The NetworkCSN has no full-time employees and assembles effective teams on an as-needed basis. After some 25 years in the profession we have developed and cultivated a global network of multi-disciplinary specialists that can meet the requirements of the most demanding projects. These bespoke multi-disciplinary teams can rapidly respond to the demands and shifting cultural and linguistic landscapes of a given project. The varied teams provide a comprehensive perspective and facilitate best practice implementation.
