The Ben Franklin Honor Society, part of PRINTING United Alliance, the most comprehensive member-based printing and graphic arts association in North America; today announces the free online availability of its renowned Ben Franklin Honor Society Book of Wisdom series, consisting of four publications starting with the flagship edition, a 248-page edition that includes 47 essays about strategies for business improvement and success in a rapidly changing and dynamic graphic communication industry. Three supplements, including an additional 22 essays, are also available.

The Ben Franklin Honor Society Book of Wisdom success stories are authored by some of the most successful and accomplished men and women that defined the growth and direction of today’s graphic communication industry. All are distinguished inductees into the Alliance’s Ben Franklin Honor Society.

In the series, successful industry leaders address what schools teaching graphic communication and corporate management trainers are wrestling with, including how to prepare students to enter the field and to train managers to run companies efficiently, profitably, while addressing employee professional development.

These stories come at a time when industry employment is close to full capacity and employees have options. Questions that are being asked are: What management practices help grow successful companies and attract and retain employees, and what advice do successful leaders have about strategies for effective graphic communication management? These stories are all anecdotal personal success stories.

Printed versions can be purchased from the Alliance’s iLEARNING+ bookstore at: https://www.ilearningplus.org/catalog?query=BOOK%20OF%20WISDOM
