Creating a Future Together 5 year birthday wbii

 

We have just celebrated the 5 year anniversary of the WBII and now we look ahead and ask each of you, "What could the next 5 years look like?" 

 

On Thursday, 14 April  the networking event will be a special brainstorming session at the the WBII office. We are looking to make a radical change to ensure the longevity of the WBII. Nothing is off limits!

 

Our very own Creative Facilitator Extraordinaire, Helen Kuyper , will guide us through some creative techniques to help us get there. Member participation is vital to determine how the WBII could most effectively benefit you and the success of your business. Input from external partners is also welcome.

 

It will be a fun friendly and stimulating evening while networking and working side by side with a purpose. You are sure to find these creative techniques useful when you get stuck in your own business planning too!

Have you been giving some thought to how to future proof your own business?  

Success,

Suzy

GMW Advocaten - Christine Offers

In theory, we all know that an unsecured wireless connection could be used by unauthorised persons, but do we really care? Well, we should - as some of those people might use our unsecured WIFI connection to commit a criminal act.
