Forge Advisory
Interim leadership support
the hidden cost of a vacancy.
When an operational leader’s chair sits empty, the business pays the price. Industry studies show that companies lose 15-25% of productivity and throughput within the first 60 days of a leadership vacancy. Projects stall. Decisions get delayed. Momentum fades. And the workforce feels the gap more than anyone else.
