Strength In Numbers

 
This month our next generation roundtable was facilitated by Mike D’eredita from The Leading Element.  He led a conversation on how important collaboration is in all business but possibly maybe more so in upstate New York.  Since we have started the NYFBC I have seen some new collaboration and probably some rekindled ones.  Quite frankly this basically is the building blocks of the New York Family Business Center.  The  NYFBC believes our biggest resource is you.  We offer the opportunities for peers in different industries come together and talk about anything they want.  Mike talked about taking it further then the roundtables and meetings and possibly lunch one on one and talk about ideas.  You never know where the next big idea comes from!  

“Are there really any new ideas, how are ideas formed, where do they come from how do they develop?  All questions that bring us back to collaboration.  Take four minutes and watch this video it says it all.  Maybe this will start some new conversations of your own.

 Business is increasingly competitive and requires all approaches to connect.  We have all spent so many years establishing connections now it might be time to decide who else you need to connect with, or how you want to capitalize on the connections you already have.

Join in the conversation Wednesday, November 16th Family Business Breakfast Forum at Justin’ Tuscan Grill.  Navigating Awkward Conversations!  See you there!
