>eXpertist.net< was privately initiated by Mr. Bernd
Bieber and Partners. We are an
internet service provider, who merely provides the technical prerequisites to
operate >eXpertist.net<
with the objectives described beneath. We target to offer this service in the
long run on a cost-covering base, but as long as this service yields losses,
we see no necessity to register as a non-profit-organization. |

The
objective of >eXpertist.net< is to facilitate a public and interdisciplinary
network of experts on sustainable development and international cooperation,
who are prepared to share their knowledge with others, irrespectively if they
offer their expertise voluntarily or commercially, if they work as freelancer
or as a member of an expert team (e.g. consultancy firms), if they offer
expert service or purchase it (project investors or donors). It enables these experts to become a
member of the network, by presenting their professional profile and/or
detecting other member experts as qualified counterparts for various kinds of
cooperation, e.g.: for
compiling a project crew, This
initiative is global and public, and targets at all qualified experts on all
professional domains of sustainable development and international
cooperation. We invite these experts to join >eXpertist.net<, In our view, the participation in such a
virtual networks offers unique opportunities to establish new cooperation
patterns and to increase the competitiveness of all network partners. |
|
>eXpertist.net< prerequisites for a successful
participation |
|
The
success of >eXpertist.net< depends on: (1)
fast and inexpensive access on, (2)
comprehensible and easy assessable professional profiles (3)
good reputation and high popularity amongst its users To
minimize its operational costs >eXpertist.net< provides only the online platform for a
self administered and self promoted joint use, i.e. members have either to
enter their qualification profiles
and/or to search for other network members themselves. Thus
>eXpertist.net< expects from its members accurate and
comprehensive data entries. Not only
for the members own benefit, but for the network's reputation as a whole. To safeguard this reputation >eXpertist.net< deletes profiles, which do not
accomplish its standards of expressiveness and comprehensibility. It does not
judge the qualification itself, but its presentation within the profile. |
|
|
|
>eXpertist.net< deploys a rather sophisticated database
which speeds up the detection and the professional assessment of the experts,
but which requires an equally sophisticated data entry, which is certainly more
elaborate and time consuming than just sending a standard resume. Thus plan at least one hour for your
enrolment. For
better understanding, click the “Sample expert” link on the left site of our
homepage. To view the different index
cards, click on the respective links on top. To quickly assess his
qualification "summarize and sort" his jobs by different criteria
listed in the pull down menu. You
will understand how to enter your data and how your profile will be displayed
to potential employers. After
data entry, search yourself, by clicking the “start expert search” link and
following the case sensitive instructions on the left side of your screen. |
|
A
further factor of success is the popularity in the community of sustainability
and cooperation experts. For cost
saving reasons we restrain from expensive market promotion activities. Thus
the success of >eXpertist.net< and of each individual member highly depends
on its members' own promotion activities.
Thus if you know anyone else who might benefit from this service start
networking now and inform them with a click on our "recommendation page" http://www.expertist.net/mail/surftip.asp S/he
will certainly thank you occasionally with a beneficial information in return. |

As
freelanced expert you have proven knowledge in your area of specialisation,
however, despite considerable amounts of time and money being spent on acquiring
business, you are dissatisfied with your level of employment and income. You
are in good company: since freelance experts incur great losses due to the
broad coverage of their services, a high proportion of their efforts is
directed at acquiring orders. Up to now, there has been no placement medium,
which has paid equal attention to the needs of highly specialised experts and
their employers. |
|
This
is why we have started >eXpertist.net<,
a virtual market aimed at placing experts within organisations and companies
with a project related need for staff for a limited period of time. |
|
|
|
>eXpertist.net<, a specialist network of experts, will
give you efficient support with your acquisition of orders and will offer you
the following advantages: |
|
o
You will receive a permanent and reasonably
priced acquisition medium for the global presentation of your services. |
|
o
As you manage your data yourself, your
profile of services and contact data will always be up-to-date. |
|
o
Your detailed profile of qualifications will
clearly describe your areas of technical specialisation and will hence distinguish
you from your competitors and provide you with an important competitive edge. |
|
o
Via the search function of the >eXpertist.net<, you may network with other experts and
within interdisciplinary teams. You may handle complex issues within a
limited time scale. |
|
o
Your profile will remain active even
following a placement and you will therefore still be available for your next
assignment. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
your capacity as a project manager, you have varied and changing requirements
for qualified experts. Experts with an adequate level of project specialisation
