Executive Forum - Networking for Businesses
The Executive Forum is a business network for senior executives and directors, which supports the development of your own strategic network.
In the networking group, we give members a framework to exchange ideas with peers from different industries, while being guided and challenged by some of the world's leading business professors.
A principal goal of the Executive Forum is to offer members the best possible foundation for business to business networking.
The network creates an exclusive forum where executives can meet and discuss current topics, network and acquire the latest knowledge from one of the best Business Schools in the world, INSEAD.
As an executive or professional board member you know how important it is to have a strong strategic network. The existing Executive Forum membership consists of senior management from Scandinavian companies, covering many different industries. Common to all members is that they are on the same level of management and have a desire to join a unique network where they have access to a large amount of high level knowledge which is hard to find in any other network.
If you wish to grow personally and professionally, it is important that you not only receive knowledge and input, but also contribute to the group discussions and interactions. Therefore, we help ensure that the members interact, and we facilitate meetings that are conducted in a high intensity and dynamic environment.
In an recent article Herminia Ibarra, Professor of Organisational Behaviour at INSEAD noted that:
“Strategic networking is the toughest but most essential if managers want to become business leaders.”
Ibarra explains that contact with peers and with senior executives in your field is vital and she encourages managers to look beyond their industry as well. She noted that:
“This allows managers to share ideas about best practices in management, learn new approaches and keep close tabs on developments in business and technology. It helps managers to see the bigger picture and create their own visionary approach.”
Business Kolding is dedicated to creating a strong network of executives and board members and it is important to us to ensure the experience level of the members is appropriate.
