Value Networks Workshop

We will be hosting a workshop in Saint John, NB, on Creating Value Networks for SME’s in the ICT Sector on Tuesday, March 20th, 2007. This event is being conducted in partnership with PropelSJ and NRC-IRAP, and it’s free.

Consider this your invitation

The workshop will be conducted by Patti Anklam, thought-leader and practitioner of value network analysis. Patti has literally written the book on the subject – Net Work: A Practical Guide to Creating and Sustaining Networks at Work and in the World, to be published this April.

The other hosts with me will be Hal Richman (Productivity Solutions) and Gordon Smith (CBCL Ltd.) who have applied value network analysis in the ocean and marine technology sector in Newfoundland & Labrador [I’ll be there too, but if you’re reading this on my blog, you already know me].

So what are value networks? According to Verna Allee, author of The Future of Knowledge: Increasing Prosperity through Value Networks:

A value network is a web of relationships that generates economic value and other benefits through complex dynamic exchanges between two or more individuals, groups or organizations. Any organization or group of organizations engaged in both tangible and intangible exchanges can be viewed as a value network, whether private industry, government or public sector.

Plan to attend this workshop and learn how value networks can help your organization do more business world-wide.
