Old Saybrook, CT: The Southeastern Connecticut chapter of SCORE, a nonprofit association dedicated to the success of small businesses, continues its year-round series of Small Business Workshops with “Assessing Your Business Health.” No Surprises! You can get close to that ideal by reviewing the ongoing viability of your business on a periodic basis. This workshop will blend a thought model, some useful guidelines and references, and participant experiences into a practical framework for use in assessing business health. Discussions and reference readings will touch on financial health, customer relations, marketing, management and employee relations, operations, and risk management. In addition to the presenter, several other SCORE counselors will discuss experiences in the workshop.

His background includes starting several business consulting firms, working at Price Waterhouse in New York City, and reaching the level of Chief Technical Officer for a large insurance corporation. He is a professional project manager and has experience working on merger/acquisition teams, developing strategic plans, executing large financial systems projects, and managing mid-sized organizations. He is also an experienced technical trainer. Mike is retired from business.
