departments. Search assignments have been successfully carried out on 
behalf of a large number of prominent North Atlantic and European players

Greenfield experience
Campbell Consulting Partners understands the specific executive 
requirements of start-up operations in new and existing markets. On several 
occasions it has fielded complete management teams for companies wishing 
to develop subsidiaries in the Benelux. This requires knowledge of potentially 
complex cross-cultural and cross-border corporate issues. (Go to Projects for 
a detailed reference list.)

Malcolm Campbell handles all Management Team assignments personally. 
He is directly responsible for the results. A strong personal and professional 
network is able to attract experienced and emerging executive talent.

Campbell's column

None of us has a monopoly of understanding concerning best practices in 
business. Throughout my career - whether as a diplomat or as an 
entrepreneur or in my private life - I have tried to understand what special 
quality of leadership is required to deliver results in a specific situation.

If the old adage in consulting is true that "you're only as good as your last 
deal", then I should be O.K. But nonetheless, I will try to keep myself updated 
about that big world out there and my place in it, and pass on some 
observations on a regular basis.

It makes no sense to have a place online if the information is not reviewed 
regularly. This company notice board with personal jottings about the world 
stage is here to ensure this happens.
