EPN: EPNConnect Overview

Home > EPN > EPNConnect

What Is It?
	While all senior executives have their own offline networks of contacts, EPNConnect complements those networks by enabling exchanges between Corporate Executive Board members that are direct, unbiased and efficient (e.g., no need for lunch or small talk). EPNConnect provides a highly secure, searchable database containing the profiles of tens of thousands of the world's most successful executives, and a privacy-protecting process by which members can request sound advice from the executive best able to provide it. There are no intermediaries involved and all participants have agreed in advance to accept each others' authorized messages.
What Is It Not?
	EPNConnect definitely does not constitute yet another social network. EPN policy strictly forbids spam messages, job solicitations, sales pitches, awkward requests for introductions, headaches, wastes of time or improper information exchanges. We reserve the right to filter communications through the service that violate EPNConnect policy and to discontinue the EPNConnect access membership of anyone violating the EPNConnect terms of use.
How Does It Work?
	At any time, a member needing peer advice can use the service to identify the executives best able to provide sound advice. Then—using the EPN platform—the member can send that executive an e-mail-based request to communicate. Members who receive requests for advice are asked to reply within 48 hours.
