Network your way to business success

By Aimee Greaves

With conference season well under way in the UAE it is easy to forget exactly why they are useful and important from both a business and consumer point of view.

Dubai has become a centre for international conferences and exhibitions. In January alone the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre (DICEC) recorded one million visitors and a 50 per cent surge in the events sector.

In addition to Roy’s work as a moderator and speaker on business networking, he has a number of other business interests.

He is the founder of a soon-to-be launched video based eLearning website – www.eConsult.tv 

EConsult.tv provides the insight, wisdom and knowledge of outstanding people in their fields - from them - 'in-person' –on video. Coaching and mentoring is the new 'thing' - but there aren't enough top class coaches and mentors around - and the best ones are expensive and booked up. eConsult.tv is a revolutionary approach to learning. Up until now, classroom learning and training is incredibly inefficient - arranged for the convenience and availability of the trainer or even the room provider!

Everyone goes into a training session with at least some existing knowledge on the subject - so in many cases, courses can take a lot of time - but perhaps 50-80% was already known by the learner - therefore a waste of very expensive time.

When a student attends a course, they have to learn what the trainer has decided to teach. Pitching everything at the right level is a huge problem for trainers.

EConsult.tv takes a business topic and then breaks it down into as many questions as possible. True experts in their fields are then interviewed using those questions. The questions for each topic are listed on the website, giving the learner the opportunity to select only the questions they would like the answers to - thus creating a unique 'syllabus for one'. Merely by scanning the questions - the learner gets a rapid overview of the nature and scope of the topic. This also saves them time, and crucially, allows them to learn at any time of the day or night.

More formal curricula will have a more structured approach.

The process of pulling together outstanding people has already begun. The site already has over 3,000 videos. As part of proving the concept, we have put together a detailed video based course on business networking. Most of it is led by Roy (because he was available!) although a lot of other devoted networkers have been interviewed too.
