The Speed of Change
New technologies (AI), new regulations, and new competitors appear overnight. You cannot hire a full-time employee fast enough to react to every change. If you try, you will end up with a bloated payroll and a slow culture. On-demand business expertise is the antidote to this sluggishness.
Expertise as a Service (EaaS)
Think of On-Demand Expertise like Cloud Computing. You don't buy the server; you rent the compute power when you need it. Similarly, you can now "spin up" an expert team for a specific project say, an AI integration using an AI implementation consultant for small business and spin them down when it's done.
Variable Cost, Fixed Value
This shifts talent from a Fixed Cost to a Variable Cost. It makes your business anti-fragile. You can scale your intellect up and down with the market demand. In a volatile world, this agility is the ultimate competitive advantage. Don't own the asset; own the access to the asset.
