[ 3 January 2006 ] Rethinking CommerceNet: Restructuring into Expert Groups

CommerceNet will be streamlined according to the various initiatives led by Expert Groups. Each group will consist of not less than 5 experts and CPs as the core, coordinating research fellows, scholars, academicians, industry players and suppliers.

With expert groups, members and industry players need to handle only those areas that is relevant to them. Many of these initiatives will be test bedded in Pakistan, where CommerceNet had made tremendous in roads over the years. Within these expert groups, flexibilities has been built to allow for companies and members wanting to test-bed lifestyle related technologies and business models can join broader based groups – where the subject matter is less defined.

CommerceNet realised that to remain relevant, it has to evolve with times. Over the years, it has been involved actively in initiatives that pioneer and advance tomorrow’s technology, today. CommerceNet will continue to keep up its strategic role as a key influencer, encouraging innovation and driving progress, and in the process, helping industry players flourish through promoting industry self-regulation and encouraging enlightened government policy.
