Abstract

This is part of a case series. Networking had been central to Yvonne Benkert's career - helping her to get her first job out of university, and then taking her to head of HR for MAN. As a high potential, Yvonne began an Executive MBA program. In November 2009, the management board was restructured. Everyone was replaced except for Yvonne's mentor. He offered her the job of Head of Corporate Responsibility, reporting to the board member responsible for HR. Yvonne's new job required greater contact internally with different functional disciplines (compliance, risk management, etc), geographies, divisions and also with the outside world. She took stock of all her different networks - both internal and external.
