Francis X O'Malley - A Profile
The proprietor of Charterhouse Management Solutions, Francis X O'Malley, has over 20 years experience in industry, with outstanding achievements in a wide variety of business sectors, for example: industrial diesel engines; printing/graphic design; brewing; healthcare; logistics; construction and mining equipment; capital equipment maintenance; component manufacturing; construction; and parts and accessories distribution.
He has worked in over twenty countries, spanning much of Europe, Africa, the Middle & Far East and the USA. Currently, this experience is being used to good effect in helping businesses in many diverse market sectors improve performance and compete effectively in key areas such as:
From the very outset, he will try hard to understand your business and will not turn up with a suitcase of software or try to expound on some arcane textbook methodology. He prefers to be seen as part of the management team, with practical experience of making things happen, yet not afraid to stand up for what he believes is right.
In this latter regard, he is a nuts-and-bolts man, not content just to 'peddle solutions' but, by adopting a hands-on approach, he always tries to ensure that the solution will not only be fully implemented, but will also be seen to be working and producing the desired results.
Hence the interim management aspect. Many clients request that he stays on after the initial project has been completed, in order to assist management with the implementation of whatever recommendations and corrective action he may have prescribed. In other words, not only has he got to practice what he preaches, but he must also ensure the results flow through to the bottom line.
Moreover, his proven track record of professionalism and impartiality combined with his ability to take temporary control of a department, or an entire business, proves extremely beneficial when a company is in need of a safe pair of hands at short notice. Interim management is no place for learners.
