Flexible Executive Solutions

Our professionals are not career consultants. In fact, they have gained their knowledge and network over long and successful careers in Fortune 50, mid-market, and start-ups. Many are financially independent, but the drive to deliver results keeps them in the game. Each executive has chosen to apply their knowledge and experience as an “on demand manager” and is matched with the particular demands of our clients. Their experience enables them to join any team in a non-threatening manner and apply immediate, real time solutions to complex operational issues. Our candidates are former CEO’s, CIO’s, CTO’s, CISO’s, COO’s, CRO’s and senior VP’s of various disciplines in the Healthcare, Hospitality, Manufacturing, Technology and other industries.

What are some situations where On Demand Manager Can Help?

There are many situations where the use of an objective, experienced on demand manager makes sense.

Private equity firms often face senior management issues with portfolio companies. On Demand Managers can work well, particularly when there isn't time to complete a retained search and the prospect of an exit mitigates in favor of a flexible solution, avoiding the expense of bringing in an executive, including a signing bonus and other expenses following a change of control.
Global multinationals frequently face "distance management issues" at foreign subsidiaries, where they lack the bench strength needed to deal with the setup and running of the distant subsidiary. On Demand Managers can provide the key executive with the necessary experience within a few working days to lead the company through the period of transition and stabilize things until a permanent solution can be implemented.
On Demand Managers can also provide local expertise for an international company thinking of coming into a new country to see if the business is likely to work before committing a permanent senior executive to run the team.
Position in transition, where the skill sets that are needed today are different from what will be needed once things have been stabilized. The On Demand Manager can manage the organization through the period of transition and then provide mentoring to the permanent executive based on knowledge gained during the interim assignment.
Companies can move on poor performers sooner, by inserting an interim executive who can advance the change agenda and cover the position until a permanent replacement can be identified.
An industry expert is needed to steer the company through a geographical or product portfolio expansion, an acquisition, or to oversee a divestiture.
Projects of limited duration or specific skill sets that do not require a permanent senior executive. Companies are increasing their use of temporary experts for project management and execution. For example, a CIO or CTO might be the right senior technology leader today but might not have the right skills as the company evolves and the business objectives and opportunities change in 12 months.
There is a scarcity of managers with top management experience. On Demand Managers can be used as mentors to assist with the development process until the team members are ready to take the helm at the company.
