Consulting to help you to run Rapid On-boarding programmes
for New Executives

Let's talk about the new executives' first 90 days…

Recently "The Economist"  identified the problems of new executives...
How can they be effective quickly? 

 Their study concluded that there were 3 main areas that caused a new executive to fail:

Getting up to speed
Forging effective new relationships
Delivering what is expected

We know from our experience the average executive stays in post for less than 4 years
Research suggests that nearly 40% don’t even make it past the first 18 months!
So the pressure is really on to make a real impact and deliver results in the first 90 days

A Rainmaker HR Consultant knows that you may have to dance to different tunes in
tough times, however these create opportunities for your people and business to grow.

What do your current clients say of the consultants?

A client recently said of Kevin Howes:

"The programme conducted by Rainmaker has been one of the most
instructive and useful experiences of my working life. The Rainmaker coach
quickly understood my business and challenges and provided a non-judgmental,
balanced and pragmatic view.

The strategies I was able to formulate and implement have had a dramatic
bottom line impact and allowed me to become a more effective manager

ind the time to deal with the big stuff that makes the small stuff work smoothly"
