Who
is First Matrix Group (FMG)? What does FMG do? What are Matrix-Solutions™? How does the Matrix-Solutions™ approach work? When does a company need FMG? What is a CXO-Team? Are CXO-Team members "hands on"? Do you have Matrix-Solutions™ case studies? How can FMG help me if I'm doing better than my competitors? How is FMG different than other firms? With whom should I speak if I'm potentially interested in working with FMG? First Matrix Group (FMG) is a strategic operations management firm comprised
of senior executives with extensive experience in a broad spectrum of
industries and in company sizes ranging from startup to Fortune 500. FMG deploys customized chief executive- level management teams, known as CXO-Teams, for established and emerging companies in technology, life sciences, industrial, and consumer products and services. FMG CXO-Teams are comprised of experienced CEOs, COOs, CFOs, CMOs, CIOs, and CPOs who are teamed together according to client specific requirements such as industry, culture, size, and stage of development to achieve measurable strategic and operational objectives. FMG CXO-Teams or individual members lead strategic initiatives, functional divisions, business units, and companies. Though we provide advice, analysis and assessment, our primary mission is to be strategically driven, operationally deployed and execution focused to achieve results. CXO-Teams are aligned to specific industries and are often dedicated to a client company for on-demand access, confidentiality and sustained on-going support. FMG CXO-Team members have experience in strategic operations including:
technology, finance, supply chain, manufacturing, human resources, strategy,
e-commerce, sales and marketing. Matrix-Solutions ™ refers to the application and deployment of CXO-Teams where leadership, experience and insight are needed. CXO-Teams are made up of customized, multi-talented senior managers in four strategically critical and market-driven areas as noted below. Strategic Operations Management and Initiative Execution(SOM/IE): FMG can provide a customized CXO-Team including CEO, COO, CMO, CFO, CIO, CPO or selected team members to lead a company, business unit or function, or to drive a strategic initiative such as strategy and operations assessment, large-scale transformation, channel and market development. Investment Portfolio Services and Support (IPSS): FMG can provide confidential, shared, on-demand CXO-Team services to portfolio companies to increase probability of success and maximize ROI. Intellectual Property, Patent and Process Commercialization (IP3C): FMG can provide an industry specific, CXO-Team to identify innovation, validate concepts, develop business plans and models, and value capture strategy. If appropriate, FMG may create a company or venture around this technology and operate it with an objective of maximizing stakeholder value. Geographic Foothold Strategy and Operations (GFSO):
FMG can rapidly create or expand a corporate or market presence in North
America, U.K, and Europe. A customized CXO-Team can assess market opportunities,
develop or realign strategic business plans and company infrastructure,
and rapidly establish or expand market penetration with a focus on revenue
and profitability. FMG deploys customized, stage-specific CXO-Teams that are strategically driven and execution focused. The Matrix-Solutions™ approach is designed to provide the right combination of executive management talent at the right time and for the right duration. For example, a $110 million software company may need a blended CXO-Team
including a full-time COO for ten months, a CFO and a CMO for two days
a week for five months. Later, the same company may want to replace the
CMO with a full-time CIO for six months. This flexibility is a critical
component to assist companies in obtaining speed-to-value with durable
and sustainable solutions. A company can reach performance plateaus at different points during its
lifecycle because of market turbulence, lack of stage-specific operational
experience, or misalignment of the company to market opportunities and
customer demands. FMG CXO-Teams focus on improving performance, capitalizing
on opportunities and minimizing risk with proven industry experience and
functional expertise. Our clients can expect a higher probability of company
success in less time and speed-to-value with minimal loss in momentum
and fewer false starts. A CXO-Team is chief executive level managers. Depending on a company's
needs, a CXO-Team may comprise one or more CEOs, CFOs, COOs, CMOs, COOs,
and CPOs. Yes. FMG is unique in that its managers are proven CXOs who execute with
a focus on results rather then simply advising. They know how to be entrepreneurial
and act quickly while building for scalability. In addition, these seasoned
executives have operated companies through periods of slow, fast and negative
growth, and understand the challenges and opportunities a dynamic market
represents. A private equity firm's strategy is to grow the revenues of each of its portfolio companies to $100 - $300 million over the next two to five years, minimize risk to its investors and ensure each company achieves its target valuation. FMG can work with private equity firms and their portfolio companies to provide a confidential and dedicated shared-services CXO-Team. This team can deliver on-going management mentoring and an expertise in marketing, operations, finance, HR and/or marketing and sales management for the benefit of its portfolio companies. CXO-teams are specifically designed and typically dedicated to one client at a time. A European software company with $30 million in revenues wants to rapidly expand into the U.S. An FMG CXO-Team can rapidly create a corporate and market presence in
North America. The customized CXO-Team can assess market opportunities,
develop strategic business plans and company infrastructure and rapidly
establish market penetration with a focus on revenue and profitability. FMG can provide senior executive managers to help lead, manage, or work with your leadership team in all of your company's functional business areas. Our teams also provide leadership initiatives such as strategy and operations assessments, large-scale transformation projects and channel and market development. FMG has extensive experience in assessing market and operational opportunities, strategy formulation, realignment and implementation, and can provide an innovative environment in which to consider new ideas on how to sustain growth, and maintain forward momentum and positive morale. Performance measurement systems such as balanced scorecards are also
important strategic tools to help move strong companies to an even higher
level of performance, by re-setting performance expectations and articulating
enterprise-wide goals and visions. FMG is different because we proactively provide leadership, industry experience and functional expertise in a way that reduces risk and overall cost for our clients. We work in partnership with our clients to maximize stakeholder value, and deploy only the most seasoned CXO-Teams to implement sustainable and durable solutions. Some of our competitive advantages:
