      <title>Enterprise Mentor - Worldwide Business Opportunity (Business Partners Wanted)</title>
      <link>http://www.slideshare.net/enterpriseleaders/em-bizop</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<img src="http://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/embizop-091226124203-phpapp01-thumbnail-2?1261924801" alt ="" style="border:1px solid #C3E6D8;float:right;" /><br> In this short presentation I&rsquo;d like to introduce you to a new opportunity which is available to business consultants, advisors, coaches, trainers, marketeers and business professionals around the world. The opportunity is to become a business partner of Enterprise Leaders Worldwide and help market, sell and share in the revenue from our Enterprise Mentor programme.

The decade beginning 2010 will see a seismic shift in the way companies engage with their employees and the people development methods they use. New mobile learning and e-learning models will come of age, as will the use of social media within a company. Enterprise Leaders worldwide is perfectly placed to capitalise on these Enterprise 2.0 developments, and through our flagship Enterprise Mentor programme, we&rsquo;re able to offer clients a proven, low-cost answer to their people development and employee engagement challenges, as well as help them drive growth in their revenue and profits.

As one of our business partners, you&rsquo;ll host workshops and seminars in your own geographical region for medium to large companies. We&rsquo;re looking to work with just 100 business partners around the world, initially these will be in english speaking regions, but we also welcome approaches from potential business partners in non-english speaking countries who are interested in translating Enterprise Mentor into their local language.

It&rsquo;s likely you will already have relationships with existing clients or will be in a position to host enterprise mentor workshops and attract  along senior decision makers who are either CEOs, VPs, directors or other senior decision making executives from sales and marketing, customers service, HR or operations. Through the workshops you&rsquo;ll educate these decision makers on the higher levels of employee engagement, innovation and business performance they can achieve when they introduce Enterprise Mentoring into their organisation.

After testing various marketing models, we&rsquo;ve found that workshops are the most successful and cost effective way to build meaningful relationships with decision makers, as it allows them to understand how Enterprise Mentoring can help create higher levels of employee engagement and profit growth in their own company. Workshops also give you as the facilitator time to understand the business challenges of the attendees and start to marry together their challenges with the results which they can achieve through enterprise mentoring.

As a workshop facilitator, you&rsquo;ll receive all the necessary the marketing materials in order for you to successfully promote, market and organise and Enterprise Mentor workshops. You&rsquo;ll also receive all the materials you need to run the full day event, including facilitator slides, notes and attendee handouts. Lastly, you&rsquo;ll receive essential advice, guidance and strategies to arrange one-on-one follow-on meetings so you can help companies understand precisely how to move forward with enterprise mentoring in their own business.

From a commercial perspective, you&rsquo;ll be able to share revenues from the sale of Enterprise Mentor programmes. You&rsquo;ll also have the opportunity to add your own additional consulting or coaching revenues on top of Enterprise Mentor licence revenues.

The revenue opportunity for you comes from selling site-licences of Enterprise Mentor into organisations, and through our scalable pricing, its very possible that you will be able to generate hundreds of thousands of extra revenue for yourself or your company, simply by hosting Enterprise Mentor workshops and following through with face-to-face sales meetings. 


Unlike many business opportunities which follow a franchise model, what we offer you here is a joint venture relationship with no initial capital investment needed by you upfront. The only investment you need to make is in your time and marketing to run an Enterprise Mentor workshop. You must however have the skill and ability to attract a room full of quality decision makers and walk them through the structured presentations - which you&rsquo;ll receive when you become an Enterprise Mentor business partner. That said, using the materials and proven strategies we make available to you, you&rsquo;ll have the best opportunity to educate decisions makers on the benefits of enterprise mentoring - and generate revenues from the follow-up meetings.

To ensure we maintain the highest standard and offer the greatest value and consistency for workshop attendees, this joint venture opportunity is only available to individuals and organisations who have a track record in consulting, coaching, training  or advising businesses on people and profit growth. Delivering the highest level of quality for our customers is our primary objective and it must be yours too.

To learn more about becoming a host for an Enterprise Mentor workshop and sharing in this revenue opportunity, simply email us at info@enterpriseleaders.com or visit enterpriseleaders.com where you can watch a short presentation which introduces Enterprise Mentor.

      <title>What is Enterprise Mentoring</title>
      <link>http://www.slideshare.net/enterpriseleaders/whatisem</link>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[<img src="http://cdn.slidesharecdn.com/whatisem-091225003652-phpapp02-thumbnail-2?1262004914" alt ="" style="border:1px solid #C3E6D8;float:right;" /><br> In the next ten minutes I&rsquo;d like to explain to you what Enterprise Mentor is and show you an example of how and why it works. At it&rsquo;s heart Enterprise Mentor is a personal, professional and business development programme which focuses on three key areas of your organisation: 1: Creating more engaged, passionate and motivated employees, 2: Increasing revenues and profits by delivering higher levels of service for your customers so they want to repeat buy and recommend you, and 3: Creating a company which is innovative, creative and full of new business growth ideas.

As its name suggests, Enterprise Mentor is an enterprise-wide mentoring programme, and where traditionally mentoring is only for CEO and board level executives, Enterprise Mentor is for every employee in your organisation. Using low-cost, scalable and easy deployable tools and methods, Enterprise Mentor brings people development to every corner of your company delivering transformational results, at a price point that few other learning approaches can match.

Although Enterprise Mentor is clearly about people, in an organisation people development often gets siloed into the HR or training departments. In reality though, getting the best from employees so they deliver the greatest experience for customers is the responsibility of every executive and manager. Therefore, Enterprise Mentor is for every department and every employee in a company including employees and managers in finance, sales, marketing, customer service, operations and admin.

With the scene set, let&rsquo;s now take a look at what makes up Enterprise Mentor. At its core are 20 digital mentoring sessions which your employees can listen to on their MP3 players, mobile phones or watch on a CD-Rom, through the internet, or via your Learning Management System. In the mentoring sessions employees learn essential business lessons focused around three core themes: customers, teams and personal leadership. These lessons have been created from the ground up for employees and managers, and are based on interviews with 50 award winning-business leaders and entrepreneurs.

The second part of Enterprise Mentor is face-to-face mentoring sessions between mentor and mentees. This is a critical element of Enterprise Mentor and is designed to get the best from your employees. Where other mentoring programmes bring in the help of expensive outside mentors, Enterprise Mentor gets your line-managers to become mentors to small groups of mentees, allowing you to leverage the investment you already make in your line-managers.

The third key element of Enterprise Mentor is the generation and capturing of new business growth ideas. These ideas can either be generated and captured through workbooks which mentees can write in, or through an online social media platform such as Yammer, Google Wave or a whole host of other Enterprise 2.0 collaboration tools.

In addition to these three core elements there are four extra components to Enterprise Mentor, these include summary sessions, presentations, mentees becoming mentors, and follow-on activities. You can read more about these extra elements at www.enterpriseleaders.com.

Now you know what the core tools of Enterprise Mentor are, let me give you a quick example of how it works in an organisation. To do this, let&rsquo;s take the example of Sarah. Sarah manages a small team of five people at Amroze Technology. In her team are Sally, George, Michelle, David and Amanda. The team is doing ok, but Sarah knows that they can perform at a higher level, and she wants to get her entire team focused on the business and help them see the company through her eyes, and the eyes of her senior management team. With the help of Enterprise Mentor, she takes her small team  on an engaging, enjoyable and inspirational journey of personal, professional and business development.

Each member of Sarah&rsquo;s team is given a copy of Enterprise Mentor&rsquo;s 20 digital mentoring sessions. Sally receives the programme in MP3 format and listens to it on her mobile phone. George accesses the multi-media version of Enterprise mentor through his computer, Michelle listens to the programme on her MP3 player, David through the companies Learning Management System and Amanda receives a CD-Rom. Sarah as the mentor chooses to use her mobile phone to listen to the digital mentoring sessions. It&rsquo;s important that each person can access the digital mentoring sessions at a time and place which suits them - and in a learning format which best fits their learning style.

Each of the mentees study one or two of the mentoring sessions a week, some mentees study them at work, some at home and some on the move. The 20 digital mentoring sessions includes subjects such as &quot;how to increase the life-time value of a customer, how to get more word of mouth referral customers, why all employees must see themselves as a sales person - as well as team development subjects such as motivation and communication and a whole host of personal leadership tools which get the very best from each mentee.

As part of each digital mentoring session, each mentee is asked to complete a series of written exercises which are made available to them through workbooks or online. During these sessions mentees are asked what suggestions and ideas they would put forward if they were CEO for a day. 

For Sarah, this means that from her group of just five employees, each session generates 25 new business growth, profit improvement, cost saving, and new product innovation ideas. Ideas which were already in the workforce, but with the help of the digital and face-to-face mentoring sessions have been identified, captured and discussed. 

Every Friday at 3pm Sarah brings her whole team of mentees together in a room where they discuss what they&rsquo;ve learnt from the mentoring sessions, the ideas they have generated and what they can apply from the programme back into their work. Because each mentee has already studied the same material during the week and completed the written exercises, they are full of ideas on how to use the learning, and new ideas for the benefit of their company. These mentor sessions also give Sarah chance to see a different side of her team, and understand the different talents of each team member.

