Times are tough, and consultants now face challenges that confound even the most seasoned professionals. Darlene Crane, the featured speaker at PATCA's January dinner meeting, will pose the question, "During this turbulent economy, how can we develop deeper insights into our work and our processes to find new benefits to offer our customers and to strengthen our business practices?"

Crane's presentation will guide the audience to find strategic solutions to troubling questions, such as:

* Will my business model remain effective and relevant as the economy evolves?
* Is there still a demand in my current industry for my product or service line?
* How do I know who my ideal customer is these days?

Crane will present techniques for conducting primary market research, and will share insights into conducting deeper secondary research that is now essential for competing effectively and successfully. Hear examples of how classic techniques are being updated and used to develop new business models and enhance product and service distribution using new technology.

Attendees will learn:

* Recognize business situations in which an on-line survey is inadequate.
* When and how to dig into psychographic segmentation and behavior.
* How to address current public sentiment and satisfy customer desire for products or services that are sustainable or locally producted.
* Methods of long-term strategic analysis that lead to more effective forecasting.

- Prioritizing: How do you balance team management, planning for the future, and day-to-day decision making? How do you keep your team focused without micromanaging?

What a difference a year makes. Through 2009, venture investing had been relatively stable with 7 straight years between $22-30 Billion invested annually in the US. That streak ended abruptly in 2009, with VC investing down roughly 50%. Our panel will examine a number of issues facing the venture industry in 2010, including:
- Is the venture model broken? With a dead IPO market and few big M&A deals, can the venture industry return sufficient capital to warrant even $15B of investment annually by LP's?
- What will be different in 2010? Will venture investing go up, down, or sideways?
- Will the IPO market finally rebound in 2010?
- Clean Tech is still the new, new thing, but in a world of capital efficiency, how will it be affected?
- Where are valuations headed?

We're looking for those who are serious about treating their blog, podcast, and social media ventures as a for-profit business. Let's chat, share, and grow together.

Please RSVP if you're going to attend. If we have a lot more interest than anticipated, there may be a venue change and we'll update this listing. Feel free to contact aaron@hockleyphoto.com with any questions.
