  • What Life Sciences Marketers Can Learn From Hollywood About Buying Consulting And Agency Services by Gregg Fisher (Marketing: Health on 06/02/2015)

    Paula, well said. There is a downside when people freelance out of necessity versus choice. However, corporate job security (in all industries) has become fleeting and the freelance economy is the new reality. The independent consultants that thrive are those who realize that, cultivate specialized skills that let them attract innovative projects, and earn wages in excess of a corporate job.

    Brian, thanks for your post. I agree that "a balance of stability and flexibilty is best." The question is what is that balance. And trends have favored a more networked (less centralized) model for years now because of growth in freelance talent, ease of remote talent identification & talent management, and changes in attitudes toward work. Core infrastructure is critical even in a networked model but overhead is leanly focused so client dollars are maximized and the emphasis is kept on the right talent versus "our talent". No model is superior in all cases - each has trade-offs - but the advantages of this approach in terms of specialization, flexibility, talent motivation and value can lead to superior results for many Health clients. Regarding critical mass, the netwoked model does scale and scale well: Check out this HBR article which highlights one such firm with 500 consultants https://hbr.org/2014/12/what-happens-when-all-employees-work-when-they-feel-like-it. Thanks again for the post!
