AikinenOptimizing the Pieces Together

Executive Management

 

Outside Executive/Consultant/Advisor

Business and Organizations today are faced with mounting complexities due to both financial regulation and accountability and increasing complexity of information technology systems and software in every department. This increase in complexity creates situations where it is critical to make correct decisions or poor performance and negative financial consequences are the result.

Management is under more pressure than ever before to produce results, profitability, and has an ever growing set of issues to handle on a regular basis. Putting out the fires becomes the norm instead of management being able to spend quality time on new strategy and direction that will grow the organization.

The Executive Management team has to come up with the answers to perplexing business issues, the financial and IT security controls to keep the organization viable and secure, and a sales and marketing strategy that will keep the organization growing providing increasing opportunities for everyone. Bringing in an Outside Executive Manager/Consultant/Advisor for companies that do not have a formal Board of Directors creates the breadth of experience needed, the impartiality towards the organization's internal challenges, and a third party voice to resolve various types of conflicts and challenges within each organization so that the company can operate at peak efficiency. Aikinen principles and ideas provide a new unique perspective to address ongoing challenges and issues each organization faces.

I have over 30 years of experience in Board/Corporate/Executive Management at every level and department including Finance/Accounting, Information Technology, Sales, Marketing, Operations, Product and Program Management, Quality Assurance, and Human Resources. I have solved very complex business challenges which confounded management, bringing them to resolution. I am able to bring out the strengths and talents of the existing management team to facilitate greater levels of cooperation and performance gains. Contact me to discuss the various Executive Management/Consultant/Advisor options available.
