A rapidly growing number of experienced senior management personnel are striking out on their own.  With the “rise of the SuperTemp”, the post World War II corporate executive hierarchy is rapidly changing. The need to be nimble, agile, responsive and current is driving CEOs and Boards to find ways to create a broader and more flexible executive team while controlling costs.

When you do the math, you find that you can build a broad executive dream team at a fraction of the cost of owning one. For the price of one full time executive employee you can have immediate access to a stable of talent in areas such as; marketing, leadership development, strategy development, social media, technology and innovation, data management and visualization and change management and training.

If you have a key corporate initiative, a complex short term project or a pilot project that needs an experienced and steady hand, you can easily engage professionals who understand Executive level management and who have the skills and experience to be effective. You can greatly benefit from independent outsiders who bring a fresh perspective and who can speak truth to power.

Executive SuperTemps bring skills, tools, best practices, maturity, experience and critically a level of emotional detachment that ensures that they provide you with the honest goods.  Furthermore, when you need “all hands” there are more hands available.

These aren’t just consultants, pulled in to tackle a current issue.  These are trusted part time resources, who become very knowledgeable about your business and senior staff, while retaining sufficient detachment to see your business in a new light.  They are not employees, and don’t carry the financial and cultural burdens of employees.  They are like the pre-industrial artisans – experts you can rely on for creative energy and support.
