Collaborating with the Spend Matters team, developing research and perspectives on the future of the contingent workforce, including the rise of freelancers and independent contractors as a complement to traditional staffing models--especially the role of technology in procuring both people and “outcomes” and what the shift to an increasingly non-employee centric workforce means for the future of organizations of all types.
