  • In knowledge industries, people advance in their careers because they offer a level of technical expertise that distinguishes them from others. They thrive as experts. However, as a technical expert rises through the ranks of their organization, they're increasingly asked to lead other technical experts, typically outside their area of expertise. This is the journey from expert to orchestrator. 

    A key function in professional services and other knowledge-intensive businesses is to orchestrate human talent, first and foremost. That is why we describe leaders in professional services and others, other knowledge-intensive businesses as orchestrators.. 

    The Competitive Advantage Accelerator measures, benchmarks, and supports the transition from technical expert to orchestrator.