and their timely availability determine your project success. Your
fluctuating order book makes it more difficult for you to employ and fully
utilise permanent staff. However, your company will only operate profitably,
if your staff costs are covered. |
|
For
projects with varying demands, you supplement your permanent employees with
short-term experts who specialise in areas related to your projects. You
ensure full utilisation of your permanent staff by obtaining orders, which
make adequate use of their qualifications. |
|
Acquiring
orders and searching for external specialists for project assignments are
important aspects of your project management tasks. Both of them are time and
cost intensive and entail high losses due to their broad coverage. |
|
>eXpertist.net<, a specialist network of experts
capable of supporting you with your future staff search as well as with the
acquisition of projects. |
|
|
|
|
|
Your
advantages: |
|
o
The multilingual and globally accessible experts
offered by us will provide you with global recruitment opportunities. Consequently,
your competitiveness will improve as you will fill vacancies more
efficiently and with better qualified staff. |
|
o
The anonymous presentation of your employees’
qualification profiles will demonstrate to potential order givers the range
of services offered by your company. This facility will provide you with a publicly,
permanently, constantly and globally accessible and reasonably priced medium
for order acquisition. |
|
o
>eXpertist.net< will facilitate the networking of
individual experts or firms into interdisciplinary teams for the handling
of complex projects. In co-operation with their network partners, in particular
with complex and international projects, medium-sized companies will increase
their chances of success when compared with multinational consultancy groups. |
|
o
There will be no need to create and manage
expensive and mostly antiquated internal lists of experts. You will have reasonably priced and fast
access to a global and up-to-date network of experts and you will
considerably improve your staff search efficiency. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your
projects comprise technical, economic, socio-cultural, regional and
ecological components. However, they differ vastly from each other in terms
of issues and proposed solutions. You
expect comprehensive solutions, whilst adequately and thoroughly taking into
account all project components. Jacks
of all trades will hardly suffice to meet this demand. Competent experts are
difficult to find. |
|
|
|
Due
to the multitude of experts and their numerous and constantly changing
qualifications, their changing placement locations and availability, the
expert market is very inscrutable. Internal databases within organisations
attempting to keep abreast with these dynamic market conditions will require
a tremendous effort on your part as well as from experts. Such information is quickly out of date
and will be of little use when you wish to cover short-term vacancies. |
|
|
|
You
therefore still provide potential suppliers with detailed job descriptions
asking them for quotations. You then receive offers from suppliers, which by
and large match your requirements. The wording of expert profiles put forward
by dubious parties will reflect your requirements and to a lesser degree,
actual expert qualifications. You therefore need a great deal of time to
verify such offers. Despite the
lengthy decision process and high level of expenditure, your decision and the
project success will still be subject to considerable risks. |
|
We
strive for more transparency in the expert market and help you to find the
most adequate expert of our network. |
|
>eXpertist.net< displays detailed and objective
qualification profiles entered and updated by the experts themselves,
together with information on availability and current contact data and provides
names and projects for reference purposes.
With just a few mouse clicks, you will find expert profiles who really
match your requirements. Only the
identity of the profile holder will be invoiced. This will save you time and
money and reduce the risk of a mismatched placement. |
|
|
|
>eXpertist.net< for net workers >eXpertist.net< is more than just a source for regular
job candidates. Equally it is the initial point to start a global
peer-to-peer network of knowledge exchange. Due to the easy and inexpensive
online access on permanently stored and updated professional profiles >eXpertist.net<
is used as directory to quickly find suitable experts even for minor assignments
e.g. as speaker, workshop participant, informant on location, or for an
informal exchange by phone. Though
this initial co-operation might not capitalize immediate or substantial
benefit for the informant, it certainly results in valuable contacts and
unexpected professional opportunities. Thus
entering and updating your profile will be worthwhile, even if you are
currently not looking for a job or an assignment. Restrict your timely
availability to a few days to avoid long-term job offers. |
|
|
|
>eXpertist.net< is a communication tool enabling the
exchange of services between experts and their potential employers. |
|
|
|
o
by means of a systematic collection of expert
profiles based on previous work experience to date as well as an indication
of available work capacity and |
|
|
|
o
by means of
research carried out within those profiles taking into account
qualification requirements, financial limits and time horizon. |
|
|
|
Qualification
and requirement profiles are compared with each other, and suitable and
available experts are found within just a few mouse clicks. Their anonymous qualification profiles may
