Whether for a specific business area or the company overall, we can help you develop an achievable strategy with measurable goals and create an action plan that outlines the specific steps needed to achieve those goals.

Rebuild trust, reestablish norms, and retain employees
Following a crisis, company leaders need to ensure that all bad actors and bad actions have been fully addressed, so that the organization is positioned to move beyond the crisis incident and reestablish normal operations. Employees need assurance that the situation has been fully addressed, that the organization is getting back on track, and that the company and their jobs are secure. In cases where employees experienced direct harm because of the incident, support is needed to reestablish psychological safety and to lay the foundation for rebuilding trust.
Our team has enabled multiple organizations to successfully recover from crisis, both when personnel changes needed to be made and when the full team remained intact. As an outside contractor, we have the ability to establish strict confidentiality, enabling the collection of sensitive information that employees can be reluctant to share with leadership or human resources. Through our independent review, we uncover root causes, identify unaddressed issues, recommend a recovery strategy, and support leadership and human resources in reconciling the situation and moving the organization forward.
Create alignment to ensure value
Alignment of the executive leadership team is crucial when a company is preparing for sale. Leaders must share the same goals and vision to collectively complete the arduous process of positioning the company for the sale process. Unfortunately, unclear communication, competing goals, and personal agendas can all impede a successful sale. Moreover, leaders are often unfamiliar with the vetting process and unprepared to navigate this intensive experience.
If you are preparing your company for a sale, our team can save you time and protect your value by ensuring alignment among the leadership team. We will work with you to clarify communication, address company challenges, identify any weak links or potential bad actors, and ready the group for the vetting process. We can help leaders understand this unique process and prepare your team for successful leadership interviews, leading you to a successful sale result.
