Here's a familiar pattern in business: a few people got together and formed a company. Often the founders came from the same company or from a small circle of companies. Everyone knew one another well, and after a few years of hard work, they made a great company. In the early stages of a company, having key managers from similar corporate experiences could be helpful.

However, sometimes when growth occurs, efficiency drops, and there seems to be no solution internally, because the founding managers need different solutions from people with different industry experiences. ART is often brought in to help identify candidates who might help our clients manage their growth with new ideas, new contacts, or new experiences. Some questions asked by companies:

• How to bring new markets and new verticals to our product offerings?
• How to finance key expansions with our existing investment contacts?
• How to improve the efficiency of operations and supply chain?
• How to find trustworthy general managers and sales directors in other regions or countries?
• How to manage a newly acquired company?

 

HELPING GOOD COMPANIES MANAGE CHANGE.

 

ART offers Turnaround Specialists and Change-Agents, primarily for full-time, long term roles. If a company's customer base and contacts have been oriented to a few market sectors, regions or industries that are not currently "buying," then perhaps we could help bring in new managers who could attract valuable sectors that have been ignored.

 

ART normally works to place its candidates with highly successful, profitable and forward-thinking firms. There are some candidates, however, who request and desire the challenges of making previously flawed companies into tomorrow's highly successful, profitable and progressive firms. Sometimes even the best and most respected firms experience large or small problems, due to a key official's departure or due to flawed or antiquated processes or management styles. ART is happy to bring together talented turnaround specialists and companies that need fixing.

 

EXIT STRATEGIES.

 

Sometimes the founder or principals of a good business simply want to do other things in their lives, and they need someone to help them position their firm for an acquisition. ART senior executive candidates might be considered as CEO's, COO's, SVP's, Presidents or CFO's to assist in this transition.