In Sarah&rsquo;s company, Amroze Technology, they have decided to implement Google Wave, a social media platform where each idea the mentees suggest can be made available so the whole organisation can comment on and add value to those ideas. For more information about using Enterprise Mentor with Social Media platforms, watch our presentation at www.enterpriseleaders.com.

Throughout Amroze Technology, other mentor groups are springing up as line-managers lead their teams through the Enterprise Mentor programme generating literally thousands of new business growth ideas which are captured in a central social media platform. 

The results which Amroze Technology have seen from implementing Enterprise Mentoring have been transformational. Employees have become more energised, engaged,  motivated and creative. Customers now get a much greater experience, as every employee in the company, whether they are customer facing or not have become more attentive, and take more ownership and responsibility for making customers want to repeat buy and recommend Amroze. Employees have become more creative too, as they have identified literally thousands of new business growth, cost saving and product improvement ideas.

Enterprise Mentoring works where other learning interventions fail because the learning takes place in the work environment under the direction of line-managers. By putting employee development in the hands of your line-managers and giving them the tools to become better man-managers, mentors and leaders, means that the learning from the mentoring sessions gets implemented, as line-managers are fully involved in the development experience and have close responsibility for its outcome.

Enterprise Mentoring also creates a tighter bond between your employee and managers - something that doesn&rsquo;t necessarily happen in traditional employee development and learning programmes. This tighter bond is created because mentors and mentees embark on their mentoring journey together, and mentors get to know more about the teams they manage. Mentees also get to learn more about their mentor - and they start to see business through their eyes.

One of the other key benefits of Enterprise Mentoring is from a financial perspective. Enterprise Mentoring delivers a greater return on your payroll expense. In a company with around 100 employees, it&rsquo;s quite likely that your payroll expense could well be in the region of £3m per year or more, but by getting your line-managers to take a lead in your mentoring employees, you can get significantly higher levels of productivity and performance from your workforce, for a tiny extra financial investment in your people.

At it&rsquo;s heart Enterprise Mentor is a personal, professional and business development programme which focuses on three key areas of your organisation: 1: Creating more engaged, passionate and motivated employees, 2: Increasing revenues and profits by delivering higher levels of service for your customers so they want to repeat buy and recommend you, and 3: Creating a company which is innovative, creative and full of new business growth ideas.

As its name suggests, Enterprise Mentor is an enterprise-wide mentoring programme, and where traditionally mentoring is only for CEO and board level executives, Enterprise Mentor is for every employee in your organisation. Using low-cost, scalable and easy deployable tools and methods, Enterprise Mentor brings people development to every corner of your company delivering transformational results, at a price point that few other learning approaches can match.

Although Enterprise Mentor is clearly about people, in an organisation people development often gets siloed into the HR or training departments. In reality though, getting the best from employees so they deliver the greatest experience for customers is the responsibility of every executive and manager.

But first, let&rsquo; start by taking a quick look at Web 2.0 and how it fits in with Enterprise Mentoring. From 2004 and the emergence of Web 2.0, individuals and consumers around the world have found their voice as new technologies such as blogs, wikis and podcasts have led to more people publishing content, sharing ideas and being part of a wider conversation.

Social networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace and Linked-in have created communities, connections and relationships where none existed before. Sites such as youtube, flickr and twitter have allowed everybody to quickly and easily publish new content. 

Web 2.0 has changed the way businesses interact with customers forever. Companies now stand naked, as at the press of a button, customers can quickly and easily write about your company on a global scale, and either positvely or negatively recommend you.

Through blogs, review sites, and networking forums, were the world was silent before, or commentary and opinion was placed in the hands of a select few journalists and experts, now everybody, from the youngest teenager, to the oldest grandfather has been given a platform to share their thoughts, opinions and ideas. Web 2.0 has introduced a new set of behaviours which make us more collaborative, involved and participatory.

Inside a business the same principles of user generated content, idea sharing and collaboration has yet to really take off, although the framework and tools to achieve this is are in place. The decade starting 2010 will see a dramatic shift in the uptake of social media, idea sharing and collaboration within an organisation.

This subject of collaboration behind a companies firewall is referred to as Enterprise 2.0. One area which lends itself to Enterprise 2.0 and idea sharing is the area of identifying new business growth, cost saving and productivity improvement ideas. It&rsquo;s also an area that Enterprise Mentoring can help with too.

In years gone by, companies simply had a suggestion box where ideas could be posted either anonymously or named. However new technologies give companies the opportunity to profitably tap into the talent which lies within an organisation. That said, one of the inherent realities of Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 is that users have to be willing to contribute and add their new ideas, thoughts and content.

