Empower your members to navigate through the challenges and opportunities
of the digital networked transformation.

Welcome to Networked Business Initiative

The Networked Business Initiative (NBI) is putting nations, companies and their advisors on the fast track to improved business practices in the digitally networked society.

The NBI is on a mission to help companies and their advisors thrive and survive in the networked society.

The NBI offers companies and their external advisors a free, secure and data driven web-service able to map, measure and benchmark the utilisation and business impact of IT at a company, industry and national level.

Run as a global community initiative, the NBI brings together academic organisations, commercial partners and industry associations in co-creating a globally recognised set of open industry standards for digital networked business success.

Why?

Businesses across the world struggle to keep up with the digital revolution that is sweeping through every industry. Networked technologies like social, mobile, cloud, data analytics and web-based information systems radically affect customer behaviour and market dynamics.

The transformational challenges are enormous and companies need to re-align their staff, products, and processes to stay competitive and take advantage of this new digitally networked society.

Based on self-assesment, the NBI helps organisations understand where they are today and provides a framework for defining a digital vision and identifying priorities to transform that vision to reality. Gain competitive insights and advantages to thrive in the new Networked Business world.

How it Works Info-graphic

'What you get' and 'what you give'

Selected partners

"In these years, it is especially social, mobile and cloud-based technologies that act as a catalyst in the technological paradigm shift that is changing and even revolutionizing the way we do businesses."

Jens Klarskov

CEO, Danish Chamber of Commerce

"Concrete data and facts help me in communicating to my management. They have the ambitions, but often lack essential fact-based knowledge of the area – resulting in a missed opportunity to take advantage of social media to further beneﬁt the company."

Grimur Fjeldsted

Interactive and Social Media Designer, ECCO A/S

"This project's systematic efforts to map companies use of social media and publish fact-based data as a base for making decisions, have great value in a time that requires faster action, better results with new resources and fewer economic resources."

Anders Uttrup

Group Marketing Director, CREUNA

“…Such an annual mapping exercise is the first step towards strategic use of social media for generating competitive advantages, increasing operational efficiencies, and addressing the managerial challenges in a dynamic but uncertain world of today and tomorrow.”

Ravi Vatrapu

Associate Professor, Department of ITM, Copenhagen Business School

"... Once on board the “social media train” – then comes the hard part! That is why we are pleased with the initiative and look forward to following the results of the research."

Anders Lunde

Online & PR Manager, Hummel International

The NBI story

The story of the Networked Business Initiative began in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2010. It is a story about a collaborative network of industry and academia working together to move business' digital maturity forward.

The pilot project in Denmark collected and analysed data from thousands of companies and shared the actionable insights via publications, events and media. During this process the unique collaborative model of NBI has been refined and tested continuously and matured the project into what it is today.
