We asked our network about issues they were facing when bringing new talent into their organisations. A whopping 45% said budgets was the main obstacle which I guess won't surprise many people. Having worked on many transformation projects and seen some of the stats for what percentage of projects don't succeed or simply take longer, it is fairly clear why budgets are put under such stress. Having the right people and, indeed, the best people you can afford, will go a long way to mitigating this, not least because they will help spot early the challenges that may blow a project off course. Of course working out who is the best person requires a proven and robust recruitment process, something we have been delivering for almost 20 years. I'm sure we can help you this year if you would like to have a short chat about your priorities. #ChangeManagement #BusinessTransformation #LeadershipSkills #Malikshaw #InterimManagement #Contractors #ExecutiveFunctions #Strategies #ManagementConsulting #EnvironmentalSustainability

Some managements spend time and money to get consultants from half way around the world to tell them what their staff have always been saying. Listen to the wind, it's free. Maybe get the consultant to give a presentation on why the floor isn't swept while you're at it. A pyramid is built from the base. Just because you're CEO don't mean you know the names of the people who built the pyramids. Sit down with real people and solve real challenges. Because your staff deal with it daily

Selecting a CEO is rarely easy. It is one decision that can make or break the future direction and performance of an institution. The wrong choice will have devastating consequences.

The biggest problems I solve? 👇🏼 Lack of time. Lack of expertise. Senior management teams in businesses often spot the warning signs. Maybe it's the turnover of staff. Maybe it's those flickering yellow lights. Or the lost productivity that's only getting worse. They know something needs to change. But don't know where to start. I free up the senior teams in businesses that do not have the level of facilities management expertise that I can bring, nor the time to action these problems.. My work allows them to get on with their day jobs, whilst I concentrate on the facitilies and project management issues.
