Very interesting Business Link seminar yesterday on market trends and technology. I'm going to take a look at some of the issues raised in the next few posts.
While the seminar gave delegates much in the way of food for thought regarding where their customers are online and what they're doing, it didn't answer any of the questions that have been floating around about the future of Business Link itself.
The rumour is that the Business Link service is threatened with cuts - maybe more than that. Personally, as a new kid on the block, I've found the resources and advice offered by Business Link to be massively useful and encouraging and I think it would be a tragedy to lose it.
Because, when you think about it, at a time when the economy is slowly getting up from its knees, if you can somehow group together people with ideas and skills they want to try out for themselves, and then empower them with an agency that points them in the right directions you might just be on to something. Something big. Something like ... a Big Society. No? Too cheesy? Fair enough.
So, Mr C. You might want to get back to us when you've had a chance to think this through. OK?
