With going to Europe for a series of SharePoint and collaboration master classes the week of March 30 to April 3, it makes sense to add a week in the US on the way over there. Here’s the deal: I have five days available for consulting in the US, ideally working from the west coast over towards the east coast so I can fly to London late on March 27.

Here’s some possibilities:
– I could run a Seamless Teamwork workshop at your place … starting with an overview of the book, and then having a facilitated discussion about how to bring the ideas to life in your firm;
– I could run a workshop looking at different collaboration tools, and help you fast-track your analysis of which tools should be short-listed;
– I could facilitate a discussion on how to act as a business in the current economic situation, and help you plan how collaboration tools can help;
– … or something else (eg, see my blog for other content / focus ideas).

If you are interested in having me at your firm for one day (or a couple), please get in touch ASAP.

Note: this is likely to be my only US tour before November 2009 … so if you want in, get in. And hey, you don’t have to pay the international travel costs!
