Welcome to the October E bulletin. With Halloween looming and the financial crisis deepening, spooky times lay ahead for unprepared businesses. However we at QED Consulting endeavour to help you and your business thrive, offering you more business advice to help combat the financial ghouls! Talent Management Hard Times

Talent Management To quote Rudyard Kipling, *“If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs and blaming it on you”* then you may have a straw to hang onto at this time of financial meltdown and credit crises.

Latest seminar update & what would you like? The Business Continuity Planning & Disaster Recovery seminar at our Doncaster office last month attracted and enjoyed a captivated audience. Guest speaker Neil Strenge from Kingston Communications and Ali Imam Systems & Business Development Consultant at QED Consulting informed everyone on the importance of why each organisation should take the time out to develop such plans. The presenters highlighted a few key essentials including that; there must be commitment from senior management, a disaster recovery team should be put in place, information assets should be identified and this should not be led entirely by the IT department. We would like to say a huge thank you to both our speakers and to the organisations that were able to attend, including, Clyde Materials, Hawsons Chartered Accountants, EON Media and The Simons Group. To help assist us in providing you with topics of interest for both the seminars and the newsletter we would like to ask for your help. We have devised a short opinion sheet which we hope you will take 2 minutes out of your busy schedule to have a look at and inform us which topics you would be most interested in.
