The Internet Gold rush is well under way. And you are in the business of selling tools and know-how to the miners. Your fate does not rest on the success or failure of some untried business model or finding the next mother load. As long as there are people out prospecting, you can prosper. The good news is that the number of prospectors is growing every day. The bad news is that the number is rising so quickly that you can't grow fast enough to keep up with the demand.

But matching capacity with demand has always been a problem. Even before internet fever hit, you constantly found yourself out of balance. If things were a little slow, you had people sitting on the bench—a fixed cost gnawing away at your margins. Then a large project would come along and you didn't have enough people to handle it. Of course you took the job anyway, hoping to backfill with new hires. Sometimes things worked out. Other times they didn't, leading to missed deadlines and unhappy clients, not to mention a lot of stress for you and your people. Then the engagement was over and you had even more people on the sidelines. You considered cutting back but didn't want to lower morale nor be shorthanded for the next big project. Thus the cycle of boom and bust continued.

Admittedly the situation today is much more boom than it is bust. The result is that your major assets—skilled developers—are in very short supply. You're competing with everyone in the labor market, from the pre-IPO startup to the traditional brick-and-mortar company scrambling to stake a claim in the new economy. In addition, the laws of supply and demand are driving compensation and your fixed costs through the roof. Even recent grads, a traditional source of relatively cheap labor, are demanding near six-figure salaries with options to boot. What's more frightening is that you're in constant danger of your intellectual capital being lured away by the next attractive signing bonus. What would the loss of a few key people mean to the multimillion-dollar B2B engagement that is already behind schedule? More importantly, how many opportunities are you going to pass up because you don't have the right people when you need them?
