Sounds like you need a consultant. Let me draft up an SoW and fees and we can begin

Girlsplaining consulting: companies in their flop era hire us for ungodly amounts of money to yessify their problems and we usually use PowerPoints to do it
Pro
We also gaslight companies into thinking something else is wrong and we can fix it but really it’s just more PowerPoints :)

Have you ever copied a friends paper but reworded it so you don’t get caught?
But you get a better grade somehow.
That’s what I do at work, but for “tech strategy”.
I just say what you say but make it sound ✨cool✨

My work is kinda like if a company had a life coach slash therapist, but one who did most of the hard work of change FOR you. So it depends on what a given client is struggling with or needs, then the goal is to basically fix that for them in a sustainable way so it stays fixed. And they pay us money, and they more or less get to take credit for the positive changes (or blame the firm for negative stuff).
Pro
Consultants are frequently someone who has experience in things that a client doesn't, and who comes in and solves a problem or manages a project that is temporary in nature.
The client pays more for the convenience of having an expert for a specified amount of time so that they don't have to hire someone, when having that talent in-house is either too expensive for the long term, or because that talent isn't even available locally.

Nah for sure! I’m just saying haha
