BBC Friday 19 October 2012 – Bill Ruddick Presents “Business Value Check-Up & Business Reality Check”

Bill Ruddick will give an update of his “Business Reality Check” including slides and a discussion roundtable.

This presentation is based not only on Bill’s classic “Ruddick Consulting” business plan development, but also reflects Bill’s latest work for Accelerate Kitsap’s “business growth mentoring” program (acceleratekitsap.org).

Invite your friends and associates to join us for this exciting event … and another delicious cup of BBC!

Cafe Networking Model: For the opening 1/2 hour (7:30-8:00) before the formal meeting begins we’ll set up individual “cafe” tables allowing for informal small roundtable visiting, networking, open topic discussions. So, try to get to BBC this Friday around 7:30 to give the “cafe” idea a try!

7:30-8:00 coffee/tea, visiting, informal networking
8:00-8:45 Bill Ruddick Presents!
