IMC NCR CONSULTANT ROUNDTABLE (and book swap)

In the best traditions of IMC, instead of hearing from one speaker, we are committed to sharing our best intelligence on markets and practice management by our experienced members and guests. We will provide a facilitator at each table to assure that we cover topics fully, stay on topic, allow all participants to contribute, and capture key ideas to share with other tables.

The Consultant Roundtable is by and for the members of the IMC NCR consulting community. Attendance is open to all interested consultants including Certified Management Consultants, IMC USA Professional Members, and Guests. Our objectives are to:

• Promote peer-to-peer interaction
• Get to know your consulting colleagues better
• Let you test your ideas about your consulting markets or practice
• Learn from your peers about new business trends or opportunities

Topics: A list of suggested topics is below. However, each breakout group will select an independent topic. In general, the topics will address one of the following three areas:

• Expand your consulting skills and value to clients (Get Smart)
• Extend your visibility and market presence (Get Known)
• Improve your practice and engagement management (Get Business)

Additional Updates:

Before topic selection and breakout, Richard Ziegler, NCR Chapter President, will brief participants on two topics presented at the IMC Chapter Presidents Council meeting in Chicago on May 6^th and 7^th. These include:

1. The Future of Consulting by Tom Rodenhauser , Vice President, Kennedy Information, Editor, Kennedy’s Consultant News, and
2. Blue Ocean Strategy Session on Key Consulting Competencies Valued by Clients by Dr. Sarah Layton

Consultant Roundtables are one of the most popular programs offered by IMC Chapters because they are great learning and networking experiences. It is easy to see why consultants build or refine their practices for the year around what they learn and share at a Roundtable.
