Internal Networking

By February 22, 2011 No Comments

Your company has a formal network, i.e. lines of communication and structure to channel information throughout the organization.

Create your own “informal” internal network and reap the potential rewards:

  • By developing support and sponsorship in departments other than your own, you may be able to make a career enhancing move.
  • You may receive advanced knowledge of what skills are going to be most in demand at your company.
  • You may receive advanced knowledge of proposed layoffs and what departments are most likely to be affected.
  • You may receive advanced knowledge of “illegal conduct” that may tarnish the reputation or ongoing viability of the company, i.e. Enron, MCI-WorldCom.

Do you think your company can or desires to provide this information in a timely manner? Of course not. It pays to develop your own network.

Get started today: invite someone from another department to go to lunch.
