Join us this SUNNY BBC FRIDAY for an Open Mic Your Board Of Directors business problem solving strategy roundtable, Think Club Edition.
Bring a business problem, issue, question, idea, no matter how … curious! 
Maybe you haven’t had a problem lately, but you have a cool problem-solving story to share – a solution that worked, a lesson learned, a snippet of business wisdom.
Or maybe you’ve found the “perfect business app” for project development, or billing and invoicing, or managing autonomous killer robots in the workplace. Recently I was referred to “WorkFlowy” whose tagline is “Organize Your Brain” (workflowy.com) – which I still intend to look into. Has anyone tried Amazon’s “Echo” (amazon.com) yet? Or how about “google cast” (google.com/cast/)?
So, bring your brains – caffeinated and credulous – and be prepared to think serendipitously and strategize strategically on yours and your fellow BBCites businesses, lives and dilemmas, and those growingly ubiquitous “AI” machines. (Remember when “AI” stood for Analog Input?)
Be there, be free, be businesswise. For, in a sense, as serial entrepreneurs, we’re all business wise! And Remember, at BBC, while out of chaos may not come order, out of our chaos very often come great ideas and brilliant inspirations.
So invite your friends and associates to come join us for this exciting non-virtual non-cloud event in real time and real space…and another delicious cup of BBC!
