Breakfast at Birkbeck: flexible development programme launched
Birkbeck is well known for its high quality teaching and flexible evening study which every year enable thousands of working Londoners to obtain prestigious University of London qualifications. However, the College's Business School is now offering workshops at the other end of the day, with a series of intensive workshops and networking breakfasts which will run from Monday 10 January to Friday 15 April 2011.
The Breakfast at Birkbeck programme is led by internet pioneers, Red Cross negotiators and city bankers (amongst others) and consists of over 50 workshops which will equip management professionals to face the challenges of today’s business environment. Whether it’s considering Colin Powell’s fourteen 'Lessons of Leadership', a masterclass on social media or building customer information into the business strategy, the workshops will bring real benefits for companies and for those wanting to develop their careers.
The flexible programme has workshops grouped under various themes including: Transitions; You and Others; Getting Results; and New Perspectives. Each event will consist of a networking breakfast from 8am, followed by an intensive programme until 12 midday.
Philip Powell, Executive Dean of the Birkbeck School of Business, Economics and Informatics said, "We are delighted to offer this new development programme to those who are juggling careers with study, giving them an opportunity to learn from the experts about what is relevant and desirable for tomorrow’s organisation and an opportunity to extend their professional networks."
All workshops cost £159. To see the full programme or to book a workshop, go to www.bbk.ac.uk/breakfast or contact Tim Byne, Programme Manager, at t.byne@bbk.ac.uk or on 020 7631 6429.
