Welcome...    

arrowsLast year, WMB held the inaugural O2 WMB Conference & Awards to a sell out audience at Dublin’s Shelbourne Hotel. This year, we are putting the finishing touches to our line up and it’s one date that is an ‘absolute must’ for your BlackBerry Pearls – now available in pink ladies! 

It is generally accepted that time is now one of our scarcest commodities. Do we work

to live or live to work – Sometimes it’s hard to decipher. So when you take four major companies – O2, Accenture, Irish Life and the County & City Enterprise Boards; and add a passionate title like WMB to the mix, you can be sure that the end result will be worth your investment.

Rosemary Delaney is publisher of WMB and highlights that: “We live in a world that demands the very best from us if we want to succeed – if we want to stand out from the crowd and be recognised. Success however, means different things to different people – we don’t all want to be chiefs but with hard work and vision we want to ‘believe’ that we can achieve what we desire. This event gives attendees the inspiration and motivation, which is sometimes needed to reach our goals. It also gives our readers, their mentors and peers, the opportunity to nominate or self-nominate for one of a number of important awards."

Linked into Accenture WMBig Idea Award is a mentoring programme, which the winner of this Award will receive. Accenture is the largest management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company in Ireland. They collaborate with clients to help them become high-performance organisations. In the same way, through the mentoring programme Accenture will use their skills to help turn a big idea into something tangible. Accenture’s Gavin Maxwell will provide four, two-hour mentoring sessions to advance your concept.

The package includes expert advice from Accenture personnel during these workshops, which will cover such areas as:

Personal Leadership (to create understanding of personality traits, strengths, weaknesses; areas for growth and areas for exploitation);

Organisational (to consider the business, to help decide what people and behaviours are needed to turn your idea into a business);

Commercial (to consider how to market and sell and to create cash flows to sustain the viability of your company);

Operational (to understand how to implement and operationalise the business — the practical implementation).

In addition, Accenture will host a one-day session to help with your plan — to shape the business based on your idea.

And it doesn’t stop there! Accenture is delighted to commit to two further one hour meetings for the Award winner with a Senior Executive from their organisation with a view to discussing progress and strategy.

We’re delighted that Accenture has recognised the natural link with 02 Women Mean Business Conference & Awards 2008. This package is of considerable worth to a new business and offers an opportunity for you to realise your dream. At WMB we have decided to track your progress through a series of diary notes in our magazine over the period of the consultation.
