The Company
Formed originally in 1990 under the name of Crisis Management Company,
its expressed purpose was saving companies and jobs. The mainstay of the
business had been what in management is called "operational turnarounds".
CMC became involved in the startup and growth needs of companies as CMC
itself grew and eventually changed its name in the early 90's to Management
2000, Inc. (M2000
) to better reflect the expanding needs of its
clients. Management 2000's experience in recognizing and correcting business
crisis situations put it in a uniquely qualified position to redirect
companies away from trouble as they plan for future success. We've seen both
sides.
The People
All of the staff of M2000 has been at the level of Owner, President, VP
Manufacturing, Chief Financial Officer, Director - Management Training or VP
Sales and Marketing of a company. There are no junior personnel at M2000 -
only seasoned executives. They have all sat in the executive seat and know
intimately the concerns that an owner takes home at night. We employ
executives under a unique dual expertise
criteria, that is, all
executives must have multiple areas of skilled disciplines. It is not
uncommon to have a VP of Manufacturing with both CPA and MBA credentials
helping our clients. Commonly, two M2000 executives whose combined multiple
skills match the specific needs of the client company are chosen to work
together.
The Process
Thanks to our dual expertise employment criteria, M2000 executives are
able to examine a company from the front door to the back. Our process
dictates complete due diligence organizationally, financially and
operationally. We look at the company as a whole and then determine from
that view what will assure reaching specific and measurable goals. Of
critical importance is that M2000 executives are capable of achieving
sought-after results in a matter of weeks, not years. M2000 understands that
many of today's companies do not have the luxury of time, nor in many
instances cash, to change or validate its direction. Finally, and key to our
clients’ success, is that we develop an exhaustive action plan
that M2000 executives implement.
