Interim Executive, Leadership and Management
As part of the natural growth and development of an SME or family firm, the founder will look to take their firm to next level; and start to think about building a senior leadership ‘team’ with the expertise and experience to help plan and deliver strategic, transformational and operational objectives; and drive further growth and development.
The deployment of interim executive, leadership and management personnel can add flexible, cost effective operational value to an SME or family firm, and through the expertise and experience of a senior level person, author and deliver real competitive advantage, transformation, innovation and organisational excellence.
Our bespoke interim executive, leadership and management services are focused on providing your organisation with the senior talent which will fit your organisation and provide you with the specialist and prioritised business, commercial or functional expertise and experience you seek to successfully author and drive the next phase of your organisational growth and development.
Our pool of senior level interim executives brings to firms exceptional business, commercial, leadership, management, project management and consulting added value; combining international senior level, multidisciplinary military, blue chip corporate and corporate, with specialist SME and family firms’ expertise and experience.
Leadership and Management Regimes
For both new start-ups and accelerated growth SME’s, especially those in areas such as professional services, technology, innovation and disruption, initial technical expertise may not translate into high-performance leadership and management expertise or experience. Within such an environment, areas such as compliance, governance and regulatory may not only be unfamiliar and challenging, but if the appropriate foundations and cultures are not laid, can potentially have catastrophic impact down the line.
With our outstanding depth and breadth of specialist multidisciplinary and SME experience. We have the expertise to support your organisation by authoring and delivering bespoke leadership, management, governance and compliance regimes and frameworks, so you can focus on what you do best, whilst resting assured that best practice leadership, management and compliance foundations are in place.
A HUMAN PERSPECTIVE
As a firm that is proudly people and talent focused, our specialist SME people and talent services never forget about the human dimension of organisations; and so our SME people and talent services are always founded upon seeing human capital as the drivers of a dynamic high-performance culture which is not only people and talent focused, but genuinely places human factors at the heart and soul of the organisation.
In our people and talent services and consulting we proactively place humanity and human factors at the heart of what we do, drawing upon lessons learnt from some of the highest performance and people focused best practice cultures and organisations in the world.
AN ALTERNATIVE WORKFORCE
Access to and actively using diverse people and talent sources can reap rich dividends for organisations; ranging from the deployment of flexible, just in time contract and project specific expertise and experience, through reducing operational risk, to maximising financial cost effectiveness. The potential to achieve such dividends can only properly be achieved by taking a strategic rather than a transactional approach.
We are here to help organisations achieve these dividends.
