Operations Restructuring
Phase I
There are times when a corporation decides to look at its longer term, strategic objectives against the senior executive team it currently has in place. There will also be times when the capabilities of that team, for one reason or another, are not consistent with those objectives. In such cases, Simpson Associates provides, to the Board or the CEO or both, a detailed assessment of each member of the senior management team. The data for each individual is collected from a variety of sources, including: a comprehensive psychometric assessment; a detailed, individual interview of each senior team member by Simpson Associates; and input from the client on each person. With this information in hand, the client is armed with a full understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the individual senior team members. The customer is invariably in the position to clearly understand the potential gaps between the short and long term objectives of the corporation and the competencies of the management team. Clients can confidently make the necessary changes in the organization through promotions, lateral moves and, in some cases, demotions and severances, in order to properly prepare the company for achieving its future goals.
Because of the sensitive nature of this high level consulting, we do not publish a client list. Suffice to say, this work has been carried out with relatively small organizations all the way up to those whose revenues are measured in the billions annually.
Phase II
Once the gaps in the senior talent roster have been identified (Phase I), the next phase is to develop and execute on a plan to close those gaps. Simpson Associates, acting as a project manager, handles all aspects of the senior team re-alignment. We choose the appropriate search firms to work with and handle all of the day-to-day interactions with the search firms to complete the work. We vet all the candidates coming through the search firms and manage every piece of the process, right through to offer and acceptance, until the entire project is completed.
Having Simpson Associates project managing this entire process has numerous advantages.
