IntroductionI am Andrew SouthallAt Exeter University I chair the External
Advisory Committee for SECaMI have an Hon. Research Fellowship with CWSI am interested in Business Engagement
![Page 17: Welcome to our 10 th Anniversary Celebration 24 th June 2008](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062518/5697bf751a28abf838c803f4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why work with CWS?International Capability but grounded in UK
contextConstantly looking over the horizon but also
working on current issues (PR09)Able to challenge the status quo and provide
fresh perspectiveAdding value and reach

Is it really that difficult?Well, NO it need not beFinding the right entry point into the
organisation is key, as is finding the right people to work with
Good relationships take time (my own experience is based on over 14 yrs!)

It takes two to tango!CWS wants to keep its research grounded in
real world practiceIt should always create win-winYou are buying thinking time and the
opportunity to see things differentlyYou can “sell” differentiation and value adding
thinking
