Occasionally, events will occur from time to time that indicate a need for full or part-time supplemental management expertise. These events could include:

• As the cost of doing business becomes more expensive, one less costly way to still get the work done is by outsourcing. This is particularly true for non-line-of-business planning and management projects where the expertise required is specialized and focused on a specific project or problem.
• Temporary or permanent loss of a key executive. Whether in response to retirement or life events, the business may need a temporary replacement executive while a permanent replacement is being recruited and employed or the original executive returns.
• Starting or growing a business. A new or growing business may need the skills and experience of one or more “professional” executives on a part-time basis until the business grows large enough to afford and recruit its own full-time management team members.
• Selling or substantially altering the ownership of a business may cause one or more of the current management team to leave; thereby necessitating experienced stand-ins until permanent replacement managers are employed.
• Bankruptcy. Once a business decides to declare bankruptcy or undertake liquidation, many key management positions will become vacant, unfortunately, the expertise required by those positions needs to be temporarily filled to enable a turnaround or smooth wind-down of operations to ensure the existing valuation is optimized.
• Initiation of a large-scale project. Projects that are larger in scope than ones normally undertaken, or which involve special expertise may require providing or supplementing management skills and experience that doesn’t exist or is in short supply at the company.
