The BOSS Briefing: Building a Better Business Operating System

**Discover how simple systems can help you measure progress, improve positioning and make more informed business decisions.** **Explore a real business case study and learn practical ways to turn strategy into consistent action.** *Live FREE 60\-Minute Interactive Webinar \| Business Strategy\, Positioning & Growth* **Are You Working Hard in Your Business but Not Seeing the Progress You Expected?** Running a business requires more than professional expertise, determination and a good strategy. For many small business owners, the challenge is knowing whether their current approach is actually working. Perhaps you've developed a business plan, invested in marketing tools or attended strategy workshops, yet still find yourself wondering: * How effectively is my business positioned in the market? * Am I attracting the right clients? * How can I measure what's working and what needs attention? * What practical systems could help me make better business decisions? **The BOSS Briefing** introduces a structured approach to addressing these questions. Join **Dr Edward Klinger**, an engineer with more than 35 years of experience developing operating systems and sensor networks for critical infrastructure. Drawing on his engineering background, Edward will explore how principles of measurement, monitoring and continuous improvement can be applied to small businesses. Through a practical case study, he'll demonstrate how a structured business operating system can support clearer positioning, more consistent decision-making and measurable progress. **A Real Business Case Study** During the webinar, Edward will discuss the experience of Emma, a virtual assistant who reportedly increased her retained client base from two to fourteen over six months. Rather than presenting this outcome as typical or guaranteed, Edward will examine the systems and processes used during that period. The discussion will explore how Emma approached business positioning, performance measurement and regular reviews. Participants will have an opportunity to consider which elements might be relevant to their own circumstances. **What You'll Learn** During this interactive session, we'll explore: * **Business positioning:** Why professional expertise alone may not be enough to differentiate your services in a competitive market. * **A three-step framework:** How a structured approach can help connect business objectives with practical action. * **Measuring performance:** Ways to assess your positioning and monitor business progress. * **Weekly business reviews:** How regular check-ins can help identify opportunities, challenges and areas requiring attention. * **Turning strategy into action:** Practical methods for introducing greater consistency into everyday business operations. **Who Should Attend?** This webinar may be particularly useful for: * Small business owners and entrepreneurs seeking a more structured approach to growth. * Consultants, coaches and service providers wanting to strengthen their market positioning. * Business owners who find themselves juggling multiple tools, strategies and competing priorities. * Professionals interested in practical performance measurement and continuous improvement. * Anyone curious about how operating-system principles can be adapted to business management. **No engineering or technical background is required.** **What Can You Expect to Take Away?** By the end of the session, you'll have: * An introduction to a structured business operating system. * A better understanding of how positioning and performance can be measured. * Insights from a practical small-business case study. * Ideas for introducing a simple weekly review process. * A starting point for evaluating which systems may be useful in your own business. The emphasis is on learning, discussion and practical application rather than quick fixes or guaranteed results. **We Hope You'll Join Us!** Whether you're establishing a new business or looking for ways to improve an existing one, this session offers an opportunity to explore how practical systems can support better business management. Come along, bring your questions and discover some ideas you may wish to apply in your own business. **We look forward to welcoming you!** **Disclaimer** This webinar is provided for educational and professional development purposes. The case study describes an individual business experience and should not be considered representative of typical results. Business outcomes vary according to individual circumstances, and no specific financial, client acquisition or business growth results are guaranteed.

Face to Face: Speed Networking & Profesh Headshots

Networking usually means standing in a corner clutching a drink, hoping someone talks to you. This isn't that. Face to Face is a FREE event, an evening for women to actually meet each other. We run it speed-networking style: a few short, friendly rounds so you get proper one-on-one time with everyone in the room, not just the person you arrived with. No pressure, no performing, just good conversations with women who get it. And because a good photo shouldn't cost a fortune, we have photographer Morgyn Goff who will be set up on the night taking headshots for £5. One shot is yours to keep and will be emailed to you in the following week for that amount, and you can buy more if you want or stick to what you have. Consider it the nudge you needed to finally sort out that LinkedIn photo. Thanks Morgyn for this incredible offer!! We are trying to boost women-led businesses at each event so if you have a business please come along so we can add you to our index of women champions. Spaces are limited (it's speed networking, after all), so grab yours below. Come as you are. We can't wait to meet you. At WILL (Women in Leadership & Leverage), we're building a community where women can grow their careers on their own terms, in a space of their own.

