Why, what and how? Networking is cooperation based on trust and reciprocity and it takes place between individuals, groups and organisations. Networks are needed when we seek to develop something new, work more flexibly and respond to various actors’ needs comprehensively. In this webinar Timo Järvensivu discusses some of the key questions of managing (in) networks: What is the basis for vibrant networking? What types of networks exist? What kind of leadership is needed? What are the required practical steps? D.Sc. (Econ.)

Järvensivu earned his D.Sc. degree in 2007 from the Helsinki School of Economics (now Aalto University School of Business) for research on strategic business networks. He has since studied, consulted and trained dozens of public and third sector networks. Järvensivu is also the author of the research-based and practice-oriented book “Managing (in) Networks – Learning, Working and Leading Together” (2020, also available in Finnish: www.verkostojenjohtaminen.fi).
