What is an Expert Network?

An Expert Network can be loosely defined as a network of people who provide advice in a professional capacity. Expert networks are based on the premise that a mix of expert opinions, with each expert giving an independent and objective viewpoint, is better than just one and allows for more informed decision-making. Our experts are referred to as Board Members.
