Active Management Solutions
Leadership Support & Business Autopilot
When your business needs more than just a temporary manager or a recruitment solution, PMG offers a unique model: Active Management Solutions. This service embeds a world-class PMG consultant directly into your organization, providing active, day-to-day leadership and strategic guidance focused on driving sustained success.
This is not an executive search or recruiting service. It’s about partnering with PMG to place our proven expertise precisely where you need it most within your leadership structure, with the full backing and resources of our organization behind the embedded expert.
The PMG Difference: Why Embed Consultants?
Our model for embedding executive talent offers critical advantages that go beyond traditional recruitment or interim solutions:
1.
Unmatched Flexibility & Adaptability
Your contract is with PMG, not an individual executive. This eliminates costly buy-out agreements and provides unparalleled flexibility. As your business needs shift – for example, from a focus on growth (requiring a Marketing expert) to preparing for exit (requiring M&A expertise) – we can strategically switch out the assigned executive to ensure you always have the best possible expertise guiding your business for your current objectives.
2.
World-Class PMG Consultant Quality
We don't just find candidates; we embed PMG's own top-tier experts. Our consultants come from the top 1% of global talent – industry leaders, seasoned executives, and successful entrepreneurs with deep functional and industry knowledge. They are rigorously selected, trained in PMG's innovative methods, and continuously supported by our global resources, ensuring you receive consultant-level ROI without consultant pricing.
3.
Guaranteed Quality Assurance & Accountability
Because your contract is with PMG, we provide an essential layer of oversight and accountability beyond the individual consultant. PMG actively monitors your business's progress and the embedded consultant's performance, ensuring alignment with strategic objectives and proactively resolving concerns. Our consultants have continuous access to the full PMG knowledge base and fractional resources, ensuring they have the support needed to deliver the high-quality results you expect.
Our Process for Embedding Leadership
Our end-to-end process is designed for meticulous fit, seamless integration, and sustained impact, placing a PMG consultant ready to guide your business day after day:
Phase 1 Needs Assessment Click to learn more ▼
We begin with a comprehensive, collaborative deep dive to fully understand the specific functional role requirements, desired operational and strategic outcomes, cultural nuances, and the unique context of the placement need within your organization.
Phase 2 Strategic Deep-Dive Click to learn more ▼
Following the initial assessment, PMG consultants perform a focused diagnostic review of the business itself. This step, similar to the start of our standard consulting engagements, helps us uncover the most pressing underlying needs and opportunities the embedded executive will need to address for organizational success.
Phase 3 Placement & Integration Click to learn more ▼
We select and embed the ideal PMG executive consultant into the identified role (e.g., VP, Director, General Manager, or C-suite). This consultant remains a PMG employee, fully integrated within your business's daily operations. It is at this stage that your desired level of owner/stakeholder involvement is clearly defined, determining if it follows a standard Long-Term Placement path (owners remain involved as they wish) or the Business Done For You model (owners seek minimal/no involvement).
Phase 4 Ongoing PMG Support Click to learn more ▼
So long as a PMG executive is integrated within your business, they are continuously supported. They have direct access to PMG's knowledge base, methodologies, and can leverage fractional resources and specialized expertise from the broader PMG team whenever needed to ensure they deliver comprehensive solutions and navigate complex challenges.
Successful Integration!
Models for Engagement
