For over five years, HBO Network has conducted missions for international clients, public organizations or industrial groups. As a partner, HBO represents a decisive factor for our clients in the selection of the contractor.

Furthermore, members are able to do business and incorporate HBO in their global offer of services thanks to the knowledge of "call-makers" and the industrial base.

As a member you can mention HBO Network in your offer if you wish to display an international network. HBO represents a competitive advantage for your services and added-value for your clients.

HBO is present in every continent and enjoys a number of acknowledged consultants. In this context, we are providing you an access to a whole set of resources for your clients and missions. The mutual acquaintance of members and the habit of working together guarantees the quality of members and services provided. For each mission on the network, an experimented consultant assures the coherence and quality of products delivered by the entire active members.   

For us, a network needs to be more than a simple business generating tool in order to last and be efficient. As a consequence HBO develops an entire set of tools to unite the network :

• Regular meetings and events depending on each and everyone's availability
• A newsletter to be informed on the network's current affairs and its members
• More than 5 years of existence and missions in common for public-private clients establishing strong ties between our members 

HBO has developed an online tool with a showcase website for our partners and clients and a section reserved to our members that includes : 

• A directory of all members, cabinets and experts
• Detailed business opportunities of public-private clients
• A planning and a review of training programs offered

HBO Network would like to put in place training programs for its members. These members would regularly organize training sessions in a specialized field. Each member (cabinet or expert) joining the network organizes at least one training program for other members. These programs fulfill three objectives :

• Enhance everyone's knowledge by bringing a specific operational ability 
• Unite the network in multiplying meetings and exchanges through regular training programs
• Animate and develop the network
