Team Augmentation: A Valuable Asset in the Corporate Sector

Team Augmentation is a significant part of society, a business approach of outsourcing that involves forming a project team to address the company's objectives. Today, companies hire external personnel or contingent workers who are experienced, and knowledgeable to assist them in any projects that require more manpower or skills for a fixed period.

According to various reports and surveys, contingent work or freelancing is a common practice due to the rise of freelancing platforms globally and agencies supporting contingent workers. According to various sources, 34% of people in the US are working as freelancers and the number continues to grow.

Team Augmentation is a very effective strategy, given that it is used wisely. What are the components of Team Augmentation and how it can prove to be exceptionally beneficial to a corporation or you, let's explore.

Types of Team Augmentation services

Skilled

In this category, companies select workers who possess the exact skills that are required for a particular project or task. These workers are then selected for a fixed period of time and save the companies both time and resources that would be used if they were to train their own team or recruit new employees for the same skill sets. 

It is important that the person selecting people must ensure that the right amount of workers with the right skills and knowledge are being employed. Relationship management is also necessary when you are about to bring a new person into your team for a particular time period as it is essential to maintain a steady professional relationship. These relationships last for a long time and are extremely beneficial for the future.

Commodity

The people employed under this category are not required to possess any specific skills or qualifications. They are employed for jobs such as retail, clerical work, testing, manual labor, etc.

Highly skilled

This category includes team augmentation of highly skilled people who have wide experience and knowledge. They are extremely efficient and have many other fine qualities which make them ideal for large and complex projects. 

Where do you need Team Augmentation?

The following are some of the situations or conditions which require you to hire external workers for assistance.

There are many times when you need extra hands on the deck to finish a project before the deadline. With additional help from experienced and skilled workers coming in handy, not only will you be able to complete your projects on time, you will be able to handle unexpected situations in a much more practical way. Having an additional team that is skilled contributes more to the company in many ways. 

Skills are the most crucial asset today. This is one of the main principles which form the basis for the recruitment of workers in a company. Skilled workers are especially important as they give a boost to the working of the corporations that employ them. 

Providing additional skills that come with the augmented team fills the gap that might be present in the team. You can even invite a professional to train the team or equip them with additional skills. It enhances the human resource capabilities of corporations.

The augmented team helps you in completing the tasks on hand, delivering the projects on time, providing training to the new recruits, getting them acquainted, and providing them with advanced skills. As well as accomplishing your task, you can focus on hiring new employees for your company while also working on the project. As a result, you'll save time, energy, and resources.

Benefits of Team Augmentation

Skilled Force

Team Augmentation is a great way to explore the vast amount of talented people that are available all around you. As people are focusing more on gaining new skills and inventing various technologies, they get to connect with people who are skilled, talented, hard-working, and knowledgeable. You can easily select individuals or an entire team depending on the complexity of your projects.

Flexibility

Different projects require different qualities, objectives, and skills. You might have people who are highly qualified and multitalented but only some are useful in all projects that you undertake. Having Team Augmentation not only gives you freedom but also flexibility in this area. You can easily choose, replace, or remove workers whenever you have completed the task or need additional support.

Time and Cost-effective

People dedicated to a specific task add quality and efficiency to the team resulting in a much better outcome which is a positive sign for your company. By providing expertise and critical analysis, they are able to take your company to a higher level. As an additional advantage, you don’t have to fret upon training them, which saves you lots of time and labor.

Conclusion

Team Augmentation is an amazingly successful strategy that is employed by a lot of global corporations. It is a great choice when you have a need for extra help or when you are looking for expert advice. Rather than hiring new people every time, connect with these people who possess those qualities and capabilities you look for, that too for however long you need them, be it a short-term project or a larger much more complex one.

(TW: BLOOD) Long awaited!! Or maybe not. But I’ve been working on this for a while and I’m very excited that it’s finished!! My oh so lovely boys,,,

[lesbianelsas]

"I think Rhaenyra is primarily motivated by a deep desire to be known and seen." (x)

"She definitely yearns for the old physical intimacy that they shared. It’s different from what she shares with her current husband and her children. A different form of contact." (x)

"I feel like Rhaenyra is a character who really, really struggles as an autonomous agent. She actually requires at least one person to make an ultimate act of devotion in order for her to find confidence and independence." (x)

"Honestly, I think initially there was just such a desire to connect. I think what you see initially is intimacy, and an intimacy that Rhaenyra shares so rarely." (x)

I’ve seen too many posts on Rhaenyra ‘continuing the cycle of Viserys’ weakness’ or ‘being a bad mother’ without considering the bad writing of House of the Dragon and I am fed up with it. Rhaenyra’s motherhood being stripped from her was nothing more than ignorant and (at times) malicious writing, it is not a true aspect of her character.

First, considering the “parallel” between Viserys and Rhaenyra - where neither truly support their heir’s position - it should be pretty apparent that this wasn’t intentional. The writers clearly had NO understanding of how they wrote Viserys, which in turn meant they didn’t understand how they wrote Rhaenyra. Even back in Season 1, consider the fact that it was the fandom that noticed how weak Viserys was in supporting Rhaenyra, there was little to no framing of this at all from the show itself. He’s portrayed as a man who wished for his family to get along, but failed because they refused to do so - not because of his lack of decision making.

