The optimum business strategy only becomes a reality when people can see not just the goal but the means to get there.
Any organisation is limited by the quality of information brought to the decision making process. It is the quality, as well as the interpretation, of the information we provide which is the linchpin for executives wanting to gain the best understanding of themselves, their people, and the organisations they run.
We help our clients to cope with the impact of important events in the life cycle of their organisation, on their people and the structure of the organisation.
We distinguish four types of events: Strategic Change, Mergers & Acquisitions, Internationalisation, Globalisation and Succession Planning. In order to give you a flavour of how we assist our clients, we have illustrated their major concerns with regard to the above events with a non-exhaustive list of real customer demands and requests.
In order to survive and grow, organisations must identify and develop tomorrow's managers. Identifying those with potential cannot be done on track record alone, as tomorrow's needs will be different from today's.

Assignments in which we are involved in order to solve our clients' succession planning issues can be related to the following areas of client concern:
Strategic Change refers to the need of an organisation to reposition itself in the market in order to strengthen its competitive advantage.
This quite often results in creating a new business and operating model focusing on more added value for the clients and organising the company in a more efficient and effective way.

Mergers and acquisitions refer to all activities that are related to creating a new company, business unit or business line due to the merger or acquisition of two or more organizations, resulting in the need to create new executive management teams, governance models, a business strategy, business and operating models, and corporate culture.
The success of creating strategic corporate alliances will depend strongly on the senior executives' capabilities to exercise influence. Consequently managers need to follow suit, forming strategic alliances of their own with anyone who has a stake in their area.
The success of a merger or an acquisition will therefore depend strongly on the senior executives' abilities to show mutual respect, create a climate of openness, generate trust and create mutual benefits.

In today's global economy organisational strategies, structures and operating models become more and more complex. The success of the organisation as a whole will depend on its capability to acquire and develop managers who are able to interact with colleagues from several countries and cultures.
