What
does the Series fee cover?
The Series
fee covers all five Guru sessions plus
materials (a book by each author, articles,
slides, etc.) and complimentary one-year
FastTrack* subscription (for
post-session audio downloads, summaries and
more). The Series subscription is individual
-- you will have your own username and
password, though sessions and materials are
shareable with others. You may have as many
people join you for the sessions as you wish
as long as your group listens from one
phone, and you may distribute materials with
everyone who participates, except where
special copyright restrictions are noted.
* Current
FastTrack members receive a 15% discount
on the fee.
What if I can't make one or more of the
sessions?
Audio
downloads and summaries will be available to
you shortly after each session on a
member-only section of our website. You may
also designate another individual from your
company to be the primary participant in
your place.
Can I buy attendance to just one session?
It is
possible, but not optimal. The Guru sessions
build on each other and provide an overall
direction and cohesive action plan. Series
subscribers not only save a significant
amount on the per session cost, they receive
the benefits of an exclusive
subscribers-only online forum for networking
and dialogue. They also receive downloadable
follow-up summaries, slides and audio-files
as well as year-round access to new research
and content. However, if single-session
attendance is your preference, you may
register here (link to ala carte
registration coming soon).
Management Roundtable also offers
a la carte audiosessions which are not
part of the Guru Series.
What format will the series be in?
Sessions
are live, delivered via telephone and
webinar technology (see technical
requirements below). All that is required is
a touch-tone telephone (preferably with
speakerphone so others can join you), and a
computer with high-speed Internet access to
display the accompanying slides. Sessions
are 90 minutes with half the time allotted
for interactive Q&A.

How does Q&A work?
You will be
able to ask questions of the expert
speaker(s) during the sessions, in
real-time, by phone or chat as well as by
email in advance (or after) to Management
Roundtable. Questions will be forwarded to
the designated expert or entire panel if you
wish.
Is
there a limit to the number of questions I can
ask?
You may
submit as many questions as you wish - we
cannot guarantee there will be time to
answer every question live on each call.
However all questions will be given to
speakers so that questions can be answered
via email. For best results, we recommend
that questions be as concise, clear and
focused as possible.
If you
are interested in detailed one-on-one
discussion with any of the speakers, please
contact us at 800-338-2223 or 781-891-8080
