Riders On The Storm - Guiding Leaders Through Turbulent Times
Wednesday May 13th, 2009
Newcastle Business School, Northumbria University is to open its doors to local professional service firms via a free morning event aimed to help guide senior level practitioners through the current turbulent economic climate.
As part of Newcastle Business School’s on-going engagement with local business, the school is hosting ‘Riders on the Storm’ – an event that aims to join a number of different professional service firms and provide practical information and a forum for discussion to help encourage shared knowledge and best practice. The event will also provide information and helpful ideas by drawing on research and in-house expertise from Newcastle Business School to help assist firms when dealing with common issues experienced in all professions.
The morning event will be held at Northumbria University’s award winning City Campus East on 15th June 2009. The event will cover topics such as ‘the North-East business climate –trends and intelligence’ and ‘Keeping your Clients – research and ideas on how client relationship management can help survive difficult times and emerge stronger’.
Sessions during the event will be delivered by the Dean Professor Paul Croney, Professor Jackie Harvey, Professor Richard Slack and Peter Graham.
Peter Graham, Senior Lecturer and organiser of the event said: “Professional service firms are often excellent in their professional knowledge but lack other commercial organisational skills that any sizeable business needs. Newcastle Business School has expertise in assisting such firms to manage their business and clients effectively. We hope that as a result of this event all delegates will benefit from the advice and knowledge shared.”
‘Riders on the Storm’ is a free event for senior level practitioners. Firms wanting to register to attend should click here or call 0191 243 7507.