be viewed free of charge and without any obligation. Only the disclosure of the experts
identity and address details is subject to a fee. The payment is made within
seconds online by credit card via the safe SSL-method. |
|
Data
entry as well as the adjustment of qualification profiles and job
specification take place via a permanently interactive database enquiry. This method considerably facilitates and
accelerates the search process. The
connection between yourself and our server is maintained via “cookies”. It will therefore be necessary for your
browser to be set to “cookies” permitted. |

|
Protection fee for a full profile display
|
|
The
search within the anonym professional profiles is of no charge. The identification
of the most adequate experts will merely take up a few minutes. The immediate
display of the experts' complete data requires a PayPal account to conduct
the online payment of a protection fee of 10 €. per expert profile to prevent
the abuse of the data |
|

|
|
Individual
solutions are unique and innovative. Innovations are born out of an
unorthodox synthesis of heterogeneous knowledge. The stronger the knowledge specialisation, the higher the level
of problem solutions. However, the ability to generate comprehensive
solutions decreases with the level of specialisation and increases with the
breadth of the range of knowledge. |
|
The
development of exclusive knowledge is time and cost intensive. Sound knowledge is only acquired after a
long and intensive study of a particular field of knowledge. The lifespan of knowledge is becoming
increasingly shorter. Advanced
knowledge of today will be out of date tomorrow. A substantial lead in all areas of knowledge may only be
achieved and maintained at a great cost. From an economic point of view, a
comprehensive and significant lead in knowledge is barely feasible. Only a focused service offer will present
an opportunity for realising a recognisable lead in knowledge. |
|
|
|
In
isolation, however, this is no guarantee for market success, since
comprehensive solutions can hardly be expected from such a narrow approach.
Comprehensive solutions equally take into account all aspects of a problem
and require an involvement of all service components relevant to an
issue. Such a bundling of services
can hardly be achieved by a single expert. |
|
The
required breadth of knowledge will be ensured through informal alliances
created for a particular project and dissolved thereafter. |
|
If
large groups of companies have recognised the concentration on core
competences and co-operation as an efficient and flexible corporate
structure, then networking among smaller companies will be an even greater
necessity for improving their efficiency and competitiveness. |
|
The
development of expert knowledge therefore improves competitiveness, provided it
is possible to combine complementary fields of knowledge into individual
service bundles. The ability to
initiate and control project specific co-operation deals therefore becomes a
new and independent key competence of companies and organisations. More and more frequently, corporate
alliances now offer a complete range of services. |
|
|
|
|
|
>eXpertist.net< intends to support such co-operation
teams by providing a global market presence for highly specialised experts
and those demanding such knowledge. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>eXpertist.net< as
a success factor for a sustainable competitive edge |
|
|
|
Within
your current narrow market environment, you offer a broad range of services,
hardly distinguishable from your competitors’ services. Competition is therefore determined via
dumping prices. Concentrating on a
specialised range of services would therefore be uneconomical, as there is
insufficient demand within your current market place. |
|
|
|
>eXpertist.net< will provide you with a global market
presence because it does not position you as a single company website or
expert homepage among many others, but it creates an international forum and
market place for experts. Even highly
specialised services will receive attention and customers in this global
market. |
|
|
|
By
means of a proven qualification profile, >eXpertist.net< will enable you to differentiate yourself
from your competitors and to present your specialist areas of work globally to
a multitude of potential customers. Increased orders within your core area of
competence will enable you further to intensify your expert knowledge. This
will in turn justify higher fees, increase motivation and job satisfaction
and secure your supra-regional competitiveness. |
|
|
|
>eXpertist.net< – virtual project teams with networking
experts |
|
|
|
You
will handle interdisciplinary projects with other expertist participants
focusing on complementary project aspects. Together with other participants,
you will create a team of experts meeting project specific requirements “just
in time” on a short-term basis. Many all-round competitors will become sought
after and specialist cooperator. Under efficient management, such flexible
expert teams will guarantee a higher degree of project success whilst using resources
more economically. With >eXpertist.net<, participants may co-ordinate in the
same way as they might within a company. |
|
|
|
Why
not develop “project management with virtual network teams” into your latest
core competence? It will increase
your competitive strength. The value
of networks increases exponentially with the number of users. The more units
are networked, the greater the value of each unit (Metcalfes’ law). Why not combine the opportunities of
modern communication with your competence and experience. Increase your “value” and join the >eXpertist.net< . |
