Information about Chief Networking Officer

The Chief networking officer (CNO) is a business networking position in a company or other organization. The position is not related to the eponymous technical executive position in the computer industry.

In the business networking context, a Chief networking officer manages the social capital of a company. He connects people and businesses within the company, with other companies, as well as with consumers, hence facilitating know-how transfer and information flow, fostering innovation, safeguarding diversity, and allowing for profits to grow.[1]. Chief networking officers are responsible for the creation and cultivation of new communities and the acquisition of already existing communities.[2]. Other definitions include, such as the one by the Wharton Global Business Forum in India, include managing outreach, communication and logistics, usually in partnership with the Chief operating officer. "[3]

As the CNO position builds on soft skills often inherent to woman, it can advance women’s careers in areas such as public policy and large-scale business development.[4]. Although the position has been around since 2004, there is an ongoing academic debate related to the issue of CNOs in modern business.

Notes and references

CNO - Chief Netowrking Officer is the corporate business networks portfolio manager. Along with his/her team, the Chief Networking Officer will centrally manage the business networks environment. He/she will solve eventual conflict matters and will compromise the mutual best interests. The CNO is a direct contact, although not primary, and will always be ready to assume the management of any partnership with any stakeholder during the primary network manager absence. This professional maps out and organizes all resources available inside the network, i.e., contacts, experiences, success stories, knowledge, competences and business opportunities. Finally, he/she sets up long-term partnerships with fair and well-defined mutually beneficial gains with each stakeholder inside all business networks.

The CNO is a serving leader. He/she worries about the self-development of each member of the internal network qualifying them to reach the agreed goals. The leadership is not imposed but conquered. The CNO can only directly impacts the employees network. All others are outside his/her direct control but not outside his/her area of influence. For this reason, I consider the CNO, the future leader. He/she achieves the recognition of all peers from various and different networks that surrounds his/her community-enterprise creating a strong interdependence among all parties and solid synergy with the whole. The CNO is the business networks portfolio strategist and architect acting as a coach and trainer during the soft implementation of related project during the transition from existing and traditional model towards virtual agile global networking enterprise one at both internal and external levels. In order to achieve full success in the implementation of this project, the CNO must have wide transit among all departments.

The CNO´s job description could be summarized as a higher value and moral code strategic thinker. One who owns an unshakeable credibility in the market. A moved-by-challenges professional, who is extremely skillful in order to manage partnerships. It is also essential that this person possess a clear and objective communication capacity in order to guide people development around. This executive must be very creative and participative aiming to harmonize all different interests, expectations and needs among networks. In order to do so, negotiation experience and deep knowledge about own company are relevant key differentiation points besides having wide knowledge of the marketpladce and being absolutely focused on organization´s core business. Finally, good understanding of coaching methodology is very useful in order to manage people, in general.
