The audience is diverse: artistis, academic , business from sectors investing in sustainability, marketing and branding and quality, connected places.
We are looking at Guidelines to the Introduction Pyramid - ways of calling on relationships, not just people. Here are some examples: Think about introductions that can serve them and you - make it a gain-squared, and, Make your agendas and wants transparent.
Jack has given us new tools: fundamental to working together to accelerate innovation and entrepreneurship.
Our handouts are graphic maps illustrating The Introduction Pyramid and Guidelines and The 3 Circles, spheres of who we know and the resources they are connected to.