In web 2.0 this works well as individuals are fuelled by their own passion, for example formula 1. Many Formula 1 enthusiasts are happy to share their opinions in socials networking sites. Through their own volition, they comment on who will be the next driver at Ferrari, who they think will win the drivers championship, and they find themselves immersed in the finer details of F1. This level of passionate commitment is evident throughout the world of Web 2.0 as individuals share their thoughts on subjects as far ranging as abbsailing to zoology. Whatever sparks their passion they comment on and contribute to. Sadly though, this level of passionate contribution is not always present in companies.

However there is a way to tap into the talent of employees in an organisation and ignite their inner passion and imagination. That is through enterprise mentoring. Enterprise Mentoring is an approach which harnesses many Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 technology principles such as online collaboration and idea sharing, together with people development technologies such as mobile learning and e-learning.

Enterprise Mentoring gives employees the opportunity to receive world class personal, professional and business development through mentoring. Firstly employees receive 20 digital mentoring sessions, which can be accessed through employees MP3 players, mobile phones or through the internet. Secondly employees receive face-to-face mentoring sessions which take place in small mentor groups with a designated mentor.

During the course of the mentoring sessions, employees learn some of the best-of-the-best business thinking and also get to share their business growth, cost saving and productivity improvements ideas in a group format with their own mentor.

One of the hidden benefits of Enterprise Mentoring is that it gives employees permission and the opportunity to come forward with their ideas which can then be captured in an online idea management portal, where ideas can be shared and commented on and improved by other employees.

The idea management portal also gives CEOs and other senior executives the opportunity to login and see exactly what new ideas are being put forward by who, they can see who is adding more value to these ideas, and which ideas are being rated as the ones which will work the best.

Let&rsquo;s look at how this approach works with the example of Sally and George. Sally is a software developer at Amroze technology. Sally has recently started being mentored through an Enterprise Mentoring programme, and has access to 20 digital mentoring sessions through her mobile phone. She studies the mentoring sessions whilst travelling. George works in finance and is in the same mentoring group as sally, along with three other mentees. George receive the digital mentoring sessions through the internet and studies the mentoring sessions on his PC whilst he&rsquo;s at work.

Once Sally and George have completed two of the digital mentoring sessions, they get together with the other mentees and their line-manager who is acting as mentor. Collectively the group discuss all they have learnt in the mentoring sessions and explore new ways to apply their learning back to Amroze technology.

Early in the mentoring sessions, Sally and George look at how to increase the word of mouth recommendation of a customer, and together with the other mentees in their mentor group, they are able to put forward new ideas for the company to turn more customers into referral customers. As each employee came up with five ideas for that session, the group had over 20 new business growth ideas on how to grow the company through referral customers. By using Web 2.0 type technology, each employee can capture their ideas in a central idea management repository, where their fellow mentees can comment on their ideas and suggest improvements.

In addition to Sally and George&rsquo;s mentor groups, there are many other mentor groups in the company, who are also sharing their ideas. These ideas are available for Sally and George to comment on and contribute to in the same way George and Sally&rsquo;s ideas are available for others to comment on and add value to. The senior management team are able to review the new ideas and suggestions put forward by the employees in the company, the very employees who are closest to the customers and closest to the processes of the company.

Without the structure and momentum of the Enterprise Mentoring programme and the accountability the mentors place on mentees, the creativity which is seen in Web 2.0 communities, where individuals are driven by their own inner passion is seldom replicated in companies. But by creating a framework, structure and giving mentees full permission and encouragement to put forward their ideas, companies can quickly and easily tap into the talent and creativity which already exist in their employees. Idea generation is just one of the benefits of implementing an Enterprise Mentoring programme in your organisation.

