Resolute Consulting Group LLC Announces Executive Career Transition Consulting Practice

Resolute Consulting Group LLC, the Atlanta-based executive development firm, has announced the formation of its Executive Career Transition Consulting Practice, according to Tammy L. Brown, the organization’s Communications Director.  “With organizations, executives and professionals facing potential transitional events in today’s challenging economy and work environments, the firm is meeting client needs with this vital service offering,” she added.

Interviewed at his office in Buckhead, John P. Schreitmueller, President and CEO of Resolute Consulting Group, stated, “While we continue to focus on our Leadership Development and Intervention practice areas, inclusion of high-end transition (outplacement) is a natural extension of our business.  In fact, during multiple Leadership Development and Intervention engagements, we have found many have within them Transitional requirements. To us, because these two segments are so deeply intertwined, we are, as practitioners, obligated to provide comprehensive guidance and expertise across both areas."

Since founding Resolute Consulting Group LLC in 2003, Mr. Schreitmueller and his Partner, Pat Jones, APRN, BC, have earned the praise of CEOs and leaders for their work in helping family owned businesses, public and privately held organizations, associations and non-profits dramatically improve their bottom line performance through integration of Resolute Leadership ™, a unique, authenticity-based template for business owners, CEOs and organizational leaders. Mr. Schreitmueller is widely recognized as one of the career consulting industry’s top experts. Unlike many search and volume outplacement firms that attempt to augment core businesses with “consulting” services as economic conditions change, the Resolute Consulting Group business model utilizes complementary systems, strategies and resources between its Leadership Development, Intervention and Transition practice areas. The result is a dynamic, powerful consulting experience for the firm’s clients.

“With the Executive Career Transition Consulting Practice, Resolute Consulting Group offers a high-end, very high quality alternative to the traditional “outplacement” model. The old model is designed for non-exempt, entry-level people and middle managers. Senior executives and professionals never receive what they need to refocus their careers and work/lives using the old model, and it fails to help key players re-position themselves authentically,” said Ms. Jones, whose background helping senior executives and professionals understand behavioral aspects of complex work/life situations spans over 20 years.  “We have taken the very best of decades of experience in career transition consulting that John Schreitmueller and I share, vastly innovated systems and approaches to accurately reflect the contemporary, multi-national business environment, and included levels of personalized expertise not afforded by any outplacement organization,” she continued. “I think the combination of our backgrounds bring this practice to a level that is noteworthy.  Clearly strong demand, comprised of organizations and individual, private clients, exists for this service... and the market represented by those organizations and private clients recognizes use of generic, volume outplacement firms is a dead end and a risk where top individuals are involved in transitional events,” Ms. Jones said.

The Resolute Consulting Group Executive Career Transition Practice serves 2 client categories:

Organizational Clients

The Resolute Consulting Group Executive Career Transition Practice serves family owned businesses, public and private organizations, associations and non-profits that, as organizational clients, employ significantly compensated (about $250,000.00 to the millions in annual salary plus bonus compensation) and are facing economic restructuring, instances of dysfunctional reporting relationships, reorganizations, mergers, downsizings or other events that result in the displacement of these key individuals. Resolute Consulting Group is uniquely qualified to understand this complex niche, and its practice area encompasses an approach in which the transition event is handled with quiet discretion, and helps the sponsoring organization avoid negative press, litigation and damage to morale.  The RCG model spans the totality of the transitional event, from planning through implementation. The duration of transitional engagements in this practice area typically begins at 12 months and extends to the point at which the transitioning executive or professional has either (1) accepted a suitable new employment situation that is authentically aligned with his or her work/life goals or (2) has successfully made an entrepreneurial re-deployment to the extent he or she has billed a minimum of 3 legitimate clients. In instances of entrepreneurial re-deployment, Resolute Consulting Group provides comprehensive guidance on business start-up operations and business development.

Private Clients

The Resolute Consulting Group Executive Career Transition Practice also serves senior executives, business owners, professionals and potentially high visibility individuals who, as private clients, will personally underwrite the expense of their transition consulting engagement, or have discretionary access to organizational funds for this purpose.  Private clients may also be individuals who prefer to keep their potential transitions confidential, and may require sensitive exit strategy guidance even while they remain employed with their current organization.  In today’s uncertain environments, there is great demand for this specialized type of guidance.
