Through a simple, five-step process, CognoLink connects Clients with Specialists from our network. For a brief overview, roll over each step or scroll down for more details.
Step 1: Clients Seek Information
Our diverse Client base, which includes the world’s leading investment and strategic consulting firms, contacts CognoLink to connect with our network of knowledgeable experts (or, as we call them, Specialists). Clients create a series of questions for Specialists as a part of their consultation, which can take place in a single one hour session or recur on an ad hoc basis.⇧
Step 2: Specialists Are Chosen
CognoLink taps into its network of 15,000+ specialists, covering virtually all industries and geographical areas. The most appropriate Specialists are matched according to each Client’s unique needs and compliance requirements to provide them with relevant and often niche information to aid ongoing business and investment decision making. If the knowledge does not exist in the network, CognoLink can custom recruit the needed skill set.⇧
Step 3: CognoLink Connects Clients With Specialists
Adhering to our privacy and compliance policies, CognoLink presents anonymous Specialist profiles to Clients for final selection. CognoLink will reveal identities only if both parties consent to the consultation, which is scheduled at the convenience of both Specialists and Clients.⇧
Step 4: Consultations Take Place
Clients and Specialists participate in the consultation by phone, in-person, or by web, often discussing market trends, industry drivers and competition.⇧
Step 5: Post-Consultation Activities
After the consultation, CognoLink compensates Specialists for their time and ensures Clients have received the required information. Clients may choose to work with Specialists on longer-term engagements.⇧
