Site closure, subsidiary in difficulty, poor results for shareholders, absence of the manager… When a company is faced with a crisis situation, whether financial, social or operational, urgency takes precedence. The tense situation requires strong technical skills and a leadership temperament to assess the situation, find allies inside and outside the organization, make the right decisions, and assume the difficult choices with conviction. To respond to this type of situation, a very experienced manager who has already operated turnarounds in similar environments is essential. We have in our pool these skills that can be immediately mobilized.

It differs from a classic recruitment where the manager will be more appreciated on his “in the making” skills than on his operational qualities and his ability to integrate immediately.

Each mission has its own specific Transition Manager. There is no standard solution. Listening and understanding our customers is our first concern, the choice and our conviction to present you with the best manager is our objective because only the result counts.
