Strategic Alignment
Strategy (n.) "the art of a general, the science of war," from the French stratégie (16c.) Many companies struggle with execution, often blaming poor leadership, inadequate talent, or lack of process excellence. A disconnect often exists between leaders who believe in their strategy yet find fault with its implementation.
Our leaders have got the backs of teams who measure their effectiveness against the toughest benchmark: high-performance leadership.
Our Leaders are called in when clients need to:
- Ensure the strategy is both ambitious and realistic, avoiding overly optimistic or pessimistic errors.
- Understand the essential capabilities required for executing the strategy.
- Develop an operating model that assigns clear ownership of strategic goals and capabilities.
- Manage interdependencies between organisational units and allocate resources effectively.
- Assign the right talent to key roles and ensure alignment with strategic goals.
- Implement a management system to guide daily decision-making and execution.
- Combine management control with conditions for local adaptation and empowerment of staff.
- Build self-corrective feedback loops to quickly address issues and improve ways of working.
Our Services
Strategic Options Assessment
The strategic option recommended by industry experts is always compelling, that was the purpose of the review and concluding board paper. Our leaders understand that implementation happens in the real world. The buck stops with the executive team, we help you work out ‘how’ once the ‘why and what’ have been agreed.
Business planning and execution
We sanitised the adage ‘proper planning and preparation prevents poor performance’ yet it remains foolish to disregard it. Top-down business plans codify strategic intent, planning and preparation come next. We know how operational and tactical planning cycles align decision-making and action-taking without comes to deliver results that meet expectations.
Integrations and carve-outs
The success of corporate M&A is determined after the transaction has closed and the advisory fees are paid. Deriving optimal shareholder value from complex business and assets deals requires transformation planning, enhanced controls and risk management, business continuity safeguards and seamless uniting or surgical separation of structures, technology and culture. Help is at hand; our leaders have done this before.
Capital Raising and Financing
Leadership is a necessity to attracting capital, which behaves as a commodity. Market uncertainty, volatile asset valuations and shifting liquidity raise the stakes for all players. Speed to results has never been more critical. We bring an action bias to equity and debt raising, refinancing, debt restructuring, and accelerated M&A.
