DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Every day we hear on the news that the country is going deeper into recession.  The financial markets have been in turmoil and consumer confidence has collapsed.  So is the recession an opportunity or a threat for consultants and in particularly members of the Institute of Business Consultants in the North East Region?  We are joined by Gill Hunt of Skillfair, who provide the tender opportunities network service to the IBC, and will explore survival strategies for consultants.  This lively and thought provoking event also includes growth strategies for consultants through collaboration, suggesting tools and models that are useful for you and your clients to rise above these stormy economic times. To collaborate with other consultants you need to know who they are and what they can offer.  So come along armed with plenty of business cards and your introductions prepared as we put some of the lessons into practice on the night.Bookings:	E-mail Jean Dodds at  jean_dodds@yahoo.com=0D==0D=0AFree (a cancellation charge of £10 will be chrged for non attendees or cancellations within 7 days o
