Ready for an Adventure? Eight Reasons Why You Should Explore the New World of the Networked Business at #SAPPHIRENOW
Collaborative networks have become a constant presence in our lives – in ways that many of us probably haven’t fully realized. In one way or another, we’ve all
taken advantage of the benefits offered by networks:
- Amazon and Etsy make shopping easier
- Facebook and LinkedIn make staying connected to friends and business contacts simpler
- Airbnb and Trip Advisor make travel planning faster
In the networked world, we gain efficiency, fuel creativity and collaboration, manage relationships, and discover cost savings.
