THE AXIOM LEADERS CIRCLE GLOBAL NETWORK™

The Global Business Solutions Network

Business problems rarely exist in isolation. Revenue, margins, operations, people, strategy, leadership, and execution can all demand attention at the same time. The challenge is determining what is governing performance and what should be addressed first.

The SAI Business Constraint Discipline™ provides a systematic sequence for doing that:

IDENTIFY · PRIORITIZE · RESOLVE · CONFIRM

The Axiom Leaders Circle Global Network™ extends that idea into a worldwide professional and business network—helping business owners, executives, advisors, consultants, specialists, companies, and other organizations find expertise, locate capabilities, make cross-connections, and identify people or resources that may be able to help when additional capabilities are needed.

The Global Network is being built to connect business owners, executives, advisors, consultants, educators, specialists, service providers, companies, and other professionals across geographic, professional, industry, and national boundaries.

What The Global Network Is Designed to Do

The Global Network creates practical connections between people and organizations that have business problems or needs and people, companies, resources, and capabilities that may be relevant to addressing them.

For members of The Axiom Leaders Circle™, it can create greater professional visibility, access to expertise, cross-connections, collaboration opportunities, referral relationships, advisory and consulting opportunities, employment possibilities, business resources, and connections to capabilities they do not personally possess.

For business owners, executives, employers, and organizations outside The Circle, it creates another place to look when they need professional expertise, specialized services, business resources, operating capabilities, or other forms of assistance.

Members Can Be Found. Companies Can Be Found. Visitors Can Find Help.

Individuals who want a professional profile or other individual participation through the Global Network begin with membership in The Axiom Leaders Circle™.

Companies, resource providers, and other organizations may be subject to separate Network eligibility requirements as applicable.

Visitors do not need to be Circle members to search participating professionals or companies, make contact, or seek assistance.

Need Help With a Business Problem?

You Do Not Have to Join The Circle to Search for Assistance

Some people will arrive at Schneider Axiom Institute because something in the business is not working as well as it should.

They may be dealing with declining revenue, margin pressure, operational problems, weak execution, leadership issues, organizational difficulty, succession concerns, technology needs, financial strain, sourcing problems, supply-chain challenges, international shipping problems, or another business condition requiring attention.

They may not be ready to complete the Business Constraint Diagnostic™. They may not want to enroll in an SAI credential program.

They may simply need to find someone—or some company—with relevant experience or capabilities that may be able to help.

The Global Network gives them another place to begin.

As the Network develops, visitors will be able to search participating professionals and organizations by factors such as professional role, areas of specialty, services or capabilities, market segments served, industry experience, geographic reach, engagement interests, and applicable SAI credentials.

The visitor then decides whether a participating professional or company appears relevant and whether to make contact.

No Diagnostic Purchase Is Required to Search for Assistance.

No SAI Course or Credential Is Required to Seek Assistance.

No Circle Membership Is Required to Search the Network.

The participants themselves determine whether they want to work together.

If You Need Help, The Global Business Solutions Network Gives You Another Place to Begin Looking.

What The Global Network Can Help Members Do

Find Expertise. Find Capabilities. Increase Visibility. Make Connections. Create Opportunities.

The value of the Global Network extends well beyond simply having a professional listing.

Members may be able to use the Network to:

• Find expertise they do not personally have
• Be found for expertise they do have
• Locate companies and specialized service providers
• Make professional and business cross-connections
• Create additional advisory and consulting opportunities
• Identify potential collaborators
• Develop referral relationships
• Expand what they can bring to clients
• Find resources or capabilities outside their own organizations
• Extend their geographic and international reach
• Offer eligible professional or business resources
• Discover employment, project, board, and other professional opportunities
• Develop relationships across industries, professions, markets, and countries

As professional, organizational, geographic, and industry diversity grows, so can the usefulness of the Network.

One Professional Community. More Ways to Help, Connect, and Create Opportunity.

The Power of The Global Business Solutions Network

No business owner, executive, advisor, consultant, educator, attorney, CPA, specialist, or other professional knows everything a business may eventually need.

No company possesses every capability internally.

A business situation that begins as a financial concern may require operational expertise.

A succession issue may involve legal, financial, organizational, leadership, and family considerations.

