We're delighted to welcome two new BIPC Sussex Experts - Research Consultant Dr Jonathan Newman, who will be running a workshop on undertaking field market research - why it's important to talk to people to get insights into your market, product or service, who to speak to; where and when you do it; what you talk about; and how you conduct that conversation? If you can't make the workshop, why not book a 121 with him?
Our next new expert Victoria Ramsden, Management and Leadership Coach, will be running group coaching sessions, a time management workshop and also 121s.
So as the kids head back to school next month and entrepreneurs head back to the BIPC, we look forward to seeing you at our events!
