Become Network IQ™ Coach
if you care to accelerate careers of entrepreneurial people…
We believe that entrepreneurial people can succeed only if they have the right networks and utilise them strategically.
This has been proven by our research. It shows that strategic networking is one of core competencies in the digital workplace.
We call this competence Network Intelligence – that is a capacity to turn people in your networks – both strong and weak ties – into collaborators.
We measure Network Intelligence through seven Network IQ™ skills. Developing Network IQ™ shows that startup founders, young researchers, and employees of large organizations advance careers faster, always with a purpose in mind….

About Network Intelligence
Network Intelligence is a system-change methodology which helps build high-performance ecosystems. Its core measurement is the Network IQ™ Index.
Network IQ™ Index assesses a set of core skills which enable individuals to identify and activate their networks for innovation and purpose-driven growth.
Network Intelligence was originally designed for alumni of EIT KICs by Dr. Daria Tataj based on her book “Innovation and Entrepreneurship” with a Preface by Prof. Manuel Castells.
Watch the Masterclass with Dr. Daria Tataj and Prof. Manuel Castells which launched the research on Network Intelligence (Barcelona, 2018).

Testimonials
Higher Education Transformation
“I had the privilege of participating in the Network IQ Train-The-Trainer Programme in 2022. This fully online programme provided an excellent basis for both self-development and trainer capacity building. Programme tutors and fellow participants work collegially to co-create plans and actions to enhance self and organisational Network IQ skills. The assignments pushed me to address my own barriers to development and to contemplate the participant experience for future sessions led by me at SETU Business School. I came away feeling inspired to implement the programme in our university’s undergraduate, postgraduate and executive student support infrastructure.”
Tech Transfer, Innovation, Entrepreneurship
“The Network Intelligence methodology has the potential to soon become a mainstream entrepreneurship teaching method next to lean, agile, and business model canvas. I highly recommend adopting Network IQ philosophy as a key business asset for scaling entrepreneurial ventures and internationalising science based start-ups”.
