A few weeks ago, our Commercial Excellence Talents from Eurofins Food & Feed Testing, Agro Testing, and SAM Sensory and Consumer Research Europe gathered for their second Talent Programme module in Rotterdam, ready to gain new personal and professional skills. Among many interesting topics, the group delved into discussions on Business Strategy, AI as well as project management. 🇳🇱 Not only did they come to learn, but also to network with each other. Networking is a game-changer in the professional world. During the development sessions, emphasis is placed on the art of building and maintaining a strong professional network. They discussed and analysed current trends, focusing on how to adapt and thrive in our rapidly evolving testing, inspection, and certification industry. Just by looking at the interactions, it was easy to see that it was both a lot of fun and also a brain work-out at the same time. 🌐 Daniel Dobes, National Business Line Leader, Eurofins Czech Republic, joined the session as keynote speaker and inspired the group by introducing them to some of the business development initiatives he’s currently working on. The integration of project management principles is also a vital component to succeed in business. This time, the programme participants learned how to manage their business projects (including the importance of effectively collaborating with stakeholders and sponsors) and manage deadlines – key learnings on the road to successfully implement strat
