Research Adjacent Directory

Why hire an independent research-adjacent professional?

Specialist knowledge and skills

Freelancers are masters of their craft. You could spend days trying to edit a video, design an infographic or plan a training session – or you could just hire an expert and get it done for you!

Get an external perspective

Independent professionals can cut through the noise and see what is really important. They will also be working across many similar organisations so can see how you fit into the big picture.

Manage short-term workload stress

Temporary support is ideal when you have a surge in workload due to an event, deadline or challenges like staff absence. Freelancers can help keep things on track.

Generate excitement and boost motivation

If you are struggling to get colleagues engaged then sometimes bringing in an external supplier can reinvigorate the process.
