Successful Expert Co-Creation requires a broad and unique network to select only the very best in a certain field. In order to acquire, maintain and broaden this unique network you need people with the right skills. Eight months ago we hired our first Connector / Recruiter who would be responsible for this important task.

Successful co-creation doesn’t come cheap. It requieres a number of steps to deserve the trust, energy and ideas of a group or a person.

For a while now, I have been looking for a visual or movie that depicts this step and I have found it. 
Defining and choosing the right business model is one of the main problems when starting a new business or launching a new product / service. But also a change in market circumstances can force you to reconsider your current business model.

More and more companies feel that the internet is heavily affecting the way they do business. The whole world is upside down, one person with a positive or negative experience of your product / service can mobilize communities in a flash against or in favor of your business. And the ever increasing snowball of information makes online reputation management a day time job.. At least that’s how it seems.
