Between working as a corporate event planner for the Coca-Cola company and leading the production of an inner-city economic summit in L.A. headed by former Vice President Al Gore, Dickerson\u2019s passion and expertise in event planning continue to grow steadily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSeventeen years ago, I was doing lots of traveling and managing large scope projects\u2014everything from the Olympics that were held in LA (1984), to the World Cup (1994), and other national trade events,\u201d recalled Dickerson. \u201cThat\u2019s really where I fell in love with event planning and event production. I really enjoyed the work I was doing but I got that entrepreneurial itch and decided to take that leap of faith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That leap of faith came soon after successfully managing the scale and visibility of former Vice President Al Gore\u2019s economic summit. The experience motivated her to leave her corporate job, and in 2000, Dickerson founded The Baker Group, a nationally-recognized, full-service event production firm. The L.A.-based, woman and minority-owned firm is made up of a team of four full-time employees, and 10-12 additional consultants working with the firm on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-485020\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/18135_MSFT_BakerGroupMIB_embedded01_r1_v1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"500\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re a small company but we crank out big things,\u201d Dickerson adds.<\/p>\n<p>With years of corporate experience, the firm maintains very high standards despite their small size, cultivating a client list that is 20-30% Fortune 500 companies. Seventeen years into owning her own business, the firm\u2019s CEO has kept their values intact, making it a point to support, collaborate with, and patron other women and minority-owned businesses as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for a solution to support a mobile team <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In recent years, Dickerson realized that digital transformation was a necessary investment to maintain a competitive edge, improve the firm\u2019s business agility, and continue delivering high-quality services to their clients. The Baker Group\u2019s small team was frequently mobile, traveling between clients, event venues, or working on-site during the latter stages of the event production process. As a result, they needed a solution that would enhance the team\u2019s flexibility and mobility, enabling them to remain connected whether they were working on an airplane, from a coffee shop near a venue, or in a client\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re moving throughout the day. It\u2019s not the kind of firm where we\u2019re just sitting behind our desks like a typical nine-to-five job,\u201d Dickerson explained. \u201cSo, for us, the portability and the accessibility of the Surface Pro was critical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before their digital transformation, employees primarily used desktops or laptops. Although their laptops were certainly the more portable of the two options, the laptops were still difficult to travel with, uncomfortable to use on planes, and lacked the mobility and versatility to adapt to varying work settings. Thankfully, one of their clients suggested a cutting-edge, mobile solution to address their business agility needs: Microsoft Surface.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-485021\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/18135_MSFT_BakerGroupMIB_embedded02_r1_v1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Journey from technology beginner to Surface Pro advocate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dickerson was immediately interested in trying out a Surface device. The size, portability, and ability to convert from a laptop to a tablet made the solution an ideal fit for her business agility needs. After purchasing the device, Dickerson struggled to optimize the touch screen features and understand the device\u2019s tools. Her tight-knit technologically-savvy colleagues encouraged her to enroll in Microsoft\u2019s training classes to get to know the product better.<\/p>\n<p>Located in one of Microsoft\u2019s nearby brick-and-mortar locations, the training classes are designed to help attendees discover new insights and learn how to make the most of their solution\u2019s capabilities. According to Dickerson, the classes were small and welcomed a diverse group of users, from beginners to those well-versed in Microsoft products, allowing Dickerson to feel comfortable asking questions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe instructors were very friendly and were able to answer any of the questions we had,\u201d she explained. \u201cThey really opened my eyes in terms of all of the functions that the Surface device could do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-485023\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/18135_MSFT_BakerGroupMIB_embedded03_r1_v1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Although Dickerson was generally familiar with common programs like Microsoft Word and PowerPoint, Microsoft specialists helped her fully maximize capabilities she hadn\u2019t yet discovered. For example, by learning ways to enhance PowerPoint functions beyond presentations, Dickerson eliminated the need for hiring a graphic designer, and saved the firm money. In addition to those insights, Dickerson learned how to use the Sticky Notes tool to annotate documents and explored Skype\u2019s multiple communication features.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s when I really fell in love with the product because I became familiar with how to use it. And now I love it\u2014I use it for everything,\u201d Dickerson said.