A word from the President/CEO:
We hope you had a good holiday season, and are now well into a productive 2012. Bonell Ryan had a strong 2011 albeit slightly slower in the last quarter. We have started the year well, finalizing a number of searches and confirming new searches in operations management, customer experience, decision sciences and sales/partnership development.
In our last newsletter (December 2011), we mentioned that we would provide the results of a survey being conducted by the Association of Executive Search Consultants regarding the state of Executive Search. The results came through in January as follows -
“The 2012 AESC Member Outlook survey revealed that demand for senior executives is still expected in the major markets of the world, but with less optimism than at the beginning of 2011. When asked about your general outlook for 2012, global results showed that 37% held a positive view while 49% were neutral - though with more optimism in the US when singling out regional data.
Forty-three percent predict that search activity will increase in 2012 over 2011, with the greatest sector rise expected in Energy/Natural Resources, followed by Health Care/Life sciences and then Manufacturing.”
As always, I’ve included a couple of articles. I hope you enjoy them. All the best for the upcoming months. It is always great to hear from you - so do let me know how things are fairing at your end and please feel free to contact us at any time if we can be of assistance.
Regards,
Deb
