TDS NEWS will once
again provide a 36 page printed program.
This multi-tiered
program will be presented, in association with Boone, Inc., headed by our
friend, the very ambitious Darla Boone.
Darla will be ably assisted by her very capable entourage
This year has started with a bang. We believe that the way to great success is
through collaboration. We also believe
that a powerful way to get to know potential partners is through regular,
comfortable exchange sessions.
Everything
we do is based on starting small, thinking big and making things work better
through continuous improvement.
Each element also boasts a commitment to input from others
in a variety of ways. Our favorite is
hosting or co-hosting small events. We
even have a salon each Wednesday to go through our inventory of other small
events.
In each business unit, new and old, of our structure, the
basic concept or product is supported by a strong step-by-step process. The first item on the list is (1) a description,
then (2) a document, then (3) a starter event.
The event can be a meeting, social gathering, brainstorming,
seminar or even a formal salon. Usually,
the gathering is small, with 2 to 12 folks in attendance. If this blossoms into a series – or schedule
of events – considerations are given for management, venues, hospitality and
sometimes registration.
I am pleased to report that in my advance copy of Fast
Company Magazine the publisher presents February 2013 as The Creative
Conversations Issue of the monthly.
The cover lines include “How creative dialogue can reinvent
your company, brand and career”, “10 BUSINESS CONVERSATIONS THAT CHANGED THE
WORLD” and “Chatter That Matters From: Twitter, Absolut, Pixar, Facebook,
Adidas, Red Bull, Starbucks, Google, Square and Target.”
After a fascinating sit-down with the magazine, I can
heartily suggest that you might do the same.
Because we deliver seminars around the United States,
scheduling is very important. Soon there
will be an online presence dedicated to the master schedule.
I am
convinced that creating a solid base, scheduling the details, understanding
that continuous improvement is a great model for product development and that
collaboration amongst smart partners is the path to an enduring success.
Scheduling
There
will be weekly scheduling meetings to single-file the dates for ongoing
meetings, seminars, reviews and presentations.
Based on the elements now assembled, a calendar of events could be beneficial. We are now in print. Soon we will have a “Scheduling” partner, and
after that an “Automated Scheduling” structure.
Here are
a few travel events that will be included.
January Kihei, Maui County
February New York
February Palm Desert
February
Los Angeles
March Miami
April Chicago
June Washington, D.C.
July New York
A Special Note: I will be out of the office for most of Week
3. Our events and meetings schedule will
resume Wednesday, January 23, 2013. Of
course other communications, including this series will continue with weekly
publications.
Financial Planning
Conservative
financials and ever-evolving revenue opportunities suggest that our plan is
built on solid ground.

The Digital Landscape
Almost
every company, organization, school, artist and entrepreneur will think this
year about their basic technology and equipment for access. For us, this is our Digital Landscape. With many changes afoot, think about “Program
Integration” for existing and new devices.
Our
enterprise wide, common platform will be a universe of Apple, Google or
Microsoft products. With months thus far
looking at each, we have come to a time of decision-making. If this is truly going to be a 2013 rollout –
we better get busy.
Communications
We expect constant interaction with our crew, audiences and
the market by freely distributing our chart (flyer), through our public blog and
maintaining an active mailing list. For
events, Eventbrite, the on-line registration service serves us well.
If you would like to know more – send a note to my
attention.
Thanks.
