Is 2009 going to be kind to you?

aCE talentNET Global Consultant Study Latest

If you want to get more work, all you have to do is ask your clients what they want… and they'll tell you accurately because THEY ARE the EXPERTS.
Another way we put this, is "you are NOT your client". So frankly, what YOU think, doesn't count.

Bowing to our own philosophy, and as you will have seen at the end of 2008, we recently surveyed the NETwork.
Here's a little of what you told us you wanted from aCE talentNET (full report due soon), specifically in terms of our WEB SITE...

- 51.3% of you want to be able to "advertise" potential projects/opportunities

- 33.8% of you want a dedicated consultant section

- 42.5% of you want consultant training and development opportunities listed

- 30% of you want a list of preferred suppliers

- 46.3% of you want a consultants forum, to discuss all things consulting

- 25% of you want a mechanism to access teams of consultants for large projects

and we've heard you...

Introducing the new aCE talent NET web site ...

Please go and have a good look around and let us know what you think...

Whilst not all the new features are listed there yet, we are too excited not to let you see and use what's there now,
and we'll continue to advise you when new elements area added.