A growth problem may require capabilities in strategy, operations, sales, finance, technology, organizational development, manufacturing, distribution, or market expansion.

A company facing an international shipping, sourcing, customs, manufacturing, or distribution problem may need capabilities that exist well outside its current professional or geographic network.

A company entering another country may need local market knowledge, regulatory familiarity, sourcing relationships, logistics capabilities, or professional expertise its existing advisors do not possess.

A client need may extend well beyond the expertise of the professional who first recognizes it.

The value of a multidisciplinary global network is not that every member can solve every problem.

It is that members have a broader place to look when additional expertise, capabilities, resources, or relationships are needed.

The Value of the Network Is Not That Every Member Knows Everything.

It Is Knowing Where to Look When You Need Expertise You Do Not Have.

Why Membership in The Axiom Leaders Circle™ Comes First

The Global Network grows out of The Axiom Leaders Circle™.

The Circle is the professional community.

The Global Network extends the reach and practical possibilities of that community.

Every Circle member begins with a shared diagnostic experience through completion of the Business Constraint Diagnostic™. Members may come from different professions, industries, geographic markets, countries, cultures, and levels of experience, but they enter the community with exposure to a common diagnostic starting point.

The Circle remains the place for professional exchange, inquiry, learning, contribution, respectful challenge, and relationship development.

The Global Network extends those relationships outward—helping members make their capabilities visible, find complementary expertise, locate companies or resources, make cross-connections, and pursue appropriate professional and economic opportunities.

The Circle Creates the Community. The Global Network Extends Its Reach.

Circle membership does not automatically qualify someone for every professional, commercial, credential-specific, or other opportunity available through the Network. Additional requirements may apply where appropriate.

What a Global Network Profile Can Tell Others

Help the Right People Understand What You Do—and Where You May Be Relevant

A useful professional or company profile needs to communicate more than a name and title.

Depending upon the applicable Network category or opportunity, a profile may identify:

PROFESSIONAL OR BUSINESS ROLE

Advisor · Consultant · Executive · Coach · CPA · Attorney · Educator · Business Owner · Specialist · Service Provider · Company · Other Professional or Business Role

SAI CREDENTIAL

FDC · CAS · CAE, where applicable to an individual

SPECIFIC AREAS OF SPECIALTY

The professional capabilities, disciplines, services, or areas in which the participant has relevant experience.

MARKET SEGMENTS SERVED

The types of businesses, organizations, professions, industries, or markets the participant serves.

INDUSTRY AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Relevant operating, executive, professional, advisory, technical, commercial, or specialist background.

BUSINESS CAPABILITIES

Where applicable, the products, services, technologies, resources, sourcing capabilities, operating capabilities, or specialized assistance an organization provides.

GEOGRAPHIC REACH

Local · Regional · National · International · Virtual, as applicable.

ENGAGEMENT INTERESTS

Advisory · Consulting · Collaboration · Referrals · Employment · Board Opportunities · Projects · Supplier Relationships · Business Services · Other Professional or Commercial Relationships

HOW TO CONNECT

An appropriate way for interested Network users or other members to contact or learn more about the participant.

A Credential Is One Part of a Professional Profile. Specialty, Experience, Capabilities, Market Focus, and Geographic Reach Help Others Understand Where a Person or Company May Be Relevant.

How Members Can Use the Network to Help Clients and Companies

The Global Network can become especially valuable when a member recognizes that a problem extends beyond his or her own expertise.

A CPA may recognize that a client's financial symptoms appear connected to an operational problem.

An attorney may encounter a succession situation involving organizational or leadership questions.

A consultant may need specialized financial, technology, human-resources, legal, manufacturing, logistics, or international-market expertise.

An executive may need capabilities that do not exist within the current management team.

A business owner may need sourcing, manufacturing, distribution, technology, transportation, customs, freight, supply-chain, or professional expertise in another country or geographic market.

An advisor may recognize the problem but need another professional with deeper expertise in the area that ultimately requires attention.

Or the owner may simply know that help is needed but not know which type of professional, specialist, or company to contact.

The Global Network provides another place to look for people and organizations whose specialties, experience, market knowledge, capabilities, geographic reach, or qualifications may be relevant.

Recognize When You Need Additional Expertise. Know Where to Begin Looking for It.

