Unbundling the Firm
Traditionally, if you wanted a top-tier consultant, you had to hire the firm. You paid for their office, their brand, and their junior analysts. But the world has changed. Technology has "unbundled" the firm. Top talent is leaving the corporate world to go independent, and they are congregating on the independent consultant marketplace.
Direct Access
Consultant Marketplaces like Leovine are the platforms facilitating this shift. They curate these independent experts and make them accessible to businesses. It is the "Uber-ization" of high-end expertise. You don't need to own the car; you just need a ride. This model supports on-demand business expertise tailored to your immediate needs.
Transparency and Speed
In a marketplace, you can see profiles, reviews, and rates. The hiring process shrinks from months to days. This democratization of talent is a game-changer for small businesses. It levels the playing field, allowing a 50-person company to access the same intellect as a 50,000-person conglomerate. Access to brains is no longer a luxury; it is a commodity you can click to buy.
