Networking and Relationship Building

Some people believe that networking is simply meeting or speaking with someone new at an event!

In effect a trading or transactional relationship in which the two parties seek to discover whether or not they can sell one another anything, exchange business cards and quickly move on. But Networking is so much more!

In a world where people prefer to do business with someone they know or have been recommended to, investing a little in developing the skills and strategies that will enlarge, and make better use of the spiders web of direct and indirect contacts we all have can only be time well spent! After all think of the benefits and value of expanding those relationships over time!

Encouraging Innovation Through 5 Key Conversations

The challenge of encouraging innovation

The realities of dynamic and changing marketplaces, including intense competition, new technologies, and increasing customer demands, require that traditional management methods change.

Organisations of the future will be judged on the quality of their ideas and the speed these ideas can be translated into viable products or services that sell in the marketplace.

Creative ideas are often unanticipated or from unexpected sources so the best companies are looking for ways to create a culture that actively promotes these improvements and innovations. They will typically feel like a small company culture in which ideas come from everywhere and employees have extensive relationships with customers and suppliers in order to stay close to their needs.

Companies will need to encourage 'boundarylessness,' breaking through organisational lines up, down, and across so that good ideas are invited and harvested regardless of where they originate.
