Operational general management

FONTENAY MANAGERS can exercise the general management of the company temporarily in case of :

• management deficiency,

• sale of the company, major changes,

• turnaround,

• restructuring.

For each of these situations, the point is to bring the company from a state A (current situation) to a state B (achievement of an objective, new top executive, resale etc.). FONTENAY MANAGERS' mission is to add value in a limited period of time. It is not simply an interim nor ordinary transitional management. Used to dealing with this kind of situation, the manager from FONTENAY MANAGERS knows how to make the company improve in the long term.

The point is to get the staff to support the project, whereas they are most of the time disturbed by the situation. Knowing how to listen to the staff, emphasizing their knowledge of the job, bringing solutions to their problem, defining reachable objectives during the time of the mission, are FONTENAY  MANAGERS' qualities.

This mission starts with an operational analysis and an action plan. This exercise can be driven before the mission, or alternatively during the mission if it is urgent. Specific success fees can be determined. Depending to the situation, FONTENAY MANAGERS may accept or not the legal representation.

Whereas an interim manager may be willing to stay long into the job, the manager from FONTENAY MANAGERS will always think of preparing the end of his mission. Only very experimented professionals are able to deal with such a particular management style.
