Your Partner in Change
Industries and companies are going through a significant transitional period due to the economic and financial environment. This has led to an on-demand economy where you can choose to select almost everything including services, software, hardware, platforms, and now executive management, on a demand basis.
One of the greatest challenges facing companies is being able to manage change and business transitions quickly and effectively. As companies focus on their core competencies and their organizations flatten out, they often lack the management depth needed to address different urgent issues that require immediate attention. Many companies are also re-evaluating the need to maintain several high-cost C-level executives on their staff, when they really only need an internal core executive team. As a result, they are adopting more flexible and, in most cases, cost-effective staffing approaches like on-demand managers.
Unlock Competitive Advantage With On-Demand Management
Companies and private equity are looking for new ways to stay more competitive, control costs, and increase value with a core management team. That’s where On Demand Managers come in to fill the expertise gap based on an on-demand project-by-project basis where industry expertise, executive leadership, and quick action are necessary to bring the desired results. In addition, many jobs are not ‘permanent’ and in fact may disappear at the conclusion of an assignment (e.g. implementing enterprise resource planning modules, selection of critical technology vendors, integrating mergers, acquisitions and divestitures, going through significant sales cycles with clients or partners, going through compliance/audit and certifications, raising funds and requiring senior technology leaderships, etc.).
On Demand Managers are different from consultants in that they deliver on all fronts – they are objective, experienced at execution and immediately available to focus on the client’s issues. Consultancies typically employ bright graduates and MBAs and look to provide thought leadership and recommendations on assigned projects. Whereas, On Demand Managers are key executives with C-Level experience who work in the role of internal change managers focused on delivering short-term results and clear plans to successfully execute the company strategy. Today, on-demand managers are deployed in a range of executive roles and can provide a viable alternative to management consultants, usually at a fraction of the cost.
