Lay of the Land
The Unique Ingredients In Our Recipe For Success
Written by Colleen Nestor, Signium International Executive Director
Have you ever worked with professionals (of any kind) from a large conglomerate, and they gave you the distinct impression that they were rushing to finish your project so that they could move on to bigger and better projects and make their quota? Conversely, have you ever worked with professionals from a small local shop that just didn’t understand your needs at a higher level?
One of the reasons I enjoy working with Signium professionals so much is because they do not fit in either of the categories above. Signium’s partners are consummate entrepreneurs. They are passionate about their work; they set their own priorities; and they value client satisfaction above all. However, one of the great challenges for entrepreneurs, especially those working at the top levels of business, is to stay connected to the global business community at large. Signium partners belong to our shareholder network to connect with the international community, to share best practices across the industry and to collaborate on global projects and initiatives.
Over the last year, Signium partners have made it a priority to communicate regularly through industry sector specific Practice Groups, as well as regional meetings and global meetings. Our practice groups communicate monthly from all corners of the world to discuss industry trends and clients needs. Through this collaboration, our partners have helped their clients expand into new countries with the comfort of knowing that the best leaders would be recruited by Signium professionals to grow their new ventures. The international collaboration has been so successful at the partner level, that it has spread to all levels of Signium, and now our research associates are also gaining invaluable knowledge and perspective from sharing with their peers around the world.
The ingredients for Signium’s success include entrepreneurial spirit, international connection, integrity, supportive community, and a dash of fun. Our unique structure and the blend of our qualities continue to provide new business opportunities which contribute to making us a stronger and more vibrant firm. •
