Monitor Talent Portfolio of Services

Service Offerings for our Talent

We take a holistic look at our clients’ needs across a range of representation and agency offerings. At the outset, we launch each talent relationship by determining the appropriate combination of the following services:

ENGAGEMENTS AND ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY

• Commercial representation for speeches, consulting, management education, and board placement. This is our core offering to our talent. We have access to a wide variety of corporate and institutional clients who are looking for particular outside expertise. Some of these are Monitor Group clients and others are developed directly from Monitor Networks.
• Relationship Management. We believe in finding multiple outlets and channels to extend the reach of our representation. To that end, we will identify and work with other agencies and bureaus—that meet high standards for service and ethical behavior—to co-market to end buyers. We manage all these relationships for our talent (transactional detail, updating materials, etc).

PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

• Assessment and planning. We work with our talent to determine the most important priorities and tactical actions for their professional careers, bearing in mind their expertise, market positions, passions, and practicalities. Our assessment process uses our robust human networks to garner feedback, advice, and support.
• Marketing and branding support. We make available leading branding and marketing coaches to work with our talent clients. Together, we ensure that there is a coherent and differentiated communication to the market of our talent’s unique viewpoints, expertise, and ability to add value in any engagement.

UNIQUE COLLABORATION, EXPOSURE, AND NETWORKING CHANNELS

• FutureMonitor. We invite our talent to join FutureMonitor, a global sensing network designed to answer the question, “What will business be focused on two years from now?” We’ll regularly canvass the responses to ensure that our presenters have access to the challenges and discussion points that surface from the FutureMonitor conversations.
• Applied Innovation Networks. We position our talent as resources within our Applied Innovation Networks, which specialize in sparking innovation. We form diverse networks of key thinkers and practitioners around hard-to-solve problems, emerging trends, and other areas of corporate interest.
• Events. A significant part of the value we create together comes from connecting the talent in a variety of ways, such as ongoing Monitor events, “raves” (brainstorming meetings), and special events such as receptions and book parties.

SUPPORT CAPABILITY

• Graphics and production support. We help our clients create compelling visual materials and video assets through our multimedia and design capabilities.
• Research support. We can make available, for reasonable fees, the extensive resources of the Monitor Group companies, many of which are engaged in cutting-edge research and intelligence gathering.
• Event production and delivery. For particular projects such as commercial events built around our talent and their material, we can assume a producer role, responsible for all aspects of event design, fulfillment and delivery, and working with both Monitor and outside resources.
• Access to administrative support. As needed, we can locate and make available, at favorable rates, assistance across a variety of personal services, such as tax, accounting, secretarial, or travel and concierge services. As expected, we ensure that the quality and performance of all of our service partners is absolutely first rate.
