What is a VTO’s Prime Mind or Expert Mind ?
The VTO’s central mechanism consists, is activated and operated exclusively by accredited members perfoming as executives and external partners, the Prime Minds, which, depending on their response and availability, can be distinguished as On line or On demand.
On Line (Prime Minds) are in direct contact with the central or local VTO, acting as Permanent prompt response staff and offering services to both the organization’s internal processes and external projects.
They can also provide on-line advice or help on tasks that can be performed interactively.
On Demand (Expert Minds) are the Accredited Members of Experts Pools (XPs), in direct contact with the central or local VTO but acting as Available prompt response staff and offer services mainly when there is a need or demand.
They have the same capabilities and rights as On Line, but not the same priority.

Prime Minds have not only the ability but above all the priority (compared to the other members of Expert’s Pools) to provide personalized services directly to customers or to participate actively in projects and collaborations. They could be classified as the first line of fire!
As fully accredited members and official associates, their profile typically and substantially gains more credibility, dynamism and prospectity, making it the first choice for any collaboration for both MHH and Partners as well as potential external employers or customers.
