Way of working
Lean and efficient organizations are optimized for the normal state of the business. When something unexpected happens, the organization has deal with this and resources from the execution of the normal business would have to be diverted to handle the new situation. Without excess capacity this will slow down or damage the normal business. One alternative to handle special situations is to contract an experienced advisor to take on and/or support the company in the extra-ordinary situation, thus accessing quickly relevant know-how, with minimal interruption to the normal business of the company.
After agreeing the scope of the assignment, Siralux can work with you in several ways. As interim manager, part of the company’s organization, as a special advisor to CEO or other senior management, board or owner, as a consultant with a clear project to deliver, working mostly outside of day-to-day operative business.
