Management On Demand

Flexible leaders at short notice for emergencies or strategic needs

“The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry.”

Business, like life, is unpredictable. Unexpected turbulence and a lack of ability to manage it have laid many a company low. However, when the unexpected turbulence is on account of a sudden or urgent need for a top-tier executive, thankfully, there are solutions available, such as our “management on demand.”

Startups and family businesses typically do not have the financial muscle to invest in redundancy in senior leadership and frequently rely on just-in-time talent to help them tide over the immediate aftermath of a senior-level exit or a sudden need for a resource in a specific area.

Our database includes former full-time senior executives who have either stepped off the treadmill and are no longer interested in a full-time or permanent role with a company. They either operate on short-term assignments or as a consultant. They find this more fulfilling and challenging, working on a new challenge every few weeks or months.

When your company is in the throes of an unexpected leadership crisis, Ushankk’s “management on demand” solution can save the day, until you once again find a long-term captain for the ship.

Agility is of utmost importance at such times, and Ushankk is well known for it. We facilitate the process of onboarding so that the leader can hit the ground running and work with you to define the success criteria for the engagement, which results in a professional parting of ways once the need has been overcome. It includes a personalised orientation programme, ongoing hand-holding and coaching, and periodic check-ins to ensure alignment.

The demand for this solution is on the increase. Corporations are increasingly opting for a short-term, project-based engagement with senior leaders in situations where they do not foresee an ongoing need, or where internal skills are deficient.

With Ushankk on your side, you can access the best short-term, ready-to-start talent with the click of a few buttons.
