The Cottingame Company

Develop stable relationships aligned with company goals

Virtual Organizations

'Virtual' employees have a place in organizations where specialized expertise is not required often enough to justify a fulltime position or where management simply prefers to avoid adding overhead.

The key to success in developing a virtual organization lies in identifying people who are well-established as independent contractors yet also well-suited to working as members of a managed team. Our proprietary Assessment, Alignment, and Pacing methods provide the means to reliably identify suitable participants, stabilize relationships among all team members, and align them all with the organization and its goals.

The enterprise benefits from the same stable sets of relationships available to the conventional organization while paying only for the actual work done by virtual employees. The same structure can be put in place using subcontracting organizations as well as individuals.
