All our associates and partners have basic skill sets for distributed work:

  • Professional, mature, excellent communication: You communicate regularly and clearly in written communication. Often messages are left asynchronously to action on. Depending on your role, you can also present a mature and professional social interaction.
  • Continuously learning: Changing business opportunity may require learning the skills of tomorrow. Things that appear exciting to you will often appear exciting to others too. Your curiosity and propensity to learn is a competitive advantage and more important that what you have already learned.
  • Generalists: The coming together of digital and human tasks in new ways is best tackled by people with a broader, more holistic mindset. Often called generalists, their breadth of exposure provides flexibility to adapt in a fast changing world.
  • Inner drive work ethic: You cannot be the person always waiting to be told what to do and how to do it. You must be the self-starter who loves to initiate and complete new challenges. You often need to start with small steps, prior to eventual growth and success. A smaller business smartly put together with the right tools, systems and culture can produce far greater than its size. It is entirely possible that 20 smart workers can produce the equivalency of 100 outdated workers.

The distributed model even includes a range of capable people with a lot to offer, but sometimes considered outside the box in traditional work systems:

  • Talented women, whether with family priorities or other challenges.
  • Experienced workers, maybe considered too old by the system from their 50’s onwards.
  • Underemployed or unemployed through no fault of their own, but due to a changing economy.
  • Ambitious people in need of more freedom or a good side hustle.
  • People without four year college education, but still good learners and capable to master skills relevant for the global, technological economy.
  • Experienced freelancers or gig workers use to self initiative.
