imho, kostem can be the platform for freelancers to step up their business.
with kostem, freelancers and sme, can maintain their independence and work on what they love doing, while kostem when it is mature enough can provide the facilities, promotions, marketing, accounting, administration, project financing, tender submissions, etc think of kostem as the administrative overheads, while all the operational business are conducted by the members (either as freelancers or sme). within this eco-system, kostem can be the network to facilitate, regulate, monitor and enforcer for intra-business / intra-activities / joint ventures / sub-contracts between the freelancers and sme, and any external party. representing an sme, i would love to be able to go into the kostem knowledge base, submit a rfp for specialist services, look at the references from the proposer, then using a template conclude on a contract. something like this : http://www.vworker.com/ members should take the opportunity to use kostem to further broaden their range of services by utilisting other expertise within kostem, and also to go for new markets / products / services. if in your mind, you think kostem will be your competitor, then yes, it will be your competitor. but if you want to do more than what you are capable of, then kostem would want to be the first organisation to listen to you. i would really want to see kostem that is capable of bringing out the best from its members and representing them to the external world. we should be looking beyond diskaun / pinjaman / insuran - we should be looking at the bigger mission which is of generating more income for its members.
