Executive Temporary Management
More and more often, companies are presented with challenges that require quick responses and the presence of managers who, thanks to their extensive experience in similar contexts, are able to successfully manage change. Temporary Managers are professionals with proven experience in managing growth projects, from expanding into new markets to launching new businesses, as well as restructuring and change management.
The Executive Temporary Manager takes full operational responsibility for the company or one of its functions, providing rapid and measurable results, transferring skills to the internal team, and ensuring continuity within the organization.

Quality Manager: A Guarantee for the Client, a Support for the Temporary Manager.
The contract Manager’s temporary management stands out because our clients can always rely on a quality control service that continues throughout the entire assignment.
Every Temporary Manager assigned to a project is supported by a Quality Manager who conducts regular meetings—typically every one or two months and in person—with both the client and the manager. These meetings ensure that the progress is tracked, key issues are addressed, and continuous improvements are made.
Quality and ongoing monitoring are part of Contract Manager’s DNA. We give the utmost attention to our clients’ needs and are committed to fully understanding their requirements.
That’s why, before the assignment begins, we offer an additional Check Up service to gain a deep understanding of the organization’s challenges and provide the most effective managerial solutions, even in the most critical situations and during periods of radical change.
