Registration for
BSC RoundTable Teleconference:
"Insiders' Insights for
Operating your BSC during CV crisis-time"
29 April

(select Site Directors at Business Services centres providing updates on how they are navigating the current environment)

The topic is “Best practices for operating SSCs during CV crisis-time”.  The goal is to encourage sharing of ideas and learnings during these extraordinary times. And share short-term tactics for the next 3 months.

While most of us can not meet each other, we have heads full of ideas and we want to replicate the confidential, small-talk exchange that is so valuable at small focused events. As moderator, Thom Barnhardt will “kick-off” the discussion by asking Speakers to tell us what steps you have already implemented in the last few weeks; then, the topics of discussion will be productive, results-oriented and actionable. The goal is to share ideas and learnings - and short-term tactics in the coming few weeks - during these extraordinary times. We've titled it: “Insiders' insights for operating SSCs during CV crisis-time”. 
Top
Topics of discussion include:
* Communication (new "norms" of how Site Directors are maintaining critically-important communcation channels to motivate and re-assure their teams)
* Cybersecurity issues are taking centre-stage.
* Working-capital channels and optimization.
* State-aid and subsidies.
* Staffing/Employment Levels: Hiring and salary freezes. Online Everything.
* HQs urgent calls for Cost Savings
* Real-estate/Offices costs: under rigorous scrutiny in next stage.   
* “Opportunities” in the carnage (i.e., taking on more services from higher-cost locations)
* After the "Lock-down": how BSCs will make even faster transitions to full Agile working.

The number of Speakers is limited to only 8 per teleconference. (We believe that more would make it unmanageable and less-productive.) And a strict time control of 55 minutes: We will start at 9:15am and finish by 10:15am.)

Rules of the teleconference:
a) Strict time control. We'll be “on” at 9:15am and finished by 10:15am.
b) Platform: Organizer will send participants a ZOOM video invitation to join.
c) White Paper Summary: After this “Best Practices Roundtable Teleconference”, we will summarize key conclusions and we will send this summary ONLY to participants – and within 24 hours.
Additional Benefit: We are doing these Teleconferences every 2 weeks, and all those who join one discussion will also receive the subsequent WhitePapers from all discussions.
