Short Term Management
What is Crisis and Turnaround Management Services?
A crisis is a major, unpredictable event that threatens to harm an organization and its stakeholders. Although crisis events are unpredictable, they are not unexpected and can affect all segments of society—businesses, churches, educational institutions, families, non-profits and the government—and are caused by a wide range of reasons. Although the definitions can vary greatly, three elements are common to most definitions of crisis: (a) a threat to the organization, (b) the element of surprise, and (c) a very short decision time.
Sudden crisis, such as fires, explosions, natural disasters, workplace violence, etc;
Smoldering crisis, problems or issues that start out small and could be fixed or averted if someone was paying attention or recognized the potential for trouble;
Bizarre crisis, a one-of-a-kind crisis which has never been anticipated and for which there is no plan of action;
Perceptual crisis, is a long-running problem which for whatever reason has been allowed to continue because of management's failure to address the crisis and take appropriate steps to resolve it.
Crisis management consists of skills and techniques required to assess, understand, and cope with any serious situation, especially from the moment it first occurs to the point that recovery procedures start.
Crisis management consists of methods used to respond to both the reality and perception of crises such as a Crisis Management Plan. Crisis management also involves establishing metrics to define what scenarios constitute a crisis and should consequently trigger the necessary response mechanisms. It consists of the communication that occurs within the response phase of emergency management scenarios.
Business Coaching
Business coaching is the practice of providing support and regular advice to an individual or business in order to help them recognize ways in which they can improve the effectiveness of their business. Business coaches work to improve leadership, employee accountability, teamwork, sales, communication, goal setting, strategic planning, and more. It can be provided in a number of ways, including one-on-one sessions, group coaching sessions, and large-scale seminars.
Business coaches are often called in to provide turnaround services when a business is perceived to be performing badly. However, many businesses recognize the benefits of business coaching even when the organization is successful and often schedule regular sessions for the purpose of having a coach provide a second opinion or confirming opinion. Coaching is not restricted to business turnaround situations; it can be helpful at any time.
Business management coaching often helps businesses grow by creating a structured, strategic plan that the business can follow to achieve agreed-upon goals. Lyle Charles Consulting offers business coaching services to business owners who may not be able to afford large coaching firm prices.
Normally, coaching sessions are on a regular schedule of once or twice per month.
Negotiation/Dispute Resolution Services
Negotiation is normally between the parties in a dispute and does not involve a neutral third party. Mr. Charles offers negotiation coaching to individual parties in a dispute including attending & assisting those parties in settlement meetings.
Short Term Interim Management Assignments
Interim management is a concept that dates back to the 1970s and is primarily used in the United States to quickly have management in place within days as opposed to months using the traditional hiring methods. Usually, interim managers will be more qualified than the normal hire for a particular position and, based upon their prior experience of similar challenges, are equipped to have an immediate effect and be productive from the outset. Many business situations can result in the need for interim/short term management services. Typically, these situations are crisis management, sudden departure of a senior manager, death, illness, transitions, mergers and acquisitions, and high-value single project management assignments.
Lyle Charles Consulting can also provide construction claim analysis and party appointed arbitrator services.
