TNON - The Network of Networks

What TNON - The Network of Networks does

TNON - The Network of Networks is a UK-based professional services firm founded in 2011 that develops and delivers evidence-based programmes for large multinational corporations seeking to attract, retain, and promote racial and ethnic minority professionals. Operating from London under the legal entity The Network of Networks Ltd and ultimately held by We Us Ours Limited, TNON works with over 130 corporate clients across at least 25 countries via a portfolio of 12-week virtual cohorts and recurring forums, with occasional in-person delivery through partners such as Deloitte.

The core product set comprises two flagship talent accelerators — the Mid-Career Talent Accelerator (£5,000 per delegate) and the Navigator Early Career Accelerator (£2,500 per delegate) — alongside higher-touch programmes including Race in the Boardroom (delivered with Deloitte), The Ally Accelerator (with Delta Alpha), and RISE (with INvolve). Complementing these are recurring forums: the ERG Quarterly Forum (with Delta), the HR Business Partner Race Equity Forum, the Global Investor Strategy Forum (historically with Bloomberg), and Women Innovating Together in Healthcare (with W*I*T*H Boston). Programmes are distinguished by an "ecosystem" delivery model that engages not only the individual delegate but also their line manager, executive sponsor, HR business partner, and ERG leader within a Support and Challenge Group, producing reported outcomes of 34% internal promotion within one year and 74% five-year client retention.

The business operates a B2B enterprise sales motion targeting HR, DEI, and talent development leaders, supported by content marketing (blog, impact reports, email), events/forums as both marketing and delivery channels, and a Steering Committee of Employee Network Leaders from member organisations that drives organic referrals. Revenue is generated from per-delegate programme fees, corporate forum memberships, and advisory engagements; pricing is quote-based for enterprise work with publicly disclosed per-delegate rates for the flagship accelerators and volume discounts for renewals. The firm is privately held with a small core team of approximately 7 professionals plus delivery partners, and operates with no disclosed external funding rounds.
