Transition Management

Our vision of transition management

NAOS International offers a committed approach to Transition management, based on strong positioning and clear values, aimed at meeting both corporate needs and supporting executive leadership.

For us, Transition management is above all a profession of “corporate emergency response,” which must address specific needs at a specific time. Within this framework, interim management must always:

  • Provide immediately available managers,
  • Offer managers who are recognized and experts in their fields,
  • Deliver high-level profiles capable of immediate operational impact,
  • Rely on managers solely driven by the objectives of the assignment.

We firmly believe in relationships built on trust, transparency, commitment, rigor, and professionalism, to address the human and economic challenges of emergency situations in business.

At NAOS International, a successful Transition assignment is one with a strong ROI—an investment that is both humanly and financially rewarding.

Our commitments

We work with companies that are right for us: From start-ups to ETIs, with high management stakes, and with major ambitions and structuring projects.

  • Leading and maintaining regular contact with selected transition managers (through our club and regular meetings),

  • Supporting companies in qualifying their needs (challenging, building),

  • Propose an effective and rapid solution (a choice of 3 managers in 5 days maximum),

  • Total financial transparency (with regard to the firm's margin and all other elements of the assignment),

  • Ensuring flawless monitoring of the assignment (at least weekly monitoring throughout the assignment),

  • Adapting the assignment to the company's needs (ensuring continuity through a professional handover).

The assignments we handle are always linked to an emergency situation

  • Bridging assignments, to support a company during a vacancy and sometimes beyond,
  • Transformation, restructuring and turnaround assignments,
  • Assignments to support growth or decline and adapt the company,
  • Assignments requiring an operational expert from outside the company,
  • Assignments related to crisis situations or extreme emergencies,
  • Finally, assignments related to ‘exceptional projects’.

The managers we work with are first and foremost experienced managers with a proven track record in their field: experienced C-Level managers (CODIR, CoMex, Experts), they are above all guided by the approach adopted by the Transition manager.

Our Managers

The interim manager’s approach is unique.
That’s what makes them so effective and successful

Above all, it means :

  • A unique approach to each assignment,
  • Strong, recognised managerial skills,
  • Unquestionable business expertise,
  • An ‘extra dimension’ in relation to the challenges of the assignment,
  • Immediately operational, making the manager legitimate within a few days,
  • Mission management that is detached from any internal policy issues,
  • Management of the assignment is totally guided by the interests of the project and the company.

An interim manager has a strong personality and experience.
