Our approach means that 80% of the experts we present are not currently working with other Expert Networks. Together we can then generate the right leads and find the perfect expertise. Our consultants’ mission is to understand each project and its context, presenting this first to our Knowledge Team in order to refine our understanding and subsequent search angles. Through human research rather than mechanical database selection, we find professionals who will support our clients accurately and in an efficient timeframe. Right from the beginning, we decided to gather an outstanding team of consultants who excel in finding the right people quickly. It also shows that it can be necessary to seek support or shortcuts in order to generate these relevant connections. This shows that not everyone has access to the same number or relevant connections in order to get to the right individual.
What few realise, however, is that only around 30% of the packages actually reached their destination and the broader results also indicated that in some instances only 2 degrees of connection were needed, and others more than 12! So what does this mean? His conclusive experiment took place in the US where a sample of around 160 people were required to send a package to a specific recipient in Boston, using only personal connections to try and achieve this. It is commonly known as the “6 degrees of separation” or “small world” theory. In the late 1960s, Stanley Milgram – an American psychologist made famous by his experiments on the obedience to authority – demonstrated that on average any two individuals in the world are separated by five connections.