<\/p>\n<p>The training also provided follow-up support, allowing participants to contact Microsoft instructors even after the training ended. With such a comprehensive customer support experience, Dickerson says she absolutely recommends Microsoft training classes to new and seasoned users to ensure customers are taking full advantage of their products.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enhancing business agility with Surface Pro and Office 365 <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As Dickerson recognized the key benefits of her Surface device, she realized it would be the perfect solution for the rest of The Baker Group\u2019s team. She used a fun, incentivized strategy to drive adoption throughout her team, allowing members to transition to a Surface Pro device once they met their sales quotas. Soon, the entire staff was leveraging the devices, along with the most updated version of the same Office 365 tools to ensure compatibility amongst the team.<\/p>\n<p>The Surface devices offered a range of new opportunities to streamline the team\u2019s most essential processes and improve their agility. The device\u2019s camera feature allowed employees to easily take photos of the venues and record videos of event production in real time. Now, not only could they easily document the set-up and production process, they could also showcase the success of the final event. They could even upload everything straight to their social media accounts, delivering more engaging visual content to their digital audience. The camera also allowed the employees to photograph and email essential details like floral samples, color swatches, and venue features straight to the client\u2014all from one portable device.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-485024\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/BakerGroupMIB_embedded04_r2_v1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"500\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow we can show our clients how we transform a space,\u201d Dickerson said. \u201cWe can record throughout the day, from when we go in in the morning and it\u2019s a completely raw space all the way through the end of the night. And then we can upload it on social media to show people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With OneDrive, all the images and other documents are easily stored and organized in one, digitally accessible, centralized location. Using Office 365\u2019s cloud technology\u2014rather than relying on email threads and flash drives\u2014OneDrive ensures instant-update capabilities and access from any device, while improving collaboration between traveling employees and the firm\u2019s remote staff. The innovative solution also streamlines sales presentations and pitches, empowering the firm\u2019s staff to showcase their best work at a moment\u2019s notice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a small business owner, having quick access to files is critical,\u201d explained the firm\u2019s CEO. \u201cIf I\u2019m in a meeting with a client and they\u2019re looking for a specific file, I can go right into my Surface device or my phone, access OneDrive, find the file, and re-email it to the client\u2014versus telling them I\u2019ll make a note of their request and send it to them later in the day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Baker Group\u2019s transition to Surface devices also transformed their on-site registration process. The firm previously rented iPads to complete in-person registration, using 4-5 devices at an average rate of $100 per day for each event and conference. Instead, the team can now simply upload the registration software to their own Surface devices, allowing for a flexible, streamlined registration process while saving money. According to Dickerson, switching to Surface devices has already paid for itself.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-485022\" src=\"https:\/\/cm-edgetun.pages.dev\/en-us\/industry\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/18135_MSFT_BakerGroupMIB_embedded05_r1_v2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"760\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Using technology to expand the firm\u2019s future growth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From Dickerson\u2019s perspective, the key is to not be afraid to embrace the latest technology. Leveraging digital innovation can be hugely impactful for small businesses, allowing limited teams to transform efficiency and productivity and reach new milestones of success. With so many tools, training, and resources available to a wide range of users, Dickerson says the necessary support is easily available to empower any small business interested in exploring the opportunity and transforming their business\u2019 agility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid of change, and don\u2019t be afraid of learning new things. That was a real eye-opener for us,\u201d she said. \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid of embracing what the digital transformation can do for your business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the next few years, The Baker Group plans to embrace a more active social media and digital marketing strategy to increase their online presence. Surface and Office 365 both enhance the team\u2019s ability to stay flexible and connected, making the entire event production process more dynamic and engaging with seamless social media updates. Dickerson explains that her long-term goal for the firm is keep digitally transforming right alongside Microsoft\u2019s cutting-edge technology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom a visionary perspective, we want to transition all of our products with Microsoft. As they grow their devices and technology, our team wants to do the same,\u201d Dickerson said.<\/p>\n<p>By staying at the front end of innovation, The Baker Group can continue successfully managing massive conferences with the level of quality, service, and event planning support the firm consistently champions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Related Content<\/p>\n<p>Read more resources and tips for <a
