Executive Networks provides members with continuous value and strives to keep network members connected year round through Member-Driven Projects. These projects can range from brief surveys on topics of specific interest, a 3-month member discussion forum moderated by a member, to a wiki driven interaction to build a new competency model. The central characteristic of these projects is “member driven” which we believe equates to member value. In each of these projects, Executive Networks is equal parts enabler, facilitator, moderator, tool provider, knowledge disseminator and archiver.
Recent Member-Driven Projects include:
- A survey and webinar on Learning from Experience
