The first Tuttle Club Breakfast will be at OneAlfredPlace (a newly-opened, fairly swanky, private members club in WC1 for those who don't know already)
This is where it is
What we'll be talking about
Social Media and the new world of work. Many of us are either working on our own or else in loose associations or else within an organisation but in partnership with a range of independent suppliers and contractors. None of us expect our careers to be anything like those of our parents' generation. How do we make sense of it, how do we keep our heads above water and how can getting to grips with social media help us out?
You may have seen Stephanie Booth's upcoming conference http://going-solo.net/programme/ - you might see this breakfast get together as an aperitif for that (though I don't recommend aperitif's for breakfast naturally)
When it is
Wednesday 23rd April 2008 - 8.30am to 10.00am

Minutes of the Breakfast
Here is the place to capture the conversation / ideas that came out of the discussion groups.
Rebecca's Business Development group

Rebecca Caroe, twitter me
Suw Charman-Anderson
Allix Harrison-D'Arcy
Dave Evans twitter
Richard Stacy link blog consulting blog email
Tom Salmon (twitter or email)
This group was there to think abut how we could use Tuttle to generate business for Tuttlers and also help Tuttlers "do" business development.
The things that came up were: (please feel free to elaborate - this is only a very top-line summary)
- Create a place where we could list the specialisms of the group - basically our CVs / company profiles - so we can see what our collective and individual competencies add-up to
- A noticeboard for job ideas (Rebecca - you may wish to flesh this out - I didn't really capture it)
- A pitching forum - where client briefs can be matched to relevant Tuttlers (already posted to the wiki at the bottom of this page)
- Help Tuttlers get to speak at conferences / encourage conference organisers to see Tuttle as a place to go to get speakers
- Can we use Tuttle to create a "sort of" virtual agency - allow members to be (and be seen to be) more than just a lone freelancer - but part of something bigger
- A forum to provide / share advice on how a freelance David can engage with a corporate Goliath - getting invoices paid etc
- Could Tuttle become a bit like a Guild - i.e. allow individuals to benefit from the strength of the group - but also to establish certain rules / codes that allow a Tuttle membership to convey a level of endorsement to a potential client
- Create a forum for "outing" bad practice - either in terms of highlighting clients who are time wasters or practitioners whose "talk"exceeds their ability to "walk"
