- Do you operate a venture capital or private equity funded company playing "beat the clock" racing against time to make your next milestone before you run out of funding?
- Do you have to address your board concerning a stalled product launch?
- Is your firm in a "First to Market" race to commercialize your technology?
- Do regulatory, legal, product development or quality issues have your company bogged down and not meeting its numbers?
Often leaders in organizations find themselves faced with daunting situations:
- One of your top executives leaves suddenly to join the management team at a competitor.
- Your company has expanded and your management team is maxed out and cannot adequately handle the deadlines confronting them.
- Your firm has evolved and the skills that were needed two years ago are not suitable for what the organization needs now.
- New market challenges and new competitive pressures demand new skills not currently available in the organization.
- Mismanagement, incompetence and falling statistics force you to make a change, but you don't have the bench strength to move an internal executive into the now vacant position.
JP Boyle & Associates understands what is at stake in these situations. Potential profits and losses, continued funding and the achievement of strategic goals can all pivot on how executive team building is managed.
The solution for many firms we see in these circumstances is to have a competent executive recruitment partner capable of grasping the concepts and nuances of the situation, and of resolving these issues by bringing in the skilled executive talent necessary, assuring plans and programs will move forward.
To illustrate, a medical device and technology client experienced a rapid growth phase. New management and new vision was demanded as the company had evolved beyond its start-up roots in just a few years. New internal systems needed to be devised to accommodate a more efficient and robust product commercialization process, to radically streamline manufacturing and material processes and to lead a change toward a culture of quality, company-wide.
A systematic appraisal of the business problem, assessing the exact skills needed to address the current situation was done to define the appropriate skills and to roadmap where and in what environment such an individual would likely be.
Working in partnership with our client, we developed their unique and compelling recruiting message. This was highly useful to generate strong interest both in the position and the company, with our target audience.
A top tier, proven executive who was not only acquainted with our client's issues, but who also had successfully implemented corrective actions, and was familiar with change management, methods and best practices, is now part of our client's upper management team. As such, the desired outcome was achieved.
If you are dealing with these or similar business issues that require either additional executive talent or a retooling of your existing leadership team, you need a comprehensive program with clearly defined action steps to bring about your objectives.
We understand that some companies have the resources, personnel and systems in place that consistently deliver these results in house. In this case you likely do not need our help or expertise.
However, if you are confronting these time sensitive business challenges and would like to see if we are a fit for you, please contact us for a consultation.
