Support to the top executive

Temporary support to the general management when the executive has to face :

• a special difficulty, or a difficult period,

• a strategic project,

• a lack of experience in a particular field.

In general, SMEs are not organized to take benefit of a consultant or simply do not have the financial resources to call a consultant. Actually, the support should be given directly to the general management. The required support should be generalist, pragmatic, down to earth instead of highly technical.

The starting point of the mission is an analysis of the company’s operations in general or of a more specific field:

• in a few days, flash operational analysis,

• alternatively, it can be an operational analysis and an action plan.

The operational analysis gathers the staff's energies around the project. The manager from FONTENAY MANAGERS remains at the top executive's disposal and will assist him. His field of action and his place into the organization must be clearly defined in order to avoid any misunderstanding amongst the teams.

Thanks to his neutral role, the manager from FONTENAY MANAGERS has the right place to propose the adequate changes and avoid the current problems that take place within organizations, such as:

• blocked situations,

• a priori assumptions,

• power fights.

FONTENAY MANAGERS' COMMITMENTS:

• To follow a clear objective through the mission.

• To report the evolution of the mission based on the road map.

• To respect the top executive.

• To spare time and money while dealing with the mission: part time mission for example.

• Never to impose any commitment to the company that exceeds one month.
