tweaked and changed to improve your current usage, how to improve on call handling methods, and informing you of additional products which may be available on your system that you may not be aware of. This could help improve the level of communication across your company and interactions with your customers. We believe telephone handset and voicemail training sessions are essential to the smooth and efficient running of your company, making sure your staff are aware of all the features and benefits that the telephone handsets can offer, and ensuring calls are dealt with quickly and effectively.      System administration training is available to teach new administrators how to manage and control a variety of system features. This type of training is especially important when new administrators have little or no previous telecom knowledge or experience, but it is equally important at all levels to ensure the new system is utilised to its maximum capability. Administration days or Call Centre Software training days take one full day to complete. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FULL DAY EXAMPLE:  9:30 - 16:00 Day Structure  09:30 - 10:45  Handset & VM session for up to 8 people 10:45 - 12:00   Handset & VM session for up to 8 people 12:00 - 12:45  Lunch  12:45 - 14:00  Handset & VM session for up to 8 people 14:00 - 15:15   Handset & VM session for up to 8 people 15:15 - 16:30   Handset & VM session for up to 8 people -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HALF DAY EXAMPLE:  9:30 - 13:00 Switchboard training takes half a day (3-4 hours for up to 3 people).
