Testimonials

“As compared to 2011 that was the year when we extended Business Days project to the national level, in 2012 we will keep on carrying the event to other regional centres, in order to cover the event at national level as better as possible and to help the entrepreneurial environment for all over the country. Furthermore, in 2012, we will extend the influence area towards our neighbouring countries, mostly so as to facilitate the interaction between companies and to encourage the association spirit as an efficient way of facing the challenges that we live nowadays. Creating a platform of business networking opportunities for the business environment is the main goal of Business Days event in 2012 as well. “ – Laszlo Pacso, main organizer, project manager „It was a conference organized at a level that I have never found in Timisoara up to now.

Online, Social Media

Business Days events, at the fifth edition (Bucharest, November

2011), satellite conferences were introduced, taking place in parallel with the main conferences dedicated to the entrepreneurship and successful management. The satellite conferences were

conferences dedicated to the specialists in two key fields: sales and human resources. As this idea was warmly received by the participants, we have decided its continuation at each edition in 2012, yet with a new organisational set-up. These satellite conferences will not take place simultaneously with the main conferences, but they will take place simultaneously with the two series of 4 after lunch workshops: also, there will be the possibility to buy access tickets for the thematic conferences only. These conferences will take place in an interactive way as debates on topics of interest or specialists from different fields will face top managers and entrepreneurs or division managers, the purpose being that of raising the communication degree and of enhancing the efficiency of the interaction between these categories of business people. Again, starting with 2012, 4

special workshops will be introduced, workshops that will focus on the development and improvement of certain special abilities , such as:       

Project Management (modern methods) Risk Management Quality Management Supply Chain Management Team Management Business Intelligence Modern methods in human resources management

As in the special conferences case, there will be the access possibility only for the 4 special workshops within a Business Days event, at a special price. The conferences and special workshops topics will be determined according to the field particularity, the challenges and necessities identified in the region where the event will take place.

BUSINESS DRIVE This year, Business Days in partnership with Diagma and Marius Ghenea, will launch a large management competencies development project as a simulation game suggestively called BUSINESS DRIVE. Business Drive is a Diagma „Business Game” type educational product designed to help the participants in developing and exercising management knowledge and abilities. Structured as an interactive workshop during a 5 day period, the program includes theoretical modules that approach, from the management perspective, the main “critical areas” of a business: Marketing, Sales, Production, Logistics, Human Resources, doubled by practical modules where the participants are directly involved in the decision making process and in the management of a business realistically simulated through a customized software application, during 4 annual business cycles. The business simulation truthfully reproduces the actual economical context, including known elements like market, competition, law, but also random elements (price fluctuations, political or social events).

http://businessdrive.businessdays.ro Our plans don’t stop here, but they also include other surprise-projects, about which we will inform you on the way …
