2010: Survival or growth?

London | Bristol | Leeds | Manchester | Edinburgh | Newcastle

From 23 February to 16 March and pay what you can for your ticket.

An interactive event to help your business grow even stronger in 2010.

This event will help you address the key issues and questions you face heading up a business, and will give you clear, practical solutions to help ensure your design agency not only survives, but also thrives.

Business adviser and independent trouble shooter, Kevin Duncan will take you through the skills and principles you can adopt to help harness and develop more positive outcomes for your design business - whether you're a sole trader or have a team of up to 200.  He will highlight those timeless qualities that make the best businesses hardy perennials and will give you lots of practical and thought provoking techniques to put these qualities into action.

What you'll learn

You will learn the skills that will help you to analyse your current business position properly, how to make the important decisions around survival or growth, how to define and state your personality and style and finally, how to get it all done.

This is a seminar that will get things fixed, not a boring lecture. It offers a fresh perspective on evolving your business and will look at:

How to ask yourself the nasty questions that you don't want to answer

Do you often long to just get on with things but find yourself frustrated by blockages within the business?   Learn how to ask the tough questions to help you ensure things flow more smoothly.

Get organised

Efficiency is a sophisticated form of laziness. Remember that thinking is free so do it more often.   Free yourself up so that you have some time to recognise and implement the next big thing for your business.

Rip up the straitjackets that you have unintentionally built for yourself

Remember what the original idea was and setup the tripwires and procedures you need to get things done.

So if you don't necessarily believe relentless growth is always the answer, or you just like the idea of a more reflective, non-macho approach to developing business, then this event is for you.

What it costs:

Pay what you can. The DBA would typically charge £25 per place for this type of event. However, all we are asking you to do is ‘pay what you can' to attend. Simply tell us on the booking form how much you would like to contribute towards the event and we will do the rest.

Your ticket to the event includes a free copy of Kevin's new book 'Small Business Survival' (RRP £10) as well as networking drinks at the event.

Places are strictly first come, first served, so please book early to avoid disappointment.
