Solution Broker Service

What is the problem?

You are faced with a problem, project or an opportunity where the solution is neither very clear nor likely to be found within your current network of suppliers and contacts.  

The problem may have to be solved by someone outside your current network of service providers.

How can I help?

• As a solutions broker, I'm happy to take the risk and invest some time to understand your problem.
• Once I get a rough idea of the problem, then I will ruminate on that for a few days and get back to with a "Yes I can help" or "No I can't" answer.
• The most common solutions I broker are; 1. Project Resources (i.e specialist or a team) 2. A system, tool or a methodology 
• You don't pay me anything, if I managed to broker the right solution, then I get paid from the suppliers.  It's a three way win,  for you, me and the supply team. 
• Most of my supply teams are niche technology solution providers; they are extremely good in what they do but weak at getting out and promoting themselves. Thus, I'm known as 'the voice of the small guy'.
