Referrals from Corporate Executives through GDI Solutions

This table illustrates situations in which corporate executives are encouraged to suggest referrals to GDI Solutions among their contacts in any of the three networks. 

The links (subtitles) explain the suggested process for making such referrals.

See also the further explanations in the highlights section:

To Professional Service Providers

Example: You may be willing to share feedback about "proven solutions" or "lessons learned" as a general process to support other executives like yourself.  There may also be situations in which you are willing to share experiences on a more selective or direct basis, as in response to an executive who we know is facing similar decisions, such as to support the choice of professional service providers for a particular type of project.

In such situations, referrals to service providers who are known from direct experience to be well qualified (or not!) for a specific requirement enables us to help executives to quickly identify relevant service providers and perhaps share ideas about how to work with the specialists most advantageously.

As we become more familiar with the experiences of executives with service providers, we can obviously be more helpful when making referrals.  We therefore welcome feedback about both good and bad experiences.

To Corporate Executives

Example: You may be aware of other executives, whether within your own organization or other companies, who could benefit from the support services of GDI Solutions and our networks of contacts. 

Referrals can obviously make it much easier for us to reach the right executives at the right time to support their decisions.  Your internal networks within your company, and professional networks within your industry or specialty, can complement our own efforts to identify and support executives who are responsible for direct investment project decisions.

As more executives participate, the potential benefit of shared knowledge grows.  It can be very hard to identify and develop all the "right" relationships from outside a company, so we value any referrals which can help to point us in the right direction or facilitate introductions.

To Area Representatives

Example: The same principle applies as for service providers.  Whether you are willing to share your own direct experience and suggested contacts in general (lessons learned, proven solutions, etc.), or in response to specific enquiries from similar executives, we value input from executives about good or bad experiences with area representatives.

The good experiences can help us to assist other executives, as well as to share "best practices" as appropriate among other areas.  The bad experiences can also be helpful, not only to help other executives to avoid the same problems, but also to help other area representatives to improve.

For area representatives to sustain and improve the support services which they offer, they need feedback about their performance.  Our independent role can provide a useful channel for such feedback, whether your referral or insights are "on the record" or anonymous.  Even if we can't share your specific feedback, it may be useful knowledge to help guide our work.
