Network3
Still growing, still connecting
The 5-minute networking challenge continues - now through to December
Grow your influence. Earn points. Win prizes
(bragging rights optional!)
Since launching this summer, Network³ has taken off — turning what started as a simple challenge into a real Channel³ movement.
Across teams and regions, people have been connecting, sharing, and introducing each other in brilliant ways — proving that business development doesn’t have to be big or formal. Sometimes it’s just five minutes, one message, or one good conversation.
How to take part
Everyone from Analyst to Principal Consultant can take part.
Points are earned for everyday business development activities — the kind that build momentum, create opportunities, and connect Channel 3 to new people.
Our Partners, Directors and Managing Consultants will play a coaching and coordination role — helping make sure outreach is aligned and that we’re approaching clients in a joined-up way.
Complete a micro-challenge or make a new connection.
Log your activity — it only takes a minute.
Watch your points (and influence) grow.
A few of our favourite wins so far….
These small, consistent actions are what Network³ is all about:
Connection, confidence, and curiosity.
Chris
Chris turned three introductions into a meaningful client conversation, even bringing a colleague along (extra points, naturally).
Natasha
Natasha used our Power of 3 approach to comment on a client’s post, sparking a follow-up meeting and new contact for Channel³.
Rosa
Rosa made five introductions in one week, helping our Children’s Services team connect with new local authority leaders.
The challenge continues
Simple actions that build habits and connections: Each one earns points — and helps strengthen yours and other people’s networks. Points also mean prizes - coffee, merch, perk points and a few surprises. So, let’s get going!
-
Add five new connections in your sector.
-
Comment on a client’s post using our Power of 3 approach.
-
Introduce a colleague to someone useful from your network.