In Episode 8, he’s desperately trying to bring his family together one last time, and he is portrayed as someone who is not at fault; regardless of the fact that he was clearly much too late to change anything, this is a heroic act. Viserys is not at fault, it was Alicent who misheard him, the council who usurped Rhaenyra. Viserys was a ‘good’ man, and the weak and politically terrible attempts he made to secure her succession are instead framed as strong and wise decisions.

Even back in the earlier episodes, this is obvious. When he sends Rhaenyra out on her tour for a husband, this is made out as Viserys helping her. Rhaenyra is terrified of marriage and the childbed, but his ignorance of such isn’t considered at all by the show. And when he sends off Otto, this is shown as an amazing decision that showed his clear protectiveness of Rhaenyra - even though he then took away her choice, sold her off to a man who would have a hard time giving her children, and took away one of the only family members she felt she could rely on. Truly incredible.

And even further back, when Viserys is stubbornly acting as if nothing is wrong during the carriage ride to the hunt, this is framed as Rhaenyra being difficult, not Viserys’ lack of consideration for her feelings. The show had very little idea of who they made Viserys out to be.

In Episode 10, this idea becomes more forceful through Rhaenyra’s sovereignty.

“Rhaenyra is very much her father’s daughter…the way she approaches her duties as sovereign is much more in line with Viserys” - Ryan Condal, Inside the Episode

Viserys is not viewed as weak. He’s a “peaceful” and “good” ruler, one who should be emulated. Season 2 not only confirms this, but also encourages it.

“Do you never think of your father? His…forbearance, his…judiciousness, his…his dignity.” - Otto Hightower, S02E03

“You sound like my father.” - Rhaenyra to Daemon, S02E08

This means that the idea that Rhaenyra’s parenting is a result of Viserys’ is nonexistent. How can her parenting be weak when her father’s wasn’t either? This is a parallel that comes from the fandom, it has no real meaning in the story. That’s not to say the writers weren’t putting Rhaenyra in a situation where her parenting could be questioned - because they were - but this is not a true parallel, it does not exist to affect or even foreshadow the plot.

Rhaenyra does not continue this cycle of weakness. In fact, if the writers or the fandom understood the relationship between Viserys & Alicent’s family, and Rhaenyra & Daemon’s family, they would have understood that Rhaenyra would break any cycle created.

This brings me to the next point - Rhaenyra is not a bad mother. She is being stripped of her motherhood, yes, but she is not a bad one.

Regardless of book or show, it is clear that Rhaenyra raised a good family. In the book Jace, Luke, and Joffrey are noble, caring, and perfect as any man in Westeros could be. Aegon as well, kept constantly by Rhaenyra’s side, is noted to be a good person, even if traumatized. And with no other consistent parenting figure, GRRM clearly credits this to Rhaenyra. The fact that every one of the children she raised turned out so well was not unintentional writing.

When the Prince of Dragonstone took his dragon back into the cold autumn sky, he did so with the knowledge that he had won three powerful lords and all their bannermen for his mother. Though his fifteenth nameday was still half a year away, Prince Jacaerys had proved himself a man, and a worthy heir to the Iron Throne.

His brother Lucerys agreed. “Our uncle calls us Strongs, but when the lords see us on dragonback they will know that for a lie. Only Targaryens ride dragons.” Mushroom tells us the Sea Snake grumbled at this, insisting the three boys were Velaryon, yet he smiled as he said this…“My lord, I am not free to marry,” he replied. “I am betrothed to my cousin Rhaena.”

Prince Joffrey, three-and-ten, donned squire’s armor and begged the queen to let him ride to the Dragonpit and mount Tyraxes. “I want to fight for you, Mother, as my brothers did. Let me prove that I am as brave as they were.”

“There will be no progress.” [Aegon] declared… “I mean to give the smallfolk peace and love and justice.”

And when it comes to protecting her children - well, there is no doubt that she supported their ascension.

Ser Vaemond Velaryon, protested that the inheritance by rights should pass to him…on the grounds that Rhaenyra’s sons were bastards sired by Harwin Strong. The princess was not slow in answering this charge. She dispatched Prince Daemon to seize Ser Vaemond, had his head removed, and fed his carcass to her dragon, Syrax.

“Bastard blood, shed at war,” Alicent replied… The Dowager Queen’s words only fanned the flames of Rhaenyra’s wroth. “I will hear no more lies,” she warned. “Speak again of bastardy, and I will have your tongue out.”

In the show, while these events are somewhat removed/haven’t happened yet, they are somewhat present in S1. Rhaenyra drags herself through the Red Keep minutes after childbirth to ensure Joffrey is safe by her side. She threatens Aemond to keep her son safe, and takes a dagger to the arm to keep Alicent from harming him. When it came to Luke’s succession being threatened, she was willing to beg her father to protect her and her children. She gives a small nod to Daemon, asking him to take Vaemond’s head. She clearly does her best to protect her children in Season 1.

