New Meeting Format for October 15, 2012 Event at the Princeton Club a Great Success!

The Institute of Management Consultants New Jersey Chapter (IMC NJ) held a successful event, conceived and moderated by Bill Dorman, with assistance from Joe Kowalski and Loraine Kasprzak. It was a hot and cold buffet breakfast, followed by four Roundtables, running in parallel, with four different themes and four different Knowledge Leaders. After more than an hour of discussion at each table, volunteers gave a summary of each table's highlights for the remaining attendees.

The four Roundtable leaders and their subjects were:

Kathleen Kinka, President of Aurora Management Consultancy Group – Growth Strategies, who led the discussion on "Consulting Opportunities with Young Companies”

Mike Martorella, Founder and CEO of MMI Communication – Executive Coaching, whose topic was " New Challenges to Executive Leadership”

Tim Powell, President of The Knowledge Agency® - Competitive Intelligence, whose session was entitled " New Tools for Market Intelligence”

Jim Seber, CMC, President & CEO, Seber Logistics Consulting, Inc.- Supply Chain and Operations , " Delivery of Products in the 21^st Century”.

This event was the first breakfast meeting held by IMC-NJ this year, it was the first meeting held in Princeton, and of course, it was an unusual format. We would very much like to hear from all of our members as to their preferences in venue, in the time of day, and the format.

We hope to see many of you at our November 12^th and December 10^th meetings, both being held at the Sheraton Edison at Raritan Center as evening meetings including a light dinner and beverages. We hope to make the December meeting a festive event, concentrating on networking, on getting to know one another better, and being entertained by motivational speaker Avish Parashar.

Let us know your ideas on time, date, venue and meeting format as we plan the 2013 program. Please email me, Joe Porcelli, at jvpii@jvporcelli.com.
