WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Fitco-consulting has recently undertaken an important talent acquisition function for us across the ASEAN region, especially in both Singapore and Indonesia. Fitco tailored each search accurately and suitable talents were both promptly identified, approached, interviewed, screened, persuaded and presented to us by a highly professional process.
We can therefore highly recommend Fitco-Consulting for its professional, personalized and efficient services and for providing leadership and strategic consulting solutions as accredited by its long-term membership of AESC."
Liang Bo
China Telecom - Singapore HR Manager
"From the start, Fitco-Consulting impressed us with their efficient, professional manner - an approach that not only inspired confidence, but generated the results we were looking for. We needed a Head of Asia Business Development to start our Asia operations. After an intriguing interview process and analysis of our company and desired candidate, they found the right person in just 8 weeks. They have gone beyond our expectations to deliver great candidates for selection and have guided us to making the correct offer."

GOOD TO GREAT
Fitco consulting encourages their clients to follow Good to Great principles, building Level 5 Leaders in order to achieve success on their personal and professional endeavors.
Built to last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the very beginning.
But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies change to achieve enduring greatness?
Our Number 1 client, Allegro Microsystems shows the way with Good to Great philosophies applied including getting the right people on the bus as Fitco has enabled them to do since 2012 and since 2014 they have grown at over 33% per annum in the world's largest automotive market in China.
Why some companies make the leap and others don't?

GOOD TO GREAT COMPANY CHARACTERISTICS

Level 5 Leadership
Level 5 executives "Build enduring greatness through a paradoxical blend of personal humility and professional will" Collins explains
Level 5 Leadership
Heading 4
The Hedgehog concept
Good to Great companies are like hedgehogs - "simple, dowdy creatures that knows 'one big thing' and stick to it. The comparison companies are more like foxes - crafty, cunning creatures that know many things yet lack consistency" says Collins. Good to Great companies apply the hedgehog concept to find simplicity within three intersected circles: what you can be the best in the world at; what you are deeply passionate about; and what drives your economic engine.
The Hedgehog concept (simplicity within the three circles)

The Flywheel Concept
"No matter how dramatic the end result, Good to Great transformations never happened in one fell swoop," says Collins. "There was no single defining action, no grand program, no one killer innovation, no solitary lucky break [like the Hush Puppies epidemic], no miracle moment. Rather, the process resembled relentlessly pushing a giant heavy flywheel in one direction, turn upon turn, building momentum until a point breakthrough, and beyond."
The Flywheel Concept

1st Who..Then What
Good to Great leaders "first get the right people on the bus, the wrong people off the bus, and the right people in the right seats - and then they figure out where to drive it." says Collins
1st Who ... Then What

A Culture of Discipline
“All companies have a culture, some companies have discipline, but few companies have a culture of discipline,” Collins explains. “When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great performance.”
ACulture of Discipline
Heading 4
Confront the brutal facts, yet never lose faith
"Every Good to Great company embraced the [Vietnam POW] Stockdale Paradox: you must maintain unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end regardless of the diffifulties, and, at the same time, have the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be." - Collins
Confront the brutal facts, yet never lose faith

Technology Accelerators
"Good to Great companies think differently about the role of technology," says Collins. "They never use technology as the primary means of igniting a transformation. Yet, paradoxically, they are pioneers in the application of carefully selected technologies."
