Interactive Business Round Table discussions

Flamebond roundtables bring together small groups of high-level experts in a highly interactive environment using a 'give and take' methodology and together they are working on solutions and concepts aimed at developing themselves and their businesses. 


Together, we search for solutions and we identify business opportunities based on case studies analysis and by using the Problem-Based Learning method. Each meeting is conducted online on a special exchange platform, and may involve a maximum of 12 participants. The well-planned structure and detailed preparation of the meeting from the merit and organizational side lead to a very efficient use of discussion time. During Flamebond meetings, we cover many different topics in areas such as retail, e-commerce, payments, innovations, production, and supply chain. Regardless of the subject, each meeting is an optimal solution for busy managers.
