| The
DBA brings its most recent Business Briefing, ‘ The
Lifecycle of a Design Consultancy' to Leeds on 13 November.
Mapping out your future and that of your business is
often the hardest thing to make time for. Yet it's probably
the single most important thing when it comes to running
a consultancy effectively.
Planning for
the future now could help you realize greater value
in your business when the time comes for change. This
event is for those keen to introduce sound business
practice no matter what age their agency. Building value
can take time but with a clear picture of what the future
could hold for you, a clear direction, renewed drive
and the focusing of your energy on the things that matter,
this briefing could make the world of difference.
This workshop
will be given by Ian Cochrane of Tice Group and will
