Over the course of the past five years, we have collaborated with over 75 life sciences enterprises, encompassing a diverse range of sizes and structures. A common query that consistently arises pertains to our organizational identity – "What exactly is the nature of your services?" It is typical for companies, particularly within procurement departments, to seek to categorize entities into predefined boxes. Are we to be categorized as a staffing agency? To some extent. Could we be likened to a consulting firm? While we possess consulting attributes, this description falls short. Reflecting on this matter in recent times, we've come to the realization that our true essence can be encapsulated as a "knowledge broker". Although the term "broker" is often associated with the financial services sector, it undeniably holds relevance within our domain as well. Our unique positioning enables us to facilitate productive connections between client companies and freelance experts, fostering mutually advantageous interactions.
According to the definition provided by Wikipedia, "A knowledge broker is an intermediary entity – an organization or individual – which endeavors to cultivate relationships and networks among producers and consumers of knowledge. This is achieved by furnishing linkages, knowledge resources, and, in some instances, knowledge itself (such as technical expertise, market insights, and research evidence) to entities within its network."
This articulation aptly encapsulates our role. We empower our clients to access a wealth of comprehensive knowledge and expertise amassed within an extensive expert network. As businesses increasingly embrace flexible staffing models, we stand as a pivotal enabler, serving both sides of the equation. Our clients gain the ability to tap into a diverse array of resources, spanning from high-level strategic insight to day-to-day operational support, precisely when, where, and how they require it. Meanwhile, experts choose to affiliate with our network because they retain a desire to contribute significantly to the industry they hold dear. Such experts may wish to avoid the intricacies of business development and back-office tasks inherent to operating independently.
Anticipating the shifts predicted by numerous industry experts towards a more variable workforce paradigm within the life sciences sector, we are eager to observe the industry's response. Regardless of the shape the landscape assumes in 2023 and beyond, we are confident in our ability to deliver substantial value to both our existing clientele and the untapped prospects we have yet to encounter.
Therefore, when confronted with the inquiry, "In which category do you belong?" from a procurement counterpart, we will respond with unwavering assurance, stating, "We operate as a knowledge broker."
We eagerly anticipate the prospect of supporting your team in the approaching years, as your company endeavors to enhance efficiency and access highly qualified talent through the adaptable and cost-effective framework we offer.
