Here are only a few scenarios in which ART might be used to help its client companies:

A leading consumer products company needs to change certain aspects of its corporate business culture, and internal candidates do not have the right skill set or experience to change this business culture. An ART change agent might need to be brought in. ART specializes in candidates who are experts at bridging cultural gaps, including gaps in different business cultures.

• It could be that a company needs to remake its global supply chain organization into a more efficient structure.

• Perhaps a large company needs to create a less bureaucratic mentality by reorganizing business units more like entrepreneurial startups. To make the most of their staff's creativity, they want to create systems to make them recognize that they are "owners" of their product or market area, not simply employees who "happened to have been assigned" to this product or market.

• It might be a highly successful company whose presence is primarily in its own country market and needs a senior marketing, sales, or finance officer fluent in their national language but with world class international experiences who needs to carefully and diplomatically create a different, world class business style.

• A company might wish to enter a new product area that they are not experienced in. They might need a CEO or Managing Director of this new business, or they might need a top finance or business development head to pursue M&A strategies, or they might need top sales, marketing or branding experts from the target industries.

• There might be a desire to sell their products through a new high profile internet site but their own sales and marketing people might be unfamiliar with how to run a successful electronic commerce site. A person coming from a top dotcom might be needed.

 

A medium-sized or small consumer products company wants to be a billion dollar firm.

• A leader from a well established consumer firm might be needed to drive the vision of the "new" company as CEO, COO, CMO, CFO, President, Vice President, General Manager or at any other high level position.

• Key middle managers might be needed to restructure, coordinate, or retarget sales, marketing, operations, finance, IT, etc.

A company urgently needs to change expatriate managers for highly talented world class local candidates in order to become closer to their local consumer market and to significantly increase their market share.

• Typical expatriate replacement positions might include Managing Directors, Finance, Sales, Marketing Heads, and Plant Managers, among others.
