Peter Cruikshanks from Outside in Management has brought his hot seat to our Bootcamp. Key takeaway is the need to have a scorecard to stop the ‘shiny disco ball in our minds’ #FSBbootcamp

Another stellar Network #MediaCity event last night with a great turnout and some fantastic new connections made. I'd also like to say a massive thanks to our generous hosts @SalfordUni and the team there who were epic when there was an issue with the catering.
