Strategic business alliances

Terra Nova sometimes engages individual specialists according to their expertise to support the work for specific client projects.

This informal network of relevant professionals extends the "in house" capabilities of this small consulting group as appropriate, instead of retaining full-time junior consulting staff who might be assigned to work because of their availability at the time to assist with the current workload, rather than because of their expertise.
