On-Demand Micro Advising: Is It the Future of Business Success?

When in doubt, google it, right? Well, not quite.

Complex business problems often require proper brainstorming, guidance, and careful deliberation, which is not something you can do with the help of a search engine. So what about AI-driven tools?

Generative AI is useful, no doubt about it, but it can return false information and should generally not be used as an advisor – not to mention the confidentiality and security concerns regarding AI tools.

In reality, there’s nothing quite like working with a dedicated, experienced industry professional to solve a unique problem you’re facing.

And that’s exactly where on-demand, micro advising comes in as the perfect solution for when you need expert guidance quickly.

Let’s break it down and talk about this booming industry, what it means for business leaders, and how you can become an expert advisor in your field.

The Rise of Micro Advising

What is micro advising?

Micro or ad-hoc advising, allows advisees to access expertise, knowledge, and skills in real time through one-on-one conferencing. It allows business leaders and professionals from various industries to get real-time support and guidance from external advisors on matters and sticking points they simply can’t overcome on their own.

Skill sharing and the exchange of knowledge and specialized expertise are invaluable in modern times, especially if it can be done quickly – after all, time is money.

And speaking of money, this industry is currently booming across the globe. We are currently looking at a 270 billion dollar market value, with a constant and exponential increase in demand, especially in these fields:

These fields encompass a myriad of specializations and unique problem-solving skills that modern business leaders simply can’t employ in-house.

What they can do, however, is reach out for professional, one-time, or even recurring one-on-one advice from external experts. This kind of outsourcing and ad-hoc guidance will become even more valuable to businesses in the years to come, as organizations start leveraging each of these fields and technologies for growth in a digital world.

But, why not just go the traditional route? Why not post a one-off project on a freelancing platform?

We’re glad you asked.

C2C Advising vs Project-Based Platforms

C2C, or customer-to-customer advising is a more modern solution to pressing issues. A solution that pushes projects forward and empowers leaders to retain their working momentum.

On the other hand, traditional project-based platforms (we’re looking at you, UpWork, and co.) invariably slow down the organization’s workflow.

What’s more important, however, is how business leaders want to solve their problems – through interactive and real-time learning, rather than through projects and emails.

Setting up projects, explaining the problems and what you need, sifting through hundreds of applications, all of this clogs up the workflow and takes the business leader further away from their goal. The goal is to get guidance quickly and solve their problem(s) efficiently.

What’s more, they need a better way to vet these advisors and find the ideal expert for the unique problems they’re facing.

Modern problems require modern solutions, obviously, and that’s how CO-KES came to be.
