PORTFOLIO LEADERS, CONTRACTORS AND FREELANCERS ARE IN DEMAND, BUT HOW DO THEY DIFFER?
Highly skilled consultants, such as those at Business Technology Leaders find fulfilment in helping small and mid-sized companies scale and level up in the UK. These portfolio leaders are in demand because they provide efficient and results-driven solutions in a fraction of the time, for less than the typical employee costs.
Portfolio Leaders are tired of living out of a suitcase, working for consulting firms with little or no social conscience, preferring instead to help small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) grow. Unfortunately SMB could not afford to hire them full-time, until now, as a Business Technology Leader can lead a team or design and execute a plan in a fraction of the time it would take someone with less experience, and with much greater results.
Are contractors and portfolio consultants the same?
Contractors often work on a project-by-project basis. They may have years of experience, but they usually agree to accomplish specific tasks or operate within set parameters. Whereas portfolio leaders dedicate a portion of their time to your business on a retained basis, within which they can perform project work.
Portfolio leaders may set aside specific days of the week to come into the office and work alongside a company’s team, typically fulfil an executive-level role (utilising their executive-level experience), they will strategise and take action in light of your company culture and long-term business goals, instead of merely focusing on a specific project. It may be that a client only needs a singular project completed, such as a system implementation or cloud migration or require only a few recurring specialised tasks to be completed every month.
A portfolio leader, by their nature, works for multiple clients on a part-time basis. Business Technology Leaders area of expertise is in all business modernisation matters, offering strategic guidance and advice to our clients on all related matters from finance to sales, marketing, HR and legal with our Allies.
Portfolio leaders work with a higher degree of autonomy, as trusted advisors for each of the businesses they work with.
