Research shows that as many as 40% of new executives fail in the first 18 months of their new position (Financial Times, March 30, 2009). Can your company afford to take this risk?

New executives can be consumed with a host of new stimuli, such as information, directives, relationships, initiatives and job related demands. Frequently they can focus on the wrong ones -- at a time when critical first impressions are being formed. Executive Career Services supports a 360 degree approach by working with not only the executive, but with his/her boss, their team members and their subordinates to create a specific, actionable onboarding plan. By taking a comprehensive approach, ECS guides the new executives, leveraging their strengths to deliver on their objectives both effectively and efficiently.

Our Executive Onboarding programs provide support to new executives, either newly hired or newly promoted, to quickly assimilate to their new position, as well as their new company.
