Prepare for Change

Where an organisation is undergoing change, or where investment, merger/ acquisition or consolidation is being considered, the quality of management is critical. Two issues invariably emerge:

• the need to objectively assess the calibre of existing management -their collective and individual talents and contribution to the success of the organisation; and

• the need determine that existing management can take the business forward under what may be changed circumstances -their ability to deliver shareholder / stakeholder value with new objectives or a different culture.

We make our assessment of management and their future capabilities through a management audit process. This is comprised of two distinct phases:

Our understanding, as consultants, of the organisation's

• Existing ethos and culture.

• Business(es) and markets.

• Internal structures and relationships.

• Future strategy and business plans.

Our view, as executive selection professionals, of individual executive's

• Background and experience.

• Professional skills and commercial expertise.

• Management competencies.

• Personal assets.

• Accountability for 'delivery'.

• Record of performance.

Therefore, our findings and report provide clients with a comprehensive, insightful picture of the management team. In cases of acquisitions and mergers, this information can significantly aid the integration process.
