BBC Friday 9 October 2015 – Your Board Of Directors Business Strategy Roundtable “Think Club” Edition

Join us this Blustery Autumn BBC FRIDAY for a “Your Board Of Directors” Business Strategy Roundtable, Think Club edition.

ThinkClubBring a business problem, branding idea, new venture or start-up or product/service launch concept for evaluation, testing, critique, or support. BBC: We don’t exist, but we’re there for you.

Play/share/learn: it can also be a chance to hone your elevator speech, brand tag-line, or business description.

Haven’t had a problem lately, but you have a great problem-solving story to share – a solution that worked, a lesson learned, a snippet of business wisdom, a new app, product, business resource.

BBC Thinkologist Bill Ruddick will help us stay in a creative thinking frame of mind. Think Club Resources: Thinking Hats & Bibliography. Logic & analytic thinking from KaveDragen Ink: informal fallacies and formal deductive reasoning. Related resources: Atherton (2013) learningandteaching.info/teaching/concept_mind_maps.htm. Mikko Sääskilahti, University of Lapland, “Concept thinking” aabri.com/manuscripts/121179.pdf.

Be there, be free, be businesswise. For, in a sense, as serial entrepreneurs, we’re all business wise!

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!
