Perhaps a model of contractors collecting together in small groups to carry on, will work.
I've seen this happen a bit in the US, especially in the Rails consulting space. I think having loosely formed "agencies" made up of complementary partners where the sales pipeline goes through the agency is definitely a potential way forward, but seems uncommon in the UK so far. The downside is independent contractors with poor networking skills might struggle to find people to collaborate with.
- obayesshelton 6y agoI love this idea! Do you have some names of agencies that do this?
- Nursie 6y agoSome friends and I got like 5% into building a website for this a year or so back - an analogue to a CV site where you could upload your team profile, competencies etc. As with many ideas like this, we kinda lost interest and moved on to other things. It's possible there's a gap in the market.
- petercooper 6y agoI don't want to point to ones I remember from back in the day in case I got their model wrong, but a current company doing something like this at scale would be https://x-team.com/ https://x-team.com/ .. I think it could work at a much smaller level though.