Cross-Connections for Members of The Axiom Leaders Circle™

The Global Network is also intended to make it easier for Circle members to help one another.

A member confronting a problem does not have to be the person providing the solution.

Sometimes the most valuable contribution is recognizing that additional expertise is needed and knowing where to look for it.

A member may identify another Circle member with relevant experience.

A consultant may locate a specialist who can strengthen an engagement.

An advisor may find a professional resource that helps a client.

An executive may identify a company with a capability the organization does not possess.

A member in one country may develop a relationship with someone who understands a market, industry, supplier base, operating environment, or professional issue in another.

The Network can therefore create value in both directions:

Find the Expertise You Need. Be Found for the Expertise You Have.

Additional Advisory and Consulting Opportunities

The Global Network can also create additional opportunities for qualified advisors, consultants, executives, specialists, and other professionals.

A business owner may find a professional directly.

One member may invite another into an engagement requiring complementary expertise.

A company may seek assistance in a particular market or discipline.

A professional may be asked to contribute to a project, advisory assignment, board, consulting engagement, or other business need.

The Global Network does not guarantee opportunities, engagements, referrals, or revenue.

Its purpose is to make relevant professional capability more visible and potentially easier to connect.

Greater Visibility Can Create More Possibilities. The Decision to Work Together Remains With the Participants.

How Professional and Business Relationships Work

SAI Provides the Connection. The Participants Decide What Happens Next.

Finding another person or company through the Global Network does not create an SAI consulting, advisory, employment, supplier, referral, or commercial engagement.

The participants involved determine for themselves whether they want to work together.

SAI does not participate in, establish, recommend, negotiate, approve, or influence professional fees, compensation arrangements, supplier terms, or other commercial terms independently established between Network participants.

The parties themselves determine the scope of work, professional fees or other compensation, payment terms, responsibilities, deliverables, referral or collaboration arrangements, supplier terms, commercial terms, and other conditions of the relationship.

SAI Provides the Connection. The Professional and Financial Relationship Belongs to the Participants Involved.

Any separate Network, listing, platform, or transaction fees charged directly by SAI will be clearly disclosed where applicable.

How Qualifications Will Be Identified

Different Activities May Require Different Qualifications

People using the Global Network should be able to understand the status or qualifications associated with a professional profile, company profile, service, resource, or opportunity.

CIRCLE MEMBER

The individual has satisfied The Axiom Leaders Circle™ membership prerequisite.

SAI-CREDENTIALED PROFESSIONAL

The individual has completed the requirements of the identified SAI credential.

NETWORK-ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANT

The participant has satisfied any additional requirements established for the applicable Network activity or category.

APPROVED RESOURCE PROVIDER

The participant has satisfied applicable ownership, authorization, content, and Network requirements for resources offered through the platform.

Circle membership is not an SAI professional credential.

Completion of the Business Constraint Diagnostic™ does not qualify someone to diagnose other businesses.

An SAI credential does not automatically qualify someone for every activity or opportunity available through the Global Network.

A company participating in the Network is an independent business. Participation does not make that company part of Schneider Axiom Institute.

The Global Network Identifies the Qualifications Relevant to the Activity.

What The Global Network Is Being Built to Include

The Global Network can support multiple forms of professional and business connection as participation grows.

01 — Professional, Company & SAI-Credentialed Profiles

Search participating professionals and eligible companies by professional or business role, specialty, capabilities, market segments served, industry experience, geographic reach, engagement interests, and applicable SAI credentials.

These profiles can support professional assistance, advisory and consulting opportunities, supplier or service-provider connections, referrals, collaboration, cross-connections, and professional or business visibility.

Business owners, executives, and organizations outside The Circle can also use applicable profiles when looking for assistance.

02 — Business Resources

Eligible participants can make approved original professional or business resources they own or are authorized to distribute available through the Network.

Resources may include SOP templates, KPI dashboards, planning tools, delegation systems, hiring resources, management templates, board-reporting tools, and other approved professional materials.

SAI proprietary curriculum, diagnostic instruments, scoring logic, credential materials, protected frameworks, and unauthorized derivative materials may not be distributed through the Network.

Create Something Useful Once. Allow Others to Benefit From It.

