Talent Network

In addition to the thought leaders within Monitor, we maintain a network of external talent linked to our firm. These people are prominent thought leaders in their fields, with provocative ideas about the future of business, science and society.

We provide our clients with integrated resources for growth, from both our staff and these external experts. We act as an “intelligent switch”, putting our clients in touch with relevant leading edge thinking and resources outside of Monitor as needed.

We provide access to the best thinking from notable authors, speakers, educators, researchers, and executives from around the world. While our primary function for our talent is to develop and fulfill commercial demand from corporations, associations, non-profits, and other buyers, we also address a wide range of individual needs, including advice on intellectual content, career development, and personal branding.
