Business Strategies - What is a NEDworker

What is a NEDworker

A NEDworker is a senior, experienced independent business executive who works closely with an SME Managing Director either as a Non-Executive Director or a Consultant operating at Director and strategic level on very much a part-time basis. The definition includes categories of Executives known as "Critical Friend", "Close Advisor", Mentor or, sometimes, Coach . The role does not include any routine line or staff management responsibilities but will include some one-off senior projects which the CEO deems best do-able at CEO level.

What SMEs need...

Many SME businesses – principally owner-managed organisations – need a particular and special type of independent support. They need a professional, an outsider free from internal politics, someone they trust and can confide in, who has technical and/or trade knowledge and experience beyond that which currently exists in the organisation and who can work with the company on a continuing part-time, but certainly never full-time, basis.
