In addition to a wide range of general management skills, the following are two key areas where our practical advice and experience can make a difference:

Interim managers

Buying in the management support you need can be the right solution to manage a project or fill a gap left by promotion or maternity leave. We offer a manager for hire service to meet your needs in this kind of situation.

A recent survey of 100 senior executives in UK companies showed that 78% felt that hiring an interim manager on a fixed term contract offered a number of clear advantages:

• Previous experience 
• An outsider’s viewpoint 
• An apolitical approach 
• The ability to fast-track a project
• Flexibility

Procurement support

We can help you save money by negotiating cost-efficient contracts with key suppliers. We can work with you right through the  process from re-evaluating your needs, developing tender documentation,  short-listing and then choosing the best supplier.

Employee and customer surveys

Quality management is about listening to your customers and employees. Conducting an impartial survey is an essential listening tool that can yield information about customer and employee expectations and satisfaction. The corollary of such an exercise is that your customers and employees feel they have been consulted and this consultation will reveal areas for organisational improvement. So a survey can demonstrate:

• You are interested in the opinions of others
• You want to hear their suggestions for change / improvement
• You want to canvass their views /strength of feeling on key issues before you make changes
• You want to involve them in the process of change
• Your fears about an issue may be misguided, in fact they’re concerned about something else

We can help you design and build employee and customer surveys that will have a positive impact on your business.
