About the short assessment

There is a short assessment that goes with this workshop. It is simply a way for us to learn how you already use technology in your business so we can shape the session around the room.

The assessment is not set up yet. Once it is ready, the link will be sent to you after your payment goes through. Nothing is required from you before then.

It is not a test, and there is no score or grade attached to it.
