The way transformation teams operate is changing. More organisations are embracing hybrid consulting models, blending employees, consulting firms, and independent contractors to build agile, high-performing teams. 📊 According to Harvard Business Review, non-employees made up 45% of transformation teams in 2022 - a figure set to rise as businesses prioritise flexibility, expertise, and results-driven approaches. So, what’s driving this shift? From evolving workforce trends to board-level demands for efficiency, hybrid models are becoming the new standard for transformation success.
