STRATEGIC PLANNING & FACILITATION

Do we need external support to facilitate our strategic planning discussions?

business planStrategic Planning is a crucial process for your business and leadership team. It is the moment where the Leadership Team discusses and aligns about mission, ambition, focus areas, must-wins, inspiring goals, core capabilities and critical success factors. Discussion and alignment should be based on a thorough understanding of market developments, market position and ability of the organization. People in your team may and will have very different perspectives on current position and performance, and on how success looks like in the future, and what is needed to achieve that.

We believe it is best when strategic planning discussions are facilitated by an external, independent consultant. We apply proven approaches and methodologies for strategic planning. We will guide you successfully to and through the heart of the issues. We ensure everyone’s participation and open communication, thus resulting in better conversations. We work with you towards top team alignment and the intended outcomes

CROSS BORDER OPPORTUNITIES

How to develop our business in markets and cultures we are not familiar with?

cross borderToday's marketplace provides enormous opportunities to open up business in other countries. However with that also come huge challenges and huge risks. There are many examples where cross-border moves went wrong and didn't bring the intended results. A thorough understanding of market needs, market dynamics and local policies and practices, is essential to assess whether a specific cross-border move is feasible and what the best approach would be.

With our partners, who are specialized in certain markets and industries (especially China, India, other APAC countries, Middle East & Europe), we can provide deep insights in markets and cultures, and open up new opportunities for your company in countries you are not familiar with.

 

BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT EXPLORATION

Which new areas should we explore for continuing our business success?

We believe that sustainability will play an increasingly important role when it comes to market developments, custumoer needs and the way you (have to) do your business.

We identify growth opportunities for your company, based on a thorough exploration and assessment of evolving customer needs, market developments, mission, capabilities and relationships.

HR DUE DILIGENCE & POST-MERGER INTEGRATION

How do we ensure a good match and how can we achieve the best of both worlds? 
integration DNABetween 70 and 90% of mergers and acquisitions fail. They are not delivering the expected synergies. Main reason for this is that the "people and culture" factor is overlooked and not well addressed. Mergers and acquisitions cannot be taken lightly. Not only two companies need to integrate under one mission, but they also need to bring together large groups of people with their own personalities, ambitions, behavioural traits and ways of working. A thorough people and culture due diligence is essential to assess whether a good integration is possible, and if yes, under what kind of conditions.

An independent 3rd party can play the right role in independeltly mapping the two companies and in bridging between the two companies, so that finally the DNA's of both companies will be integrated successfully in one -even stronger- cultural DNA. With our expertise and experience in Organization Development and Mergers & Acquisitions we can play the independent connector and advisor you are looking for to make the integration a succes.
