Our Mission

More and more companies are turning to interim executives to fill gaps in leadership and expertise. We respond to your needs over and above the day-to-day situation. We fix problems, put out fires, resolve a crisis. From culture to personnel, we provide trustworthy, dependable help for various situations facing every organization.

We are not simply consultants using the traditional consultant model. We don't just study a problem and then hand it off. We help clarify what you want and then implement it. 

Let us take day-to-day operational responsibilities off your plate so you can do what you got into business for in the first place. With respect for your bottom line goals, and desire for healthy team dynamics, we will handle these operational obligations for you without missing a beat. Free up your time for other priorities that deserve your attention. Let us focus on things like training, leadership development, company culture and employee engagement.

“We are professional problem solvers who make things happen. We bring in experienced C-suite people - people who have been chief operating officers, heads of HR, not your usual freelancers - when we take on an assignment. People who have had long and deep experience. ”
— Dave Liefeld, Managing Director

When it makes sense

  • When you've lost a key executive and need to keep a division or function running until exactly the right permanent person is found to fill the position.
  • When you can't justify hiring a full-time executive to achieve a specific goal.  i.e. an HR professional to establish better procedures or better training.
  • When you need a professional to lay the groundwork for someone within the company to take over later.
  • When you need a specific experience that is not currently available within the company.
  • When you need quick results from a reliable and proven professional during difficult or tense transitions.
  • When you need a trustworthy partner to navigate a tricky situation or large scale change.
  • When you need to break through business culture issues and unify leaders.
  • When you need to position your company for new ownership and make it more sale-able. 
  • When you can't plan too far in advance and need alternative hiring strategies.
  • When you need to implement a succession plan and are looking for stable transition help.
  • When you want to be more economical in the long run without paying hiring fees, benefits, or insurance - but you still need premium executive services.
  • When a top executive leaves suddenly and you need stable leadership and presence.
  • When you need someone with hard and soft skills that you can trust and feel comfortable with to be able to move forward or make a tough decision.
  • When you are buying a company and are in need of objective on-site evaluation.

WHY IT MAKES SENSE

  • Because we pay close attention to the stories people tell. We give them tools to resolve problems. We achieve outcomes that are more than they hoped for. 
  • Because we listen for the desire for something new, for healthy conditions that don't exist, and then help create frameworks that would make these conditions possible.
  • Because together we work as a team facing challenges that call for a new approach. First, bringing them conceptually to life on the whiteboard, and then rolling them out in a way that brings both buy-in and enthusiasm.
  • Because we believe that much, much more is possible than people ordinarily think.
  • Because we focus on getting things done.
  • Because we are focused on your agenda.
  • Because there is always a transferring of knowledge to someone in your company.
  • Because there is an easy exit at the end of an assignment.
