examples of what we have done

In the case of one of our largest automotive supplier clients, we helped to establish and develop a systems engineering group which has become the envy of its competitors, and the model for its primary OEM within the Big Three.

In one of our smaller family-owned companies, we helped resolve the years-long, serious dispute between the two owner-brothers, got them to agree to reintegrate their executive teams under one general manager, and returned them to profitability. They then decided to sell their business, which was worth 1.5 times the value at sale, what it had been valued at when we began our work about 19 months previously.

In one of our clients, which is a super-regional bank, we did culture studies at the time of its merger-of-equals experience, outlined our findings with extensive recommendations for integrating their two cultures, and worked with most of the key executives to resolve communication problems and to help make the merger a dramatic success.

In yet another client, which is owned by two partners, we assisted them to begin talking and working together, after years of an impasse in their relationship. We have proceeded, with their continued cooperation and support, to help them build an effective management team, to establish a workable business plan, and to help them restructure their business into a much more efficient, effective, and empowered organization. They are rapidly moving into increasing prominence and profitability within their highly competitive industry.

In another of our globally prominent clients, we have worked effectively to assist a series of Chairmen and CEO's to put together global executive teams. We have facilitated succession planning for many of these executives and their direct reports. We have worked with the leaders within their R&D organization, to help create a climate for innovation. We have also worked, on a regular basis, to facilitate cross-training and mega-team building across functions and geographic areas, to reduce parochial disputes and to enhance effective collaboration.

In all of our companies, we have been routinely called upon to work on troubled employee issues. We are trained corporate mediators, who work in this role to assist our clients with workplace disputes. We also offer training seminars to companies, including our own clients, who want to learn how their managers and their employees can self-manage internal conflicts and disputes without violence or the need for legal intervention.
