How we work
Our experts tend to be in flexible working arrangements that allow them to participate in different projects. They are not attached to any particular firm or service structure and are often not employed in full time roles.
​
As our experts maintain their knowledge and expertise, we keep them close and where opportunities arise to utilise their experience, we can call on them to resource projects either on a stand-alone basis to address a resource need or as part of a combined project that is managed by a specially tailored team to address those challenges.
