There's an old saying - "You don't start a business because you're a good manager. You start a business because you're good at something!" I'm good at network analysis, knowledge management and a few other things, but I'm not so good at growing the business and I'm even worse at seeking business. Fortunately I don't have to seek work - it comes by word of mouth, which is the best sort of work. In fact demand is exceeding supply, so Knowledge Matters™ is recruiting! In recent weeks I've had to turn down have national and international opportunities, including prospects in Canberra, Christchurch and Kathmandu. So are you the person I'm looking for?

In the first instance I'm looking for someone based in Australia to manage and grow the business. You need to be passionate about knowledge management and network analysis, which means you must be personable. I will teach you the necessary skills. You need to be a self-starter who can work with little direction. You must be prepared to back yourself, because your pay will be entirely linked to the work you bring to Knowledge Matters™. I'm even prepared, once you have proven yourself, to transfer part-ownership of Knowledge Matters™ to you. We can agree just what this means and when it will occur up front.

I'm also looking for a pool of people who want periodic work, but don't want the hassle of running their own business and probably don't want to work full-time. Again you must be personable and passionate about knowledge management and network analysis. Of course I will train you, but some conditions will apply.

If you already run your own consultancy or small business, but want to add network analysis skills to your techniques, you might consider a partnering option - let me know.

So are you the right person? Do these opportunities excite you? If so I want to hear from you. Please send me an email telling me why you want the job and what you will bring to Knowledge Matters™. In turn I will respond to every query within a week. Finding the right person, or persons, matters!
