Tap over 30 years of corporate experience to help you evaluate your resources and jumpstart your organization or department. A Principal of Aurigen will listen carefully to the concerns of management and get involved with the people and processes that create the product or service you provide. We ask questions designed to determine who has an agenda -- and whether that agenda serves the overall good of the company.

We listen and observe -- and then we listen again. Aurigen will make clear, sound recommendations based on information gleaned from years of experience in the corporate world -- seeing what worked and what didn't -- and understanding why.

Restructuring a company will not insure success -- good people do that. Aurigen will help you identify the people within your organization who will work with you to acheive success. That leads us to a Staffing Plan.

Formerly Senior Vice President

Mrs. Emmons spent 28 years with the American Stock Exchange in a number of executive positions, including:

• Corporate Secretary
• Vice President, Member Services
• Vice President Marketing and Corporate Relations
• Senior Vice President, Marketing and Investor Relations

Ms. Emmons now consults with clients on the design of customized web sites. Her typical client is a small to mid-sized company or an independent entrepreneur --- companies or individuals with defined budgets that must realize value for every dollar expended.

She also consults with clients regarding a variety of management and marketing issues, including divisional and departmental restructuring, staffing plans, and implementation plans. Each aspect of restructuring is approached as an independent module -- one step at a time, building on the previous module -- to create a cohesive plan that will work for your organization.

Resolving management issues is a highly collaborative effort and we work along with our clients, taking into account existing budgetary and manpower constraints.

Ms. Emmons has also lectured at the graduate level on the securities markets and related topics, providing an overview of the three primary American marketplaces: the New York and American Exchanges and NASDAQ. As Senior Vice President of Marketing for the AMEX, Mrs. Emmons was responsible for the development of educational programs. In that capacity, she spoke with diverse groups, including senior managements of publicly-held companies, international business delegations, investment clubs and university groups.

Aurigen will help you identify key functions and develop job descriptions that lay out the qualities needed to fill them. You can then evaluate your existing human resources to determine whether you have the talent in-house to fill those positions. In many cases you will -- in others, professional training might be made available to key employees who have demonstrated the ability to adjust to changing needs in the past.

When key functions are identified, Aurigen will help you establish reporting lines and accountability -- Management Controls to alert you to problems early on, while they can still be fixed.

Aurigen can help you implement tried and true control mechanisms. Bureaucratic red tape? Not if you do it properly!

Much of a company's success in implementing change depends on the people it employs. Whether you are hiring new people or continuing with existing staff, there are Incentives -- not necessarily monetary incentives -- that management can use to encourage employees to embrace the new plan, rather than fight it.

Change is a double-edged sword. It energizes some people and scares the daylights out of others. Your company will probably have employees who fit into each category. It is important for management to approach structural issues in a step-by-step manner, in partnership with employees.

Incentives need not always be financial in nature to be effective. Budgetary constraints may require you to be more creative. Aurigen will help you develop a dialogue among your senior managers about the types of incentives that could work for you.

A Restructuring Plan is only as good as the Implementation Plan that sets the wheels rolling. Many fine consulting reports are gathering dust on the shelf for lack of a sound plan to execute what everyone agreed it was necessary to do.

Aurigen will help you develop an Implementation Plan that fosters teamwork, loyalty and a sense of pride in success. The results can be impressive!

Following acceptance of Restructuring and Staffing Plans, Aurigen will help you construct an Implementation roadmap to assist you in insuring that everyone involved with execution of the new strategy understands what steps are necessary to set the wheels in motion.
