I'm generally averse to offering free business consultation as it can devalue what we do to pure implementation. However if it's done right it could be interesting, so keep me posted.

I reckon may be best to focus on drop in with options for arranging specific
sessions once they've had a first triage session
much easier to cover it that way and less difficult to understand for
punters

ah, so it's a good idea :)
i think it can be all those things, depending on who's available.
maybe do days specific to certain areas? or is it better to mix it up,
to help people across all of that?
maybe if we start by seeing who we can get some interest from in being
an expert, and then build around the skills available.

yep sounds good to me too
is it a an ideas clinic? drop in for a chat about your ideas and how we can
give them a boost?
or maybe it could be a social media clinic? twitter clinic? business clinic?
ideas clinic?

hey all,
i hope this group becomes useful, oh, here's a chance... :)
i was chatting to andy keetch (and mat walker separately) the other
day about the brighton festival, and the various digital activities,
and had the idea to do something similar to the Idea Shop that Ogilvy
did recently..
