As independent consultants ourselves, Columbus Consulting, Inc. recognizes that one of our biggest challenges to growing our business is finding and networking with the tremendous pool of other talented, experienced and resourceful independent retail consultants.

We established the Columbus Consulting Network (CCN) to address this opportunity and challenge. The Columbus Consulting Network is the new home and resource for independent retail consultants to share their information, network and drive new business.

The benefit for CCN members is the availability of the search engine that will enable you to find and link with other members with the skills you need as independent retail consultants to support your project opportunities and drive new business. 

In this initial phase CCN includes:

·         An online resume entry capability for Members

·         A repository of Member information including

o   General - name, address, contact information

o   Job history – company, position, duties

o   Knowledge, Abilities, Skills

o   Functional expertise – P&A, Supply Chain, etc.

o   Technical expertise – Arthur EP, JDA MMS, etc.

o   Performance level – PM, Business Analyst

o   Education and Certification(s)

o   Availability

·         A search engine

o   Ability to inquire into the database of members and filter based on a variety of criteria such as location, skills, level, business experience, etc.

o   Ability to continue to narrow selections

o   Display of contact information

 

In the future, we're looking to add additional powerful resources and services to support our Members.

Best of all, membership in CCN is free.