Databricks London Meetup - Data & Spritz - Databricks Genie

**Databricks UK Meetup: Data & Spritz** **Conversational Analytics, Community and Genie in Practice** **Thursday, 15 October 2026** **The Chapel at Elmtree, Marylebone, London** **Free in-person event** **Registration and more information:** https://datapao.com/london-meetup-genie/ What if you could ask your company’s data a question in everyday language, and get a useful answer back without building a dashboard or writing a query? That’s the idea behind **conversational analytics**. Instead of searching through reports or asking a data team to investigate every question, users can interact with data much more like they would with an AI assistant: **“What’s driving growth this quarter?”** **“Which customer segments are performing best?”** **“Summarise the key trends in this data.”** At this meetup, we’ll explore how this works in practice using **Databricks Genie** \- Databricks’ conversational analytics experience designed to help people ask questions of business data using natural language\. You **don’t need to know Databricks or Genie already** to join us. If you work with data, analytics, BI or AI, or you’re simply interested in how AI is changing the way people interact with business data, this evening is for you. **What we will explore** We’ll look beyond the polished AI demo and discuss what it actually takes to make conversational analytics useful inside an organisation. That includes how Genie works, what needs to happen behind the scenes before users can reliably ask questions of their data, how teams create the right business context, and how organisations think about trust, governance and adoption. You’ll also see **Genie in action**, hear practical perspectives from people working with the technology, and have the opportunity to ask questions directly to Databricks and Datapao practitioners. **Expect:** **Live demos** See how conversational analytics works and what a real Genie experience looks like. **Practitioner insights** Hear what teams need to consider when moving from an interesting demo to something people can genuinely use. **Real-world perspectives** We’re bringing together Databricks, Datapao and customer perspectives so the discussion isn’t limited to the technology itself. **Open discussion** There will be plenty of time for questions and conversation around what works, what is challenging, and where conversational analytics is heading. **Networking over prosecco** After the sessions, stay for drinks and meet other people from London’s data and analytics community. **Who should join?** This meetup is for anyone interested in modern analytics and AI, including data analysts, data engineers, analytics engineers, BI professionals, data architects, AI developers, platform teams, technical consultants, analytics leaders and product owners. You might already use Databricks, or you might be hearing about Genie for the first time. Both are completely fine. The aim is to make the evening useful whether you are already experimenting with conversational analytics or simply want to understand what it is and where it could fit. **Speakers:** **Amit Dass** Engineering Lead, Doctor Care Anywhere **Lingeshwaran Kanniappan** Senior Solution Engineer, Databricks **Lucas Stone** Field Engineering Staff Member, Databricks **Dave da Silva** Delivery Solutions Architect, Databricks **Máté Gulyás** CEO, Datapao We are also inviting a customer to join the programme and share a real-world perspective on using conversational analytics inside an organisation. **Agenda:** **17:30** – Doors open, registration & prosecco **18:00** – Welcome **18:10** – Conversational analytics and the Databricks perspective **18:30** – Genie live demo **18:55** – Genie in practice: implementation and real-world perspectives **19:15** – Panel discussion + audience Q&A **19:30 onwards** – Food, drinks & networking **Venue** **The Chapel at Elmtree** 32 Welbeck Street Marylebone London W1G 8EU **About the Databricks UK Meetup:** **These new Data & Spritz Databricks Meetups by Datapao** is about bringing the data community together around useful conversations, practical technology and real experiences with a glass of prosecco. No prior Databricks knowledge required. You will get practical ideas, live demos, good questions and people working on similar challenges. **The event is free, but places are limited.
