Without a proactive strategy for managing his network, Lucas struggled to find new partners or subcontractors, making it harder to expand their external skills base.
Lucas often faced collaboration issues when trying to fill skill gaps in assignments and projects, resulting in slow and inefficient processes.
Finding and matching the right consultant, regardless of employment type, took too long, making it difficult for Lucas to meet client needs quickly.
