Most of the tasks associated with a career transition are the responsibility of the executive. Consultants guide executives toward resources, but do not actively participate. |
|
One-to-one consulting time is often inadequate - the average client/consultant ratio is over 50 executives to one consultant. Most traditional firms rely heavily on group workshops.
|
|
Personal introductions to executive networking contacts and job lead connections are rarely provided or are generally inadequate.
|
|
Enhance client's presentation for maximum influence including resumes, interview skills, references and network meeting presentations. |
|
Consultants do not have the time to fully understand the executive's situation, and therefore are prevented from delivering a thorough, high-quality career transition campaign.
|
|
Consultants assigned to executives typically do not have senior executive operating level backgrounds.
|
|
Service delivered is typically formula (textbook) driven and not customized to the executive's specific requirements and level of expectations. |
|
If an executive has special needs for resources or services that fall outside of the traditional firm's program definition, it is difficult for the firm to satisfy the executive's request. |
|
Most programs offered have time limits, regardless of the executive's re-employment status. |
