Business Change
Charthan Consultancy consultants have extensive knowledge and experience in working with organisations to manage change. The Charthan House approach to Business Change consists of a few key principles:
• Understand where you are now, and where you want to be, why you want to be there and by when.
• Develop a plan of how to move to the ‘Target Operating Model’ in achievable defined and measureable steps
• Ensure that you communicate the programme to all stakeholders
• Include, involve people in the change process as early as possible.
• Establish clear simple governance to steer, measure and manage the change programme
Effective deployment of the organisations resources is paramount inthe development of a n effective operating model. Our consultants will work with you to assist in the design, development and delivery of the change programme. Our consultants can support a wide range of change programmes including outsourcing or downsizing, off-shoring or near-shoring, or simply changing the Organisation Design and structures to enable greater effectiveness and efficiency.
Project and Programme Management
Project Management means ensuring your risks are identified and managed, the project is set up to succeed and the project team has everything it needs. Setting up a HR Transformation programme using a structured project management approach is important. The reasons HR projects can fail is often down to failure of basic project management principles that are a feature of methodologies such as Prince 2 or MSP.
A structured approach to delivering ‘projects’ will improve the probability of successful delivery of any project on time, on budget and to agreed quality.
Business Case Support
Initiating and gaining support for a project or programme can be very daunting. Our consultants can provide you with support and advice on the development and presentation of your business case.
Interim Management Services
Special projects and unplanned vacancies can cause the biggest headaches for management - it may be long term illness at the peak business period, or the new project that demands specialist knowledge. Charthan Consultancy Interim Management Services can find interim solutions to just these problems, with access to a pool of experienced senior managers available at short notice for as long as you require them.
We are able to provide an experienced manager at very short notice.
The use of interim managers provides the following benefits:
- The client company can continue to maintain an economical core of permanent staff, drawing on temporary external skills when required.
- An interim manager can introduce know-how and experience to a company without causing problems to succession planning.
- A cost-effective alternative to permanent highly paid staff.
- A fresh perspective, often gained from long and varied experience
Resourcing
We fully understand that recruiting the right people can be a time consuming, and costly exercise. At Charthan Consultancy we aim to provide a range of resourcing solutions to resolve short, medium or long term staffing requirements.
We also provide an Interim Management Service when expert skills are required quickly. For permanent resource requirements, we offer traditional recruiting methods, coupled with the use of Social Media recruitment if appropriate.
Our process is thorough and confidential, ensuring that you always receive the best possible candidates for each role.
Our consultants will work with you drawing up the assignment brief and undertaking a comprehensive search for appropriate candidates.
Candidates shortlisted are thoroughly interviewed and briefed on the nature of the appointment.
You will be consulted at every stage of the process and receive a shortlist, together with the consultant's notes. Our support continues through to appointment providing, if required, advice on the salary and employee terms.
Search (headhunt)
Major assignments are conducted most effectively by executive search. Meridian has built up a network of contacts throughout the publishing and media industries and has its own research team, thus ensuring we are able to target quality candidates. All approaches to candidates are made with the utmost discretion and confidentiality.
Selection (advertised approach)
In addition to search, advertising can provide a wider trawl for appropriate candidates. We can advise on design, wording and optimum publications for advertisements.
