Various studies confirm what we keep seeing: only 20 to 25 % of decision-makers recognise in time that they need a CRO.
That doesn’t surprise us. On many advisory boards, the topic comes up but is debated rather than decided. No clear decision, no strategic action.
And it’s not an isolated case.
Yet the CRO is the decisive lever for
• a rapid assessment of the situation,
• clear direction and
• consistent execution, even when it hurts.
In a turnaround or a company in crisis especially, every delayed or failed appointment costs valuable time. Companies in crisis need leaders whose experience lets them see faster what needs doing. Classic executive search, which only gets going once it has been commissioned, is often too slow here and tends to deliver commercial all-rounders rather than transformation specialists.
TALENTspy treats CRO appointments as forward-looking crisis prevention, not a last-minute emergency fix:
• transformation specialists from the top 10 %
• not just commercial skills, but real transformation experience
• partner-led, precise and fast
Do your colleagues and board members recognise how serious the situation is?
We work with candidates and partners to plan restructuring appointments ahead of time.
