Communities of Practice & Client Engagement

I will be delivering a free teleconference next Wed, Oct. 28 (noon
est), for entrepreneurs, independent contractors, and all manner of
free agents. The title of the conference is "Engaging Clients in a
Tough Economy." In the teleseminar I will be sharing three techniques
I used to successfully create client engagements over the last 10
months. The third technique is called "Creating Face-to-face events:
Assembling and Energizing Your Most Valuable Clients in a Community of
Practice."

I will describe in some detail how i have built a CoP of CEOs here in
Washington DC over the last 10 months around the issue of surviving a
difficult business environment, even as the economy tanked, My purpose
was many, but included sustaining my own business as a consultant -
hence, the free teleconference. Of course, there have been many
additional benefits, not the least of which has been creating a
knowledge pool for CEOs facing a complex set of challenges, surfacing
and sharing solutions.

You can read about my upcoming teleseminar here:

. And, of course, you can join in to hear what I have to say about
using a CoP for business development. Just send me an email and I'll
send you the login information.

all the best,
Seth

Alice, your anecdote raises the dynamic of disruption which can renew and refocus. A flood of new members, or a mass departure, a new technology, an event. So...
