How It Works
JMA provides value in 5 key areas. These are all constant and enable JMA to perpetually improve it’s client service:
1. Scanning – JMA constantly scans the industry and continuously evaluates the most capable, scalable, reliable, valuable, experienced and robust suppliers of specialist skills.
2. Selecting – JMA then hand-picks the true experts and invites them to be part of the ‘Expert Associate’ network. When included, their profile and credentials appear on the JMA site. These are only around 80% of the hand-picked experts as there are others who can be called upon, globally, when a different skill-set is needed.
3. Matching – When a client requires project execution (a new product launch, a cross-discipline campaign, a new department to be created, a new service offering, etc), JMA matches the requirement to the best mix of capability, personality, cost, scale, location and availability. This may be one person, one supplier or multitude of expertise.
4. Managing – Projects are then managed by a single point of contact so the client only needs to deal with one person for all parts. This can be done by a JMA project manager, a this fluid world project manager, a client-side project manager, or a 3rd party.
5. Quality Control – Throughout the process, all expert associates must match the JMA levels of quality assurance. JMA constantly monitors and learns the best match of expertise to continually improve levels of efficiency and quality.

Client’s typically engage JMA to:
1. Understand the type of suppliers of services needed to execute a specific project
2. Gain total clarity on what is available and who is best to work with
3. Avoid wasting time in assessing pitches and RFPs
4. Remove the need to co-ordinate multiple suppliers
These 4 reasons ultimately increase a client’s time and cost efficiency whilst reducing the risk of appointing the wrong suppliers.