03 — Diagnostic Perspective Exchange™

See How a Professional Thinks Before You Decide Whom to Engage

A business owner may know the visible problem:

Revenue is declining.
Margins are deteriorating.
Execution is inconsistent.
Growth has stalled.

But identifying a visible problem is different from determining what may be governing the result.

The Diagnostic Perspective Exchange™ is intended to allow a business owner to describe a business problem and receive preliminary perspectives from appropriately qualified SAI-credentialed professionals.

The business owner does not need to be a Circle member or complete the Business Constraint Diagnostic™ to present a problem through the Exchange.

The purpose is not to diagnose a business from a short posting.

It is to see how participating professionals approach the problem:

What questions do they ask?

What evidence would they want to examine?

What alternative explanations do they consider?

What would they want to determine before recommending action?

Requirement to Respond

Circle Membership + Applicable SAI Professional Credential

See How They Think Before You Decide Whom to Engage.

04 — Executive & Professional Opportunities

The Global Network can connect employers and organizations with Circle members across executive, management, professional, advisory, consulting, academic, institutional, public-service, and other professional backgrounds.

Members will identify their professional category, specialties, market segments, geographic reach, and other relevant background information as part of their Axiom Leaders Circle application/profile.

That structured information can support professional searches, employment opportunities, project opportunities, member cross-connections, and other relationships across geographic markets.

Where applicable, profiles may also display SAI credentials.

An SAI credential does not replace professional experience, résumés, references, interviews, professional licensing requirements, background checks, work-authorization requirements, or employer judgment.

Help Relevant Opportunities Find Relevant Professional Experience.

How The Global Network Can Expand

The Network does not need to launch every capability at once.

Additional capabilities can be introduced as The Circle grows and sufficient participation exists to make them useful.

Potential expansion includes:

Additional Professional Services
International Sourcing & Supplier Connections
Logistics, Transportation & Distribution Resources
Business Opportunities Exchange
Businesses for Sale
Professional Practices
Professional Partnership Opportunities
Executive Speakers Bureau
Books, Publications & Research
Business Software & AI Solutions
Additional Professional Resources and Opportunities

International participation may also create opportunities for cross-border expertise, market knowledge, sourcing relationships, logistics capabilities, supplier connections, professional collaboration, and business relationships that would be difficult for an individual professional or company to develop alone.

The Network Will Expand Where Greater Connection Can Create Meaningful Value.

Why We Are Building the Community Before Expanding the Network

The Axiom Leaders Circle™ is beginning with its Founding 500.

The reason is practical.

A professional network becomes more useful when there is already a meaningful community of people with different professional backgrounds, specialties, experiences, capabilities, industries, countries, and geographic reach.

The Founding 500 milestone does not mean every Founding Member will become a consultant, supplier, resource provider, job candidate, or active participant in every part of the Global Network.

It establishes the initial professional community from which useful connections can begin.

How Founding Members May Benefit

Members who join The Axiom Leaders Circle™ as part of the Founding 500 will be permanently recognized as Founding Members.

Qualified Founding Members may also receive early advantages as Global Network capabilities are introduced, including Founding Member identification, early professional visibility, early listing and profile opportunities, and early access to selected Network capabilities.

Specific rates, commissions, fees, eligibility requirements, and category terms will be published before any applicable paid Network capability opens.

Why We Are Building The Global Network

The purpose of The Axiom Leaders Circle Global Network™ is larger than creating another professional directory, marketplace, or networking platform.

It is to make useful professional knowledge, specialized expertise, business capabilities, relationships, resources, and opportunities easier to find—and easier to share across professions, industries, geographic markets, and national borders.

A business problem in one place may require expertise located somewhere else.

A professional may recognize what a client needs without personally possessing the capability to provide it.

A company may have exactly the expertise, product, service, technology, supplier relationship, or operating capability another company has been trying to find.

A connection can begin with a question as simple as:

How Can We Help You?

When one person or company can help another solve a problem, find needed expertise, create an opportunity, strengthen a client, improve a company, or connect someone with the right capability, the value of the relationship can extend beyond the people who made the connection.

Stronger individuals can strengthen families. Stronger professionals can help strengthen companies. And stronger companies can strengthen the communities and economies in which they operate.

That is the larger purpose behind what we are building.
