Back To Black: An Impossible Problem?
22nd October (Week 2 - Thursday)
Time: 13:00 – 14:00
Venue: Lecture Room 2, Thom Building, Engineering Department
"Tough times are golden opportunities for reinventing a company’s performance, and determined, highly-intelligent engineering graduates can be just the people to show the way. Stroud and Company, in association with OUEngSoc, would like to invite you to a light-hearted, general interest lecture that will show how a young team were able to bring a company back from the brink of bankruptcy by solving some “impossible” technical problems. The lecture will be given by Andy Redfern, Partner of Stroud and Company, and a buffet lunch will be provided. It is open to all OUEngSoc members. If you want to see how the engineering mindset can bring companies from loss to profit in a matter of months, then you must attend this lecture."
