Typical Issues where we find solutions.

Organizations desire to:
  • Figure out whether the talent they have can implement the strategy that has been formulated:
    • 3.5B Health Care Firm: Assessed over 400 leaders worldwide in 90 days—information used to restructure the company and drive out significant costs.
    • Security Firm: Decision was that this company did not have the talent to implement their strategy and they subsequently deferred an aggressive acquisition approach to get talent ready; grew into 1.5 B firm, acquired by larger firm.
  • Assist a new CEO with a mandate to change the culture
    • Large University Health System: Found picture not optimal—significant gaps, used process to change many of the players out and brought in 'game-changers'.
    • Technology Company: Described "getting the talent picture right as Job 1"; used process to build business case for higher performance—approximately 50 of those in leadership positions were poor performers...costs were 28mm.
  • Improve the Succession Planning Process
    • 3B Industrial Firm: Helped design, develop and implement a re-vamped Succession Planning Process with teeth that significantly changed the quality of the output of talent.
    • Privately held Grocery Chain: Along with the Chairman and senior team, we revamped their total process of assessing and developing talent, trained internal staff to conduct talent reviews and on request, performed a yearly assessment of the senior team.
  • Acquisitions—Getting a handle on the talent
    • Large International Bank: Approximately 400 B in assets ...process of assessing talent and change put in number of years ago; now, one of the normal due diligence tools.
  • Culure assimilation—Merging two large Consumer Product Companies
    • Analysis of the existing culture in each company...information was taken into a working session with senior team...new behaviors described; impact was measured at 6 and 12 months.
