YTKO’s communities provide clear and unique value to their members – combining high levels of communication, pro-active support, pragmatic information, and stimulating business relationships.
All of our networks and communities feature a dynamic programme of high quality events and seminars, featuring special interest groups, promotional and procurement opportunities, coaching, training development, and proactive connections established both within and outside the group.
The key ingredients needed to make a network community self-sustaining is the delivery of a range of ‘paid-for’ value to the membership, and a proactive, visionary, energetic driver who understands business needs and challenges.
A dynamic innovation network can achieve many valuable things:
- Increase enterprise awareness and ambition
- Provide a two way communications channel
- Engender high levels of peer support
- Increase partnerships and collaborations
- Aid business growth and job creation
- Strengthen regional supply chains
- Support cluster development
- Inspire and inform through role models
YTKO’s sophisticated technology underpins several of its networks, providing very user-friendly interfaces and simple back-office administration. It combines several core functionalities, including event management, content management, member management and CRM. It is also enabled to collect full European Social Fund data. This facilitates project reporting and analysis by many data fields, including gender, ethnicity, geography, skills and education, age, turnover and sector.
