When companies expand into new markets or consider overseas investments, it’s often hard to get a true sense of the landscape. Public data can be outdated or limited, and internal teams may not have enough first-hand knowledge of the local industry. That’s why gaining insights directly from people who’ve worked in the field is so important.
This is where Expert Network Services (ENS) come in ㅡ connecting businesses with industry professionals who can offer real, experience-based perspectives to support smarter, faster decision-making.
What is ENS and How It Works
ENS is a service that systematically manages industry professionals and matches them with companies based on specific needs. Unlike traditional consulting, ENS connects you directly with experts who have hands-on experience in your target field, providing more realistic and actionable insights.
- Project Brief: Define specific questions or challenges
- Expert Matching: Identify the most relevant expert candidates
- Expert Verification: Vet theirf background, expertise, and credibility
- Interview Execution: Conduct sessions via video, phone, in-person, or written formats
- Insight Application: Use the insights to support strategy and decision-making
Why Companies Are Increasingly Turning to ENS
Accelerating Market Changes: Digital transformation and post-pandemic shifts have made traditional market research reports and public data insufficient for capturing real-time market dynamics.
Global Business Complexity: International expansion requires deep understanding of local regulations, consumer behavior, and business practices that only local expert can provide.
Need for Specialized Knowledge: With rapid technological advancement, industries have become highly speicialized, and internal teams often lack the full spectrum of needed expertise.
Cost Efficiency: Project-based expert consultations are more cost-effective than hiring full-time speicalists or entering into long-term advisory contracts.
