Our Services

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.

Change Management

In times of great discontinuity and continuous change, it is particularly important for a company to recruit resources with the appropriate skills and who have successfully managed similar situations in the past. Temporary Managers and Partners of Contract Manager are capable of handling non-recurring business phases characterized by high discontinuity, such as post-acquisition integration, internationalization, generational transitions, and the search for a key manager.

Our expertise in change management ensures an effective handling of transitions, minimizing risks and maximizing results.

Performance Improvement

Performance Improvement requires a systematic approach and specific expertise to identify and implement areas for improving business performance. The Temporary Managers of Contract Manager apply proven methodologies to optimize operational and financial processes, from KPI analysis to the implementation of effective monitoring systems.

Our experience in Performance Improvement ensures measurable results within defined timeframes through cost optimization, better process efficiency, and the development of the internal team’s professional skills.

Restructuring and turnaround

Contract Manager is expert in restructuring and turnaround interventions. Our experience in managing industrial and financial crises translates into solid recovery projects, led by multifunctional teams of expert Temporary Managers adopting an integrated approach.

The restructuring projects we are involved in often require industrial reorganization and must be handled by teams of experienced managers with diverse skills set, which we can quickly provide to the company.

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.
