Companies Require Glue to hold it Together

In both the organisational and maŕket context some professionals play the role of ‘the glue’.

It may be M&A related, it may be strategic from a structural perspective, but there is increasinlgy a need to keep all the parts of the machine properly working together, and to link the external or the strategic, with internal or the operational.

You find them as client engagement leads, Internal and external stakeholder specialists, pmo experts, data and HR and culture, project managers, tech experts etc. an increasingly important attribute in an increasingly fragmented world.

Change agents, social scientists, communications, behavioural specialists, HR technology, maths majors, Management consultants.

Only some people are happy to occupy this role, and when you find them, you have most certainly found gold.

Multidisiciplinary capability is often only executable by people with rare skills sets, so pay attention when these people arrive at doorstep, as they normally can see things others cannot see.
