The company seriously diverges from the initial business plan and has no chance to quickly come back on track. The relationship between the shareholders and the top executive are very tense, cash is running out, and « time is flying ».

A neutral analysis. In order to find a set of solutions, a neutral analysis led by an experimented and external manager is a priority. The manager from FONTENAY MANAGERS receives a mandate from the company in order to make either a short flash operational analysis, or a more extensive operational analysis with a precise action plan, depending on the complexity of the situation.

The point is to bring transparency and to ensure a clear dialogue based on facts between the shareholders and the top executive :

  1. The difficulties have been identified and the support from FONTENAY MANAGERS has been sufficient to start again on a new basis.
  1. A support mission to the top executive is necessary to revitalize the company’s performance. The manager from FONTENAY MANAGERS stands by the side of the top executive and offers his support to analyze the weaknesses and strengths of the company, in order to reach newly defined objectives.
  1. The top executive must be replaced. A manager from FONTENAY MANAGERS becomes the
    operational manager of the company temporarily, in order to implement the necessary measures and recruit a new top executive. FONTENAY MANAGERS takes over the legal representation if necessary.

FONTENAY MANAGERS is entrusted by the investors and will propose the more adequate solution to the problem met.

A PROFESSIONAL TRANSITION MANAGER INSTEAD OF AN INTERIM MANAGER: rectifying a negative trend in the company requires capacity of judgment, courage and speed. The knowledge of the economic sector is necessary to develop the company through a long term vision. But when it is necessary to lead a vigorous action on a short term period of time, the professional transition manager is used to this kind of situation and has the adequate reaction, which cannot be improvised.
