# Dorie Clark

**Role in the source.** Co-author of the HBR article *"5 Questions Leaders Should Ask Before Turning to Fractional Work,"* written jointly with [[entity-joy-batra]]. The article carries a unified authorial voice — every claim, framework, and quote is attributed to both authors.

**Profile.** Marketing-strategy consultant and executive-education instructor at [[entity-columbia-business-school|Columbia Business School]]. Named one of the **Top 50 business thinkers in the world** by [[entity-thinkers50|Thinkers50]]. Author of *[[entity-the-long-game|The Long Game]]* (subtitle: *How to Be a Long-Term Thinker in a Short-Term World*). Her canonical identity centers on *strategy, personal branding, and long-term career design* — which surfaces in the article's emphasis on building a *substantively coherent* [[concept-portfolio-career]] aligned with a leader's long-term trajectory.

**Attributed contributions to this vault** (jointly with [[entity-joy-batra]]):
- The overall five-question decision architecture [[framework-fractional-evaluation]].
- The claims [[claim-single-income-risk]], [[claim-fractional-operational-nature]], and [[claim-dual-market-drivers]].
- The portfolio-design logic in [[concept-portfolio-career]] and the sustainability discipline in [[concept-capacity-buffering]].
- Direct quotes [[quote-ai-layoff-anxiety]], [[quote-fractional-fit]], [[quote-minimum-infrastructure]], and [[quote-single-income-risk]].
