Is your business made to be international? Why not?
Business in the current climate is tough. Budgets are constrained but the need to innovate and collaborate is greater than ever. The IT revolution is making communication cheaper, easier and more global than ever before. Also the business regulatory environment is more supranational or global. These trends are making an international focus more relevant for all businesses.
Harnessing your networks to go international
Businesses need their networks to work for them. If you’re a small business or even a large one you need to know what networks are out there, how to access them, how to harness them and how to operative effectively internationally.
Participants will:
– learn to uncover hidden networks abroad (trade associations, technology platforms, clusters, best practice, online networks)
– learn to uncover local networks including real examples from industry/academia
– learn how to identify your networks
– learn how to harness your networks at low cost
– receive a ten-step checklist for your company’s to-do list
