TALENT-AS-A-SERVICE (TAAS)Organizations can more readily find and source the

capabilities they need by tapping external resources.

It's often cheaper and more efficient to buy external capabilities than build and invest in them internally.

Building secondary but critical capabilities can keep organizations focused on their core business.

Capabilities that are leveraged on-demand via contract rather than "owned" internally can be rapidly spun up or spun down, depending on organizational need.

THE LION AND THE GAZELLE

25

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle... when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.

African Proverb

WHAT IT TAKES?

Time and priority management A financial cushion At least basic technology skills Dedicated work "space" - SOHO Know your value

26

Hustle + Focus x Diversity = Success

PROS You call the shots - work on your

own terms The commute can't be beat - 30

seconds or less Work-life balance - juggling priorities Work when you want, where you

want

27

CONS "Home office" can be a challenge Balance - getting the work and doing

the work Discipline and organization are

essential You are the chief everything officer
