Interim Management Approach: Entry, Diagnosis, Proposal, Implementation, Exit.

Our organizational structure system outlines how certain activities are directed in order to achieve the goals of your organization. These activities can include rules, roles, and responsibilities.

Having the correct organizational structure in place allows your company teams to communicate with efficiency and remain focused to the target.

Step 1: Set strategic priorities in the design of the organization by applying DMAIC methodology. 

Step 2: Align the functional structure of the organization by Designing or Redesigning the Organizational Chart.

Our support goes far beyond candidate placement; once hired, we can assist further with candidate’s onboarding & integration focusing on the transition of the new leader.

The appointment of any leader to a new role is critical, regardless of whether he or she is an internal or external hire and especially when we are facing an industry-wide shortage of qualified managers. Therefore, many companies are forced to reward internally or hire externally in management or supervisory positions, individuals which are actually not prepared to succeed in that role. 

Stakeholders expect new leaders to deliver results very quickly after beginning their roles. 

However, who will focus exclusively on helping them develop new skills required to adjust to their new roles? 

Who will help them understand the current company culture, build trust in his or her team and work closely with these leaders in order to make a great impact to the organization?
