Dear IMC,
Special IMC Session
Consultants Meet Consultants and Clients (CmCC)
Facilitated by Jerry Savin, FIMC, CMC
Do you ever wish that you had a systematic collaborative approach to networking, with which you could develop a network of relationships rather than a collection of business cards and vague acquaintances?
Would you like to meet the consultants that work in your industry and/or can refer you to their clients?
IMC presents Consultants meet Consultants and Clients, a special program designed to help you make the contacts you need to form synergies, alliances and get new clients! The CmCC format has proven so successful at international consulting meetings that Jerry Savin, FIMC, CMC, wanted to bring it to IMC SoCal.
Here is what some of last years participants had to say about the CMCC event;
- "An innovative and fresh approach to the subject of 'getting to know you'. Every consultant wants to understand practice areas of others in order to identify possible synergies which could expand the notion of trusted advisor in the mind of the client. A must attend for any consultant serious about their profession."
-- Don McNamara, CMC
- "The CmCC indeed "wet my appetite" for more. The intimacy of talking one-on-one with a specific purpose and in a formal and uninterrupted vehicle adds so much more value to IMC membership. Because of CmCC I was able to secure 2 new projects and clients that will amount to 25% of my 2007 annual income."
-- Becky Collins, MBA
- "High-value structured and disciplined in- depth networking for CMCs"
-- Curt Deckert, CMC
- "Best value IMC event this side of Confab!"
-- Peter Crosby, CMC
Our program begins at 4:30 PM with an introduction and explanation of the CmCC process. During the evening, you will be paired with as many as four consultants with whom you have synergies in industries served, services provided and/or clients. Our facilitator, Jerry Savin, will match you with other consultants based on the profile that you submit to him prior to the event, using the PDF form below. In each 30 minute meeting with another consultant, you will have an opportunity to share information and discuss how you might work together, refer clients or other opportunities to each other. The program includes up to four pairings with custom-matched consultants, general networking time, dinner and a debriefing session.
IMPORTANT: By November 3rd, download the form (doc), fill it out and email back to Jerry Savin at jsavin@ctcg.com. Registration after the November 3rd deadline might result in less than optimal pairings No registration at the door for this event.

President's Message |

Get Your CmCC Forms to Jerry Right Now!!
I'm trying to figure out the best ways to focus my practice to work collaboratively with other consultants, and need to meet you at a CmCC to work out the best interface (yes, "interface" is a dead giveaway of an IT consultant). I also need to know where to hand off the projects I can't do anything with. So please make sure you meet the November 3rd deadline! As an individual, I rely on you to make sure that I can provide full service to my clients.
You shouldn't have postponed your preparations until after Confab. Now you're busy digesting all the information and new business contacts that Confab provides - but that will just have to wait so that you won't miss this important opportunity.
Also, make sure you didn't schedule something else for November 13 - we're meeting early this month so that Thanksgiving won't suffer by comparison to our delicious dinners at the Ayres Hotel.
See you at CmCC!
Best wishes,
Margaret Chock CMC, President

LAX IMC BREAKFAST MEETING November 2, 2007: Julie Orlov Presents: Facilitation Skills for Consultants that Lasts!
This presentation will introduce Management Consultants with facilitation skills that enrich the learning process. By personally participating in a demo training session, you will learn how to identify and track group dynamics, including ways in which participants perceive information, integrate new knowledge, engage with others, communicate, manage differences and conflict, and apply course material to their specific job functions. You will leave with new and improved methods to feed back data and observations, encourage open discussions, and promote deeper levels of learning. By doing so participants are more apt to retain, practice and implement acquired skills in their organizations. Come and enhance your facilitation skills in this highly interactive and fun demonstration.
