Networking is something that is often seen by organizations as important, but never truly urgent. We know that being able to network, both internally and externally, has so many benefits – from helping to find customers and attracting diverse talent to sourcing suppliers and creating more community. But no-one ever takes responsibility for the function. Leaders will talk a good game and say networking is critical for success, but there’s rarely any action behind these words. The solution?

Kingsley is the CEO of The Networking Institute and a contributor to the SocialTalent platform.
