CEOs and strategy teams within global companies are striving to create greater collaboration between business units to drive out waste, nurture innovation and accelerate time-to-market. Major investments in technology have yet to fully deliver the anticipated economic value in terms of business unit collaboration, whilst the debate continues around using a more centralised or decentralised approach to achieving global operational effectiveness.

However, an innovative alternative is emerging. Following early successes in global companies such as BP, Strategic Enterprise Communities are now viewed as an important catalyst for global co-operation, sharing and collaboration.

At our forthcoming collaborative session, we will address:
* the potential of Strategic Enterprise Communities
* where and how are members using them
* what are the key business challenges
* justification for investment in Communities
* value justification and how are target Communities being formed and grown

If you are a senior executive in strategy, knowledge management, best practice, learning or marketing who is actively developing, or considering, Strategic Enterprise Communities to drive greater collaboration, please join us for a case study from British American Tobacco followed by a roundtable discussion to address these important issues.
