Who's This For
I'm writing this for anyone who has a network that exists on paper but doesn't produce results.
You have an advisory board that meets quarterly and offers polite encouragement but never opens doors. You're part of professional associations where you know people's names but can't mobilize their support. Your institution has alumni networks, industry connections, community partnerships, all of which exist but none of which activate when you need them.
This issue is about the difference between networks that exist and networks that work.
