The Networking Effect (TNE) is an all-in-one e-tool that supports connectivity and the building of business relationships. It letsx000D
individuals and organizations build, increase and manage their business network quickly and easily. More than just a database ofx000D
business cards, TNEs goal is to go beyond services such as LinkedIn with a much stronger focus on business (and evenx000D
personal) interests and goals. TNE members can intelligently search for other members based on their current goals, helpingx000D
people find others with convergent, but not necessarily similar objectives.x000D
The TNE platform currently exists as an online web-based tool and as a mobile app. It has the ability to connect professionals andx000D
to build a directory within existing organizational websites. It allows members to find matches by doing conventional searches onx000D
member profiles and key words (such as name, industry or company). What it lacks is a robust search capability and the ability tox000D
make intelligent recommendations about which professionals you should connect with, and when. Through this collaborativex000D
applied research project, TNE will engage with Seneca College researchers to develop an advanced search functionality to bex000D
integrated into the TNE proprietary platform. Ultimately, this will add intelligence to the search capability of the existing TNEx000D
platform to drive better connections, something that will significantly differentiate it from other platforms on the market.
