The Confident Business: Peer-to-Peer Networking

The Confident Business: Peer-to-Peer Networking

Ideas can look great on paper but sometimes you need to try out or troubleshoot them with like-minded adventurers. When you are growing and adapting your business, learning from people who are experiencing similar challenges can make all the difference.

At this facilitated session, within your small groups, you’ll share plans and have a chance to give and receive feedback. It’s a brilliant opportunity to get help and at the same time to meet and connect with other businesses and form your own peer network.

This session is led by Meg Fenn, who will guide the group discussion with useful questions and prompts. You’ll be using elements of the Business Model Canvas to build your skills and knowledge and help you to review your business and make good decisions.

At this session you will:

• Meet new people and build a valuable new network
• Trouble shoot blockers and test out new ideas
• Gain a useful set of tools in the Business Model Canvas to use in your business
• Visit the BIPC and find out about the free support they offer including access to business databases and reports
• Find out about further business support that’s available to you and your business.

The session is 11 am-12:30 pm and takes place at the BIPC in Jubilee Library.
