Deloitte's Pixel (A): Consulting with Open Talent
Deloitte Consulting’s General Manager Balaji Bondili, head of Pixel, considers how best to grow Deloitte Consulting’s use of open (on-demand) talent, as consulting companies and their clients face transformative change in the way client engagements and projects get done. Pixel, started in 2014, helps facilitate open (or on-demand) talent and crowdsourcing for Deloitte Consulting client engagements, to access specific, difficult-to-find expertise, collaborate to develop new products and/or insights, and to design, build, and test new digital assets. Bondili has found some avid users—and evangelists—of Pixel’s services among Deloitte Consulting’s principals, however uptake across the broader organization has been slow, and in some pockets has met with deep resistance.