Rhaenyra, also unlike Viserys, ensures her children all love each other. While she had a terrible relationship with her own half-siblings in part because Viserys never cared to ensure Alicent couldn’t influence them against Rhaenyra, the half-sibling children of Rhaenyra clearly do not feel the same animosity.

The Prince of Dragonstone also had a care for the safety of his half-brothers, Aegon and Viserys, aged nine and seven. Their father, Prince Daemon, had made many friends in the Free City of Pentos during his visits there, so Jacaerys reached across the narrow sea to the prince of that city, who agreed to foster the two boys until Rhaenyra had secured the Iron Throne.

Viserys’ return did much to lessen the king’s loneliness as well. As a boy, Aegon had worshipped his three elder half-brothers.

Rhaenyra is not a continuation of Viserys. She is his opposite. She ensures her sons grow up kind and noble, unlike Viserys’ sons who grow callous and cruel to all. She protects her sons from threats of succession, unlike Viserys who sought to please both Rhaenyra and Alicent, putting her in danger. She ensures all her children grow up as one family with no wish to overthrow one another, whereas Rhaenyra’s own half siblings did usurp her. It is very clear in the book that Rhaenyra raised and protected her children in the way Viserys never truly did for her.

Now, in House of the Dragon, the writers changed this aspect of her in two ways in Season 2: by removing her children from her side, and by making Rhaenyra choose the throne over her children.

In the first one, this is easily seen when Rhaenyra willingly sends off all of her children to the Vale. Rather than have this orchestrated by Jacaerys, she sends them off herself, and says that she cannot be a mother to them. To add to this, Rhaenyra hardly has any time with the children, leaving the scenes between them rather cold. We also see the way that Jace, Joffrey, Aegon, and Viserys do not mix. They are not in the same scenes most of the time, or they do not interact with one another.

This was mostly just because Condal only cared to develop the Team Green kids over Team Black’s, but it was also set up in order to make the next change easier - and to make sure the audience wouldn’t question it.

The second change was deliberate, and intended to take away Rhaenyra’s motherhood. When they created the dragonseed situation, they specifically gave it to Rhaenyra to carry out in order to put her in a position between power and her children. As if somehow she could not come to a compromise.

She can have the throne or the children, not both.

This show has a serious problem with female autonomy and illegitimate children, so this was done for a reason. To portray bastards as some sort of “sin” that must be given up in order to gain something “righteous.” In the books they cause her 0 problems - the Greens usurped her because of misogyny, the bastardy was simply their cover up that no one else cared to believe, even on their own team.

Ser Criston Cole spoke up. Should the princess reign, he reminded them, Jacaerys Velaryon would rule after her. “Seven save this realm if we seat a bastard on the throne.” He spoke of Rhaenyra’s wanton ways and the infamy of her husband. “They will turn the Red Jeep into a brothel. No man’s daughter will be safe, nor any man’s wife. Even the boys…we know what Laenor was.”

This is changed in the show, where the children are the problem, not the misogyny. This much has been clear throughout both seasons, but it is actively encouraged in Season 2, where the writers’ bigotry and hatred for Team Black was let loose.

They do not like Rhaenyra, and they don’t seem to particularly care for how much this characteristic of hers was loved by the audience. They also don’t like Jace, Luke, or Joff much because they are rather bastardphobic (how that exists now I don’t know, but this show has revealed just how many people believe it). So the writers indulged in their fantasies by taking away one of Rhaenyra’s best characteristics, and by portraying the Velaryon boys as uncompromisable obstacles to the throne just because of their birth. Therefore giving themselves a way to portray Rhaenyra as a narcissistic and religious woman who cares more about power than other people.

This is not Rhaenyra. This is the writers using her face to force in their own political and social ideas - just as they’ve done for Jace and Rhaenys. Rhaenyra’s unintentional parallel to Viserys means nothing, and is just a disguise the fandom made up to let the writers get away with their misogynistic writing. Rhaenyra was written as loving, protective mother, and to consider her otherwise is to engage in the writers’ misogyny, nothing else.

Backstory? eh, might work on it. Long and short of it is he might've done some crimes and faked his death to escape consequences so Otto probably isn't even his real name.... But I mean, that's pretty par for the course, huh? anyways BULLETPOINT TIME !!!!

works for Hoch. Helps decide what goes on RED's books and what stays under the operating table, if you know what I mean.

Head of forensic analysis and carries out dissections of dead experiments and unexpected respawn failure mutations.

Has taken up many duties around the lab. He likes to keep himself busy. Keep his brain from wandering off.

power-napper 5000

makes too much eye contact

One of those people that will remember everything down to the finest detail. He's always watching. Always listening. Hoch's favorite snitch.

He's also incapable of lying about events he's witnessed. He has a very strong desire to be correct when it comes to those things, and extremely obvious tells.

Oh, speaking of Hoch, Otto thinks he could take him.

No, not in a fight.
