This BBC Friday we will reprise “Your Board Of Directors” business strategy roundtable, vis-a-vis the now famous Think Club Problem Solving Method w/ BBC Founding Regular and Master Thinkologist Bill Ruddick.
In this session we’ll utilize the Plan-B Thinking Hats analysis. Resources useful for getting into the BBC thinking mood (google doc pdf): Thinking Hats & Think Club Bibliography. Bill Ruddick’s original “Think Club” presentation from BBC Friday 15 February 2013 Think Club Presentation. Logic & analytic thinking from KaveDragen Ink: informal fallacies & formal deductive reasoning.
Initial Subject: BBC 2014-2015. Ideas, strategies, possibilities — sideways or otherwise — for BBC in the coming months. Any idea is a great idea. Er, well, why not? (As time permits, other topics/issues may be pitched to the table.)
Be there, be free, be businesswise. For, in a sense, as serial entrepreneurs, we’re all business wise!
Think about it.
