Was inspired by the last #fintech hui* after meeting some clever folks who are doing hiring a little differently. I've been speaking to a few fabulous leaders about different ways to approach attracting, growing and developing human capital (arguably the greatest competitive advantage available!). Thanks for your generosity Kathleen Webber and Jonathan Morgan. Hope you enjoy a little taste of how you can scale without the hiring headaches in this article... *thanks Lucas Grossi for collecting such a great bunch of humans at the fintech hui. And a People in Tech meet coming up Nov 14 too...

🥱 Networking doesn't need to be a dirty word. It's easy to find excuses to stay at home (especially when its your main place of work), but this #fractional get together in Tāmaki Makaurau is always worth it for me. It fills the cup - catching up with like minded, interesting and talented people - getting some time kanohi ki te kanohi gives me an energy lift, and gets the ideas going. It's all about picking the right peeps/network in the first place. For the #fractional community plans are afoot for an end-of-year bash, with more info to come next week. Make sure you're in the slack group (via Zachary King and The Fractional Exec Community) and check out The Fractional Directory if your fractional-curious. Or DM me to get on the invite list. Get ready for a end of year knees-up, first week Dec. Michelle Allbon you were missed and hope to see you and bub soon! General outtake: despite the choppy market, lots of experiments going on in ways of working and attracting work and diversification of income streams essential. This is not a group that waits for 💩 to happen - resilient and resourceful. Smaller gathering than usual but high quality chat! 🙌 Kia kaha koutou. Lovely to see you Laia Sastre Michael Friedberg Melissa Firth Brendan S. McEnroe Katie Desai Paul Zaruchevsky Russell Harwood 🫶

here's an interesting thought: fractional work is exploding in popularity, as are the marketplaces to contract (eg https://lnkd.in/g87Vq-ny) or even pick an exec's brain for 30m (eg Intro) if fractional work continues to grow (both supply side and demand side) at the rate of the last 3 years, could we reach a point where your average startup has more fractional teammates than full-time teammates? in conjunction with the rapid spread of prosumer AI applications (eg CX, outbound sales, talent sourcing), maybe fractional work is the hack that unlocks Sam Altman's predicted 1-person $1B company. reminds me of the early days of the gig work era

I love helping companies create digital solutions, but unfortunately, my time is limited and hiring staff is risky. So what if I could deliver value and expertise in the smallest increment imaginable? Tag anyone who can use a hand with Digital strategy and usability.
