BUSINESS DIAGNOSTIC/ REVIEW
Regardless of the need/opportunity/issues, PGS Advisory Directors typically perform a detailed review of the business to ensure there is a clear understanding of the need and in turn ensures our brief is clear, focused and has engagement. A full business diagnostic typically takes between 3-4 weeks from start to finish, this can be shortened where the business has time consequences.
LEADERSHIP
PGS has developed a unique skill set of being able to take on short-medium term engagements (3-18 months) as interim CEO. This has been used to success where the business needs a high caliber CEO for an interim period of time for a variety of reasons:
- the business needs/challenges have exceeded the incumbent's level of competence or desire to personally grow it,
- the business wants
- the business can’t afford the time/cost of hiring a lame CEO and want someone they can trust that can start straight away
LEADERSHIP SUPPORT
Quite often the CEO/M.D. is the right person for the job, but just needs support in some very specific areas. Our leadership support engagements are typically monthly ongoing assignments and can be anywhere from 1 day a month to 1-2 days a week. Companies often use this service in addition or in preference to a board, as it allows business owners to be open about their areas of need to obtain help and assistance without judgment.
CHANGE MANAGEMENT

Typically addressing issues in one or more of the following areas: Management Information Systems, Financial Systems & Financial reporting, Value Based Management & Management Reporting, Strategy, Organizational Structuring, Sales, Marketing, Market Segmentation analysis, People / Talent solutions. What we don’t do is seek to be the widget expertise. Our clients are typically great technicians, but have challenges around capacity or capability to grow the business. We assess, recommend and drive the change required including bringing in the people and change programs necessary to address the identified and agreed deficiencies/opportunities to grow the business.
