<h3>Are you ready for CHANGE?</h3>
If you are planning or facing significant change, <strong>Navigating Transitions</strong> welcomes the opportunity to provide dedicated, experienced and timely talent for your short-term leadership needs. Whether your temporary leadership needs are strategically driven or happen unexpectedly, Navigating Transitions can help.

Our goal is to deliver insight, counsel and leadership needed to create stability, agility and results when you need to address short-term problems or time-critical opportunities:

 If you have a business problem that cannot be solved with in-house talent, we offer short-term <strong>CONSULTING</strong> services. Examples of projects include strategic and operational plan alignment and business-technology project audits. Typical deliverables include assessments and recommendations.

 If you have executives who are new in their roles or need an objective sounding board, we offer <strong>MENTORING</strong> to provide "been there, done that" counsel. Typically, these advisory engagements result in the transfer of expertise to help the mentee grow strategic thinking as well as tactical expertise. Mentoring is done in-office, via phone and through email dialog; it is usually part-time and can extend over several months.

 If you are in an unplanned growth, key executive loss, or other complex situation and lack the specific leadership you immediately require, we offer <strong>TRANSITIONAL LEADERSHIP</strong> to help you bridge the gap. In some cases this C"X"O and senior leadership support is provided a day or two a week; some situations may require full-time and on-site support.
