DCU Alumni invites DCU graduates to a series of Business Breakfast Briefings.

It also brings like-minded graduates together to share experiences and exchange information.
On Friday December 7, Regina Moran (MBA 2000), Chief Operating Officer with DMR Consulting speaks about "The Changing Environment and the Future Role for Managers". The presentation will cover the changes in the economy, changes in management style and how companies are adapting to these changes.
In January, Robert Mulhall (BSc in Applied Physic 1995), Sales & Marketing Information Manager with AIB will talk about "Serving the Customer over Multiple Channels". Robert will discuss the evolution of customer channels, the challenge of how to maintain and instil loyalty in an impersonal medium and how banks will have to adapt to survive in the networked economy.
