We had struggled for a while to understand why we were having such problems in turning the business around. What Corporate Lifecycles did for us was to help us put in place a clear structure and strong plan in plain, unambiguous language that fitted the needs of the business. By supporting us through the implementation, they got us on track to reach our profit targets for 2006 and 2007! We couldn’t have achieved this without their input.
"The Corporate LifeCycles methodology enabled us to handle a difficult situation very professionally and the results achieved are thanks to your structured approach to problem solving. I look forward to developing the project with the team we have in place, and producing an exciting and profitable business."
"The tools and processes worked for us. They brought clarity and focus to our strategic options and helped us to develop and implementation plan that had the support of the entire senior management team. I strongly recommend it."
Are you a Founder, Chief Executive or a Managing Director looking to work with your leadership team to design and implement change programs that accelerate the achievement of growth, profit and other wider goals in your organisation?
Are you looking for a partner with an enviable track record of success - who can help both growing or ageing organisations to rapidly tackle growth, profitability and other intractable business problems?
Then we could be your partner of choice - our core competence is business management. We focus on making things happen, not writing reports.
The success our clients achieve, is in part, a function of the powerful concepts, methods, and tools we help to to deploy. Central among these is the concept of Organisational Lifecycles, which provides a useful roadmap for framing and resolving the challenges that organisations must overcome to be successful.
The lifecycle model provides unique insights into three fundamental questions:
-
What does it take to be a high performing organisation?
-
Why do many organisations fail to maximise their potential?
-
Why do many of the organisations that achieve greatness, fail to sustain it, and fall into decline?
Adizes: Corporate Lifecycles (Englewood Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, 1988)
We are particularly adept at transforming organisations that are in the following stages of their Lifecycle: -
-
Go-Go to Adolescent stage companies experiencing growing pains.
-
Companies in or at risk of the Founder’s Trap
-
Ageing organisations in need of rejuvenation.
Our methods apply to any organisation and any industry.
Since our industry-specific domain expertise can never match the cumulative knowledge already resident in the organisation, we work in a way that harnesses that expertise.
