Are you thinking about, planning, or implementing a business transformation? Such as an M&A integration or a technology-enabled transformation. The initiative looks great on the surface, but are you worried about: ❌ Not delivering on your value creation commitments? ❌ Taking actions that inadvertently destroy existing value or harm relationships with customers or employees? ❌ Creating a distraction that forces your leaders to take their eye off the ball in your core business? You have good reason to be concerned...70% of M&A and business transformations fail. I get the pressures you feel from investors, employees and yourself because I’ve been there both as a Strategy & Corporate Development executive accountable for sourcing deals and developing strategy and as an Operating executive accountable for delivering value creation plans. Leveraging this experience, I've spent the last ten years as a consultant helping CEOs and their teams successfully integrate their M&A and implement transformation programs across a variety of industries, including software, life sciences, manufacturing, CPG, retail, and transportation. I’ve often been brought in to turn around transformation programs gone wrong. I’ve witnessed leaders fail because of programs with no plan and others with plans that are so detailed that people miss the forest from the trees. My approach is to help CEOs and executive teams focus their integration and transformation planning and execution on the decisions and actions that are most critical to delivering value quickly without disrupting the base businesses. When my team and I work with you and your team, we will help you: ✅ Ensure your business has a clear strategy and plan for the program ✅ Gain executive team alignment on deliverables, sequencing, and approach ✅ Mobilize your teams to capture quick wins and deliver on value-creation commitments ✅ Get the information you need, when you need it so you can mitigate key risks A focused, expertly planned, and implemented transformation program or project will save you money, time, and painful surprises later. Let's discuss how we can help you and your team succeed. You can reach me through DM or email me at [email protected]
