Werkling’s where Leaders come when their team is at capacity or they need a specialist skill set for a specific project.
Gig Brief
‘We’re going through a lot of change and are introducing an innovative learning experience platform to support our leaders. The launch date is fast approaching and the team’s stretched between this and several other large projects. We need extra support designing the learning pathways and launch activities.’
Talent Matched
The Leader was matched with On-Demand Talent who had previously worked on a number of learning design and learning platform projects. The On-Demand Talent was briefed to pick up the identified critical project elements and to relieve some of the work pressures from the team during times of competing org priorities.
Impact
The On-Demand Talent delivered within scope, budget, and the planned timeline which resulted in the reduced need for additional work hours by the team and freed up resources to be allocated in other parts of the project.
