A special issue: Here's a guest issue by @tomcritchlow offering a second opinion on sparring-based consulting. Sparring as Tenure:https://artofgig.substack.com/p/sparring-as-tenure …
I've had a few long-running clients use me to sort of open up another channel of management with their teams, by having me do a series of 1:1 sessions with them etc. I think of it is as sparring++ since I typically don't have any line management style responsibilities

My shorthand for this model is to call it ‘embedded’ since client and consultant both effectively shadow one another and often there’s a pilot or POC within the assignment that entails a process walk... refiguring the way things have historically been done.

here, Tom and Venkatesh!
I’d like to chip in two cents on my view at the ~20 years indie mark, where niche forms of doing (or supervisory doing) stage an important comeback, and are the proving grounds, and prompt!, to a kind of sparring...
That is not always where I live, to be sure. But it’s the trend line on my best, most satisfying, and probably most lasting and appreciated work.