But first, lets start by taking a quick look at Web 2.0 and how it fits in with enterprise mentoring. From 2004 and the emergence of Web 2.0 and new social media technologies, individuals and consumers around the world have found their voice as new technologies such as blogs, wikis and podcasts have led to more people publishing content, sharing ideas and being part of a wider conversation.
Social networking sites such as Facebook, Myspace and Linked-in have created communities, connections and relationships where none existed before. Sites such as youtube, flickr and twitter have allowed everybody to quickly and easily publish new content.
Web 2.0 has changed the way businesses interact with customers forever. Companies now stand naked, as at the press of a button, customers can quickly and easily write about your company on a global scale, and either positvely or negatively recommend you.
Through blogs, review sites, and networking forums, were the world was silent before, or commentary and opinion was placed in the hands of a select few journalists and experts, now everybody, from the youngest teenager, to the oldest grandfather has been given a platform to share their thoughts, opinions and ideas. Web 2.0 has introduced a new set of behaviours which make us more collaborative, involved and participatory.
Inside a business the same principles of user generated content, idea sharing and collaboration has yet to really take off, although the framework and tools to achieve this is in place. The decade starting 2010 will see a dramatic shift in the uptake of social media, idea sharing and collaboration within an organisation.
This area of collaboration behind a companies firewall is referred to as Enterprise 2.0. One area which lends itself to Enterprise 2.0 and idea sharing is the area of identifying new business growth, cost saving, productivity improvement ideas and new product and service ideas. It’s also an area that Enterprise Mentoring can help with too.
In years gone by, companies simply had a suggestion box where ideas could be posted either anonymously or named. However new technologies  give companies the opportunity to really tap into the talent which lies within an organisation. That said, one of the inherent realities of Web 2.0 and Enterprise 2.0 is that users have to be willing to contribute and add their new ideas, thoughts and content.
In web 2.0 this works well as individuals are fuelled by their own passion, for example formula 1. Many Formula 1 enthusiasts are happy to share their opinions in socials networking sites. Through their own volition, they comment on who will be the next driver at Ferrari, who they think will win the drivers championship, and they find themselves immersed in the finer details of F1. This level of passionate commitment is evident throughout the world of Web 2.0 as individuals share their thoughts on subjects as far ranging as absailing to zoology. Whatever sparks their passion they comment on and contribute to. Sadly thought, this level of passionate contribution is not always present in companies.
However there is a way to tap into the talent of employees in an organisation and ignite their inner passion. That is through enterprise mentoring. Enterprise Mentoring is an approach which harnesses many web 2.0 and enterprise 2.0 technology principles such as online collaboration and idea sharing, together with people development technologies such as mobile learning, e-learning, as well as the human interaction with face-to-face mentoring.
Enterprise Mentoring gives employees the opportunity to receive world class personal, professional and business development through mentoring. Firstly employees receive 20  digital mentoring sessions, which can be accessed online or through employees MP3 players or mobile phones. Secondly employees receive face-to-face mentoring sessions which take place in small mentor groups with a designated mentor.
During the course of the mentoring sessions, employees learn some of the best-of-the-best business thinking and also get to share their business growth, cost saving and productivity improvements ideas in a group format with their own mentor.
One of the hidden benefits of enterprise mentoring is that it gives employees permission and the opportunity to come forward with their ideas which can be captured in an online idea management portal where ideas can be written down, capture, share and commented on and improved by other employees.
The idea management portal also gives CEOs and other senior executives the opportunity to login and see exactly what new ideas are being put forward by who, the can see who is adding more value to these ideas, and which ideas are being rated as the ones which will work the best.
Lets look at how this approach works with the example of Sally and George. Sally is a software developer at Amroze technology. Sally has recently started being mentored through an enterprise mentoring programme, and has access to 20 digital mentoring programmes through her mobile phone. She studies the mentoring sessions whilst travelling. George works in finance and is in the same mentoring group as sally, along with three other mentees. George receive the digital mentoring sessions through the internet and studies the mentoring sessions on his PC whilst he’s at work.
Once Sally and George have completed two of the digital mentoring sessions, they get together with the other mentees and line-manager who is acting a mentor. Collectively the group discuss all they have learnt in the mentoring sessions and explore new ways to apply their learning back to Amroze technology.
Early in the mentoring sessions, Sally and George look at how to increase the word of mouth recommendation of a customer, and together with the other mentees in their mentor group, they are able to put forward new ideas for the company to turn more customers into referral customers. As each employees came up with five ideas for that session, the group had over 20 new ideas on how to grow the business. By using Web 2.0 type technology, each employee can capture their ideas in a central idea management repository, where their fellow mentees can comment on their ideas, suggest improvements.
In addition to Sally and George’s mentor groups, there are many other mentor groups in the company, who are also sharing their ideas. These are available for Sally and George to comment on and contribute to in the same way George and Sally’s ideas are available for others to comment on and add value to. The senior management team are able to review the new ideas and suggestions put forward by the employees in the company, the very employees who are closest to the customers and closest to the processes of the company.
Without the structure and momentum of the enterprise mentoring programme and the accountability the mentors place on mentees, the creativity which is seen in Web 2.0 communities where individuals are driven by their own passion is seldom replicated in companies. But by creating a framework, structure and giving mentees full permission and encouragement to put forward their ideas, companies can quickly and easily tap into the talent and creativity which already exist in their employees. Idea generation is just one of the benefits of implementing an Enterprise Mentoring programme in your organisation.
