Our group of 55 Consultants consists
of successful CEOs, Presidents, COOs, CFOs, and Operational
Leaders in their field. Each Forte Consultant has spent an
average of 20+ years in C-level positions – they are
Consultants and they are operators.
Why Forte Consultants are Unique
Over the years, we have vetted hundreds of high caliber
people and have identified the key skills and personality
attributes necessary to succeed – every time. Our talent
managers invite only a very small percentage of the C-level
people we interview to join the ForteONE team. Our commitment to
maintaining this caliber of people provides our clients with
several advantages over hiring permanent management to
implement change:
- Speed: We bring the right people in quickly. Very
few companies can afford to spend months recruiting a
key executive and/or to take the risk that he or she
isn’t a right fit and the search begins anew.
- The Right Skills to Implement Change: Different
business cycles require different types of leadership.
Often, the person most qualified to implement change is
different than the one most qualified to maintain
momentum. Our Business Assessment unearths those needs
and optimizes each role.
- Cost: The cost of a ForteONE Consultant is usually less than the fully loaded cost of
a permanent hire. Plus, hiring mistakes cost serious
money and valuable time.
- Did You Know: In Topgrading, the widely
regarded tome on hiring well, Bradford D. Smart, Ph.D.
cites studies calculating “the average cost of mis-hiring
is fifteen times base salary.”
One of the keys to our success is matching teams to our
clients’ needs, whether that is in an advisory role to work
with owners in developing strategy for sustainability and
growth, or in an interim leadership role to address complex,
time-sensitive problems that require rapid results.
