We are excited to share some big news. Your Allinial Global membership just got better! We’ve created a Marketplace for high-caliber Allinial Global firms to team up to fuel firm growth and expand service opportunities for clients.

Wait…What? Tell Me More!

Introducing our new Driving Commerce Marketplace on AGConnect! The Driving Commerce Marketplace is our centralized navigation platform that allows member firms of all sizes to find and team up with each other easily. Let’s take a quick test-drive to review its features:

• Fast-track commerce by showcasing your firm’s specialized service capabilities and areas of expertise. Firms can submit a Commerce Compass for various specialized practice areas, which then becomes searchable by peer Allinial Global firms on the Marketplace. The firm’s Commerce Compass helps peers identify specialized services and expertise for collaboration opportunities that can lead to referrals for your firm.

• Increase client loyalty by teaming up with peer firms to proactively offer specialized services. Keep pace with your clients’ ever-expanding needs by exploring the Marketplace to find emerging service opportunities to present to your clients. The Commerce Compasses provide descriptions, an expertise competency scale rating, and direct access to key contacts in peer firms to help you find the best match-up for your client’s needs.

“The expansive growth of Allinial Global means even more opportunities for collaboration and commerce between our member firms. I’m excited that we are now also leveraging technology to facilitate peer-to-peer connections and drive truly global commerce opportunities.”

—Mark Koziel, President and CEO, Allinial Global

• Turbo-charge your own specialized service line by seeking guidance from experienced firms. Cruise the Marketplace to find peer firms that are willing to provide advice, insights, and expertise to help you build or enhance your own specialized service offering

• Jump-start talent-sharing agreements with peer firms to fulfill short-term staffing challenges or to train staff in new specialized skills. Customize your search in the Marketplace to look for firms that are willing to collaborate on talent sharing and development. The Marketplace can be your vehicle to team up with peer firms that have excess capacity or the ability to offer on-the-job training for up-and-coming staff in a specialized service area.

• Rev up staff retention and recruitment with secondments. Calibrate your search in the Marketplace to find firms willing to offer international secondment opportunities through our Global Opportunities (GO) program. This can provide international development opportunities for staff and serve as a strategic employee benefit to help increase recruitment and retention of staff.

Allinial Global fosters a culture of mutual benefit, commerce, and collaboration, where member firms work together to accelerate their practices and better serve their clients. Members have been asking for more support in this area through a centralized access point that facilitates broader connectivity for all firm sizes. This is just the beginning of our new Marketplace that will continue to gather speed as firms make their Commerce Compass submissions.
