Cordis Briefing

The Cordis Briefing is a quarterly event. It offers senior professionals a strategic insight into developments in the social care sector, including:

• An analytical review of recent events, news, policy decisions and trends
• Summaries of original research by Cordis Bright
• Informed opinions on events and future trends
• Clear pointers for attendees and their organisations as to how they are likely to be affected and where they need to take practical action

The briefing is aimed mainly at organisations in the independent sector, across adult and children's services. Organisations sign up for a minimum of a year, although most continue their subscriptions for much longer.

What's included in the briefing?

This is a strategic briefing that takes place once a quarter. It involves:

• A two-hour presentation by senior Cordis Bright consultants
• An informal lunch and opportunity for conversation with other attendees and Cordis Bright personnel
• Written notes accompanying the briefing
• Online access to all current and past briefing materials via the subscription area of Cordis Bright's website

Who's it for?

The briefing is for social care organisations in the independent sector. It caters mainly to the needs of senior professionals.

What subjects does it cover?

The session looks at developments in the social care sector over the latest quarter: trends, issues in the news, policy decisions and the results of research by Cordis Bright. We take a deep look at what's happening in the sector, undertake our own research and provide our own opinions and analysis. The briefing deals not only with what's been happening, but what it means for our attendees and how they can respond. We also look ahead to what's likely to be happening in future - and have a pretty good track record of accurate predictions.

Why is it valuable?

The Cordis Briefing gives you:

• Excellent value for money with a level of research and insight that would otherwise require a major investment in journals, researchers and internal strategists
• A regular chance to step outside demanding day-to-day business and think strategically about the marketplace and your organisation's place in it
• Access to senior Cordis Bright consultants who are experts in their field and have a uniquely informed perspective on the sector
• The opportunity to meet peers from other organisations and talk in an informal and confidential setting
