Member Blog Have you looked at the cost of your businesses? SME 2.0 Blog by @AdrianCorbett #tagtribe As everyone knows, credit has been hard to come by for some time now, and we have noticed a definite decrease in the number of deals financed by any significant level of debt (e.g. company acquisitions, management buyouts, etc) in the last 18 months or so.

Our clients are therefore largely either doing deal
Member Blog Cash is King - Carbon is Queen SME 2.0 Blog by @EEPaul #tagtribe Earlier this year, I was asked to write a short piece for Construction Manager magazine about the top 10 technology trends in construction (see blog post). Several of the trends I wrote about will have a much wider influence that many people think, particularly given the importance of the construction industry to the economy as a whole. Take Building Information Modelling (BIM) for instance. It may not surprise you to know that the UK construction industry hasn't yet widely embraced th
Marketing How to blog friends and Influence people - by Andy Bargery I’m Blogging for Bernie, well TAGtribe. Bernie’s been asking me for weeks to write a post for the TAGTribe blog. In fact I’m sure he’s asked every member to write a post. The strange thing is that very few of us actually have, which is surprising given everyone I have met through TAG has been a motivated, driven business owner / leader, looking to grow their business and make connections. Why then are we all passing up on the opportunity for some free publicity? Perhaps

justsaying You two faced........! Why is that a good idea? This Week we are featuring a guest post from each of our Late Late Breakfast Show Speakers next up is Steve Trister! Why being “Two Faced” is brilliant! The art of being "Two Faced" in this instance does not take on the standard meaning of "speaking behind someone's back". In this case it's about tapping into the many facets we all have in our personality. This is something that as an actor, it's critical for me to be aware of and a real eye opener. My love and passion is ch

The first time I met Emma Thompson I was running my retail fashion business. Emma T. was everything you might imagine, especially if you are a fan, like me.

Insight What we need, want and would like by Daniel Esparraguera Everyone has a unique experience, their life and the story of it that is delivered in narrative. It is compelling stuff to hear and as people I believe we are attracted to narrative as a means of communication. When we hear a life delivered through narrative the information seems to almost arrive and be received in a different way, it is not just easier to understand, it is clearer as well. As business people when we hear or see a successful individual communicating the
