About the Enterprise Engagement Alliance
In the last year, over 240,000 business professionals have accessed the web sites, e-newsletters, YouTube videos, and social media of the Enterprise Engagement Alliance. While the names of people who read our e-newsletters is confidential, they include management in all areas of sales, marketing, and human resources, from the nation's largest companies and best-known engagement solution providers to a wide range of small-to-medium-size businesses.
The Enterprise Engagement Alliance (EEA) is a coalition of companies and associations dedicated to the concept that engagement is an enterprise-wide endeavor that “begins with people and ends with profitability.” The EEA’s primary mission is to support education and outreach that creates a better understanding of how organizations can make the connection between engaging people in business and long-term financial performance. The EEA is founded on the premise that the engagement of all of an organization’s key audiences – customers, distribution partners and employees – is a critical but often overlooked success factor for businesses.
The Enterprise Engagement Alliance was founded in 2008. The EEA’s first research project, “The Economics of Engagement,” was released in June 2009 and is available here.
Training and Consulting
The EEA has developed a formal curriculum on Enterprise Engagement designed to give people the understanding and tools they need to implement Enterprise Engagement within their organizations that is presented throughout the U.S. in conjunction with Marcus Evans and via a free monthly webinar series. In addition, the EEA offers customized training for companies, as well as a consulting service to help organizations develop formal strategic plans.
