DABGO continues to grow at an amazing rate. We now have weeks with 40-50 new members and we know that it is your effort to tell your friends and colleagues about DABGO and the value we create for all Danish business people abroad that is driving our growth. Thank you and please keep telling other Danes about DABGO. We are certainly stronger together.

We also believe the consistent focus on value development for our members is a significant factor. Recent developments include DABGO Stambord, DABGO Fora and DABGO Job Board. This is just the beginning. There are many new initiatives on the way for 2009. Stay tuned. DABGO is only going to be a more valuable tool for you as we move forward.

Please take the time to look through your DABGO Group on Linkedin. You will find highly talented and helpful Danes working in Danish companies such as Maersk, Vestas, Lego, Bang & Olufsen, Novo, FLSmidt, Grundfos, Danfoss, Hempel, ISS, DSV, Chr. Hansen, Lundbeck og Haldor Topsoe just to mention a few.

There are also a great number of Danes with highly successful careers in American companies such as Microsoft, Nike, Abbott, IBM, Google, Yahoo, Accenture and Intel again just to mention a few.

The possibilities of doing business and creating opportunities amongst Danes and the companies they represents has never been better.

The last few months we have seen a faster increase in the number of members, so make sure to check the new members in your area, and make a lunch appointment or arrange a meet up for all the Danes in your area. Remember, it’s up to You!

Your DABGO network is growing with leaps and bounds, which is great news, but it also results in an increased need to protect your time and ability to conduct your business without too many interruptions. 

From time to time we see individuals who, despite already being connected to all of you through the DABGO Group on Linkedin, attempts to connect with all directly. This is certainly not the idea with the DABGO network. Needless to mention, DABGO strongly encourage networking but we have a hard time believing all members in DABGO are the “right and perfect” networking partner so when we see efforts to connect with everybody, we fear it really just becomes time and energy robbery.  It may also lead to advertising spamming which we personally believe is one of our main missions to protect you from.

It is pretty safe to say that the amount of time and energy that would be consumed on all of us connecting with each other directly would destroy your value of Linkedin and DABGO. We reserve the right to ask members to leave DABGO should we feel they disrespect your time and value to the Danish business community abroad. 

We are trying to keep the networking going and the time robbers away but as you can imagine this is a fine line to walk. However, it is and will remain a key priority of DABGO. Should you have any concerns or feedback, please always feel free to contact the undersigned.
