Networking is a valuable tool, but often little value returns to the company.
Embrace networking as a strategic tool within your business to avoid that returns are only based on goodwill, coincidence or necessity.

Why? |
Networking is a part of every business, whether you use it actively or not. As a company, you can use it for a variety of goals (lead generation, company branding, finding joint ventures...). Unfortunately a lot of impact and value are lost when it is poorly embedded. However, research indicates that companies that support their teams in building better (internal and external) networks will reap huge benefits.
|
What? |
We look at how your business can leverage and manage networks as a resource or commodity to achieve goals and be more competitive. In this way, we make companies more focused, agile and resilient.
|
How? |
We convey an approach to embed networks within your business. The approach starts top-down and is linked to the goals of the company. The speed and quality of the embedding depends on management commitment and internal availability. Afterwards, it can evolve with your company.
