Congratulations! You've Survived the Meltdown! 

Now WHAT?

You've reduced your headcount, frozen pay and bonuses, focused on your key customers, rationalised your suppliers and you've survived.  Now what?

Most commentators agree that things aren't going back to where they were.  If anything, the pace of change and competition are going to get even hotter with the practice your competitors have had in surviving... and there's less money to invest...

So we must systematically innovate.  We must innovate our industries, our businesses and organisations and ourselves. In other words: before somebody else "eats your lunch", better figure out how to eat theirs.

Our Inspiration Evening theme for 2009: "A Menu for Innovation"

You will leave us with:

• real energy and passion to innovate
• good ideas of what to do to get things really moving
• a deeper understanding of what you need to change about yourself
• concrete business ideas
• laughter and new contacts

In short, Fun & Learning,

and

No Blah Blah!

Pentacle was founded in 1995 by Eddie Obeng.  It is an antidote to the old world of consultancy and business education. 

We help you learn new effective approaches so that  you can transform, your industry your organisation or business and yourself

We have spent a lot of energy and ingenuity establishing how to think act and behave to achieve success in our complex and changing world.  All our people are either teachers who really understand business or real business people who can teach (not just present! How many Powerpoint presentations have you watched = the number you have completely forgotten...)
