In today’s fast-paced business environment, small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) face challenges that often limit their ability to scale and compete with larger enterprises. But what if we could change that?

💡 Enter the Group Consulting Organization (GCO) model, an innovative approach that leverages the collective power of SMBs through AI-driven consulting strategies across supply chain, sourcing and procurement, operations, sales & marketing, and more. Think of it as aggregating demand and insights to unlock the same strategic advantages that large enterprises enjoy.

Thanks to advancements in AI from platforms like OpenAI, we now have the tools to:

• Aggregate consulting needs across hundreds or thousands of SMBs, enabling them to access expert advice, procurement discounts, and operational efficiencies usually reserved for large corporations.
• Offer AI-powered insights tailored to each SMB’s specific challenges, improving efficiency, reducing costs, and driving profitability.
• Level the playing field for SMBs by providing scalable solutions that enhance their operations without requiring massive budgets.

🌍 Why now? With OpenAI's advanced capabilities, we can quickly analyze vast amounts of data to provide customized solutions to SMBs, making group consulting more powerful and scalable than ever before. The knowledge base around best practices, one of the traditional entry barriers in consulting, is being revolutionized in the OpenAI era.

The GCO model represents a significant opportunity for industries like tech, fintech, supply chain, logistics, and retail to help SMBs thrive. As we pilot and develop this concept, we can create a future where businesses of all sizes benefit from cutting-edge consulting and operational strategies.
