How the workshop works

• When applying, each delegate submits 2 problems/barriers preventing business development.
• Each delegate gives a 45 second elevator pitch (description of their business).
• Delegates then divided into groups of 4 based on highlighted problems, as far as
• possible.
• Each member of each group presents one of their barriers which is then “brainstormed” by the delegates.
• The above is repeated in the second half of the workshop, with the groups reshuffled.

At the mid session coffee break there will be a 35 minute opportunity to network with fellow delegates

• Each delegate is also offered additional services on a one-to-one basis from Edeal.
• All delegates will be able to view the suggestions made by each group.
• All delegates will receive a report of their highlighted problems.
