info_outline“From Crash to 400% scale in 6 months.” describes the experience of Manuel Pistner best in one sentence. With global virtual teams of freelancers, Manuel Pistner transformed his agency with 43 employees into a global company of over 150 freelancers in 2018. Driven by the enormous shortage of specialists, it was impossible for him to always find and keep the right experts required for complex digital projects. In an increasingly dynamic project environment, a static team could no longer keep up with the required flexibility. Everyday life was characterized by personnel bottlenecks at every corner. Born out of a crash of two projects and inspired by Stanford University studies called “Flash Organizations” and “Flash Teams”, a global virtual team of 23 freelancers provided him with the experts within one day to save his projects and thus his company at the last minute. From this crash, he scaled his company called Bright Solutions to a virtual team of over 150 freelancers in 6 months. A shortage of skilled workers is therefore no longer an issue today. His second company called Flash Hub, which he acquired, was transformed from this experience as well. With Flash Hub, Manuel Pistner systematically builds up virtual teams of freelancers, the right tools and the right workflows for other companies and thus shows companies an effective way to escape the tiresome shortage of skilled workers.
