Expertise Supplementation

What Is It?

Expertise supplementation is the addition of individuals who possess capabilities that your organisation requires or would benefit from. These individuals still work for the supplier organisation from a permanent employment viewpoint but during their time inside an organisation they work entirely within that organisations responsibility.

Why Assess It?

There are many reasons to supplement your existing expertise, five of which are below.

Immediate Support

Hiring in an individual with the capabilities you require can take months as well as a lot of your resources to conduct interviews, background checks, agree renumeration package and contracts etc. However, supplementing your capabilities with expertise bought in means the role can be filled almost immediately.

Independent Expertise

A good expert brings an independent viewpoint, shaped by their own thoughts and experiences along with the benefit of the knowledge of previous companies. The use of expertise supplementation amplifies these benefits due to the individual’s increased visibility of organisations, whilst retaining their independence in working for your organisations benefit.

Technical Knowledge

Long term role holders can over time have aging technical knowledge, as organisations slow their growth due to sizing or simply have different challenges to the ones you face now. Using expertise supplementation ensures you get up to date, deep technical knowledge relevant to your organisation without an adjustment period being needed.

Aligned Objectives

Existing employees rightly expect career progression and variation in their duties, but this can sometimes mean the focus of effort is on personal goals rather than the organisations objectives. With expertise supplementation you have a clear agreement for capabilities to be delivered and can be assured that the organisation is put first.

Reduced Risk

Utilising expertise supplementation can help you control risks in your organisation as the costs are defined against specific capabilities as well as having a specific end date. This means your organisation is not left transferring previously hired employees to new projects or finding other ways of using their capabilities which may no longer align to the future roadmap of your organisation.
