Services

Konnect seeks to address the gap between the short term, immediate insights available in mass media and the longer, but often obsolescent, insights produced by consultancy firms and economic think tanks.

Konnect believes actionable insights should be available at the pace demanded by the 21st century economy, informed by a strong research and intellectual rigour.

Konnect provides a range of services:

Insights

Our researchers and writers produce regular analysis on key business and technology trends, shaped by their independent mindset. These reports are authored by writers with extensive experience of the sectors on which they write. These insights come in various formats and are aimed at providing clients with actionable information relevant to todays economy and markets.

Content

Konnect creates bespoke, specialist content for organisations of all types and across all formats, from podcasts to webinars and white papers. This content is produced in close liaison with client firms and is based on matching up the client with a specialist writer who has an understanding of the client perspective and industry.

Training

Konnect can help support executives and managers to speak authoritatively and communicate about current trends in technology and business. Whether preparing a blockchain presentation or talking about the end of globalisation, our team of experts can liaise with the client to meet their needs, aiding their preparation to speak at an event or putting together a corporate or Board presentation, we are there to assist and guide.

Events

Konnect develops events that address the leading business and technology trends of our age from multiple perspectives and across multiple formats. From an in-person event at an office location, to a webinar, Konnect supplies the expert speakers and moderators who can provide unique perspectives on the business and technology themes of our age.
