What We Do Best Organization Design Elevating a Mid-Market Manufacturer to New Heights A pivotal player in the industrial plumbing sector, specializing in equipment for healthcare facilities and commercial buildings, faced a critical juncture. Their quest for growth had stalled, hampered by outdated processes and an organizational structure that hindered rather than helped progress. Inefficiencies ran rampant, from paper-based systems to a lengthy sales cycle that made effective client servicing and market expansion seemingly unattainable. The Challenge Our client was in dire need of a strategic overhaul to ignite growth and build a foundation for scalable success. Our Approach Embarking on a journey of transformative change, we closely collaborated with the company’s leadership, utilizing our blueprint as the driving force for innovation and efficiency. Our comprehensive strategy included: Holistic Assessment: A thorough evaluation of sales, marketing, and operational processes, alongside talent and organizational health, revealed critical pain points such as reliance on outdated systems, a failing CRM, and a lack of cohesive teamwork.

Mastering a Post-Merger Integration​

What We Do Best Post Merger Integration A TALE OF TRANSFORMATION Mastering a Post-Merger Integration In a decisive move aimed at enhancing its service offerings, an influential American entity opted to acquire a Canadian services firm renowned for its distinct and complementary capabilities. This merger was seen as a crucial element in the parent company’s ambitious strategy to diversify and solidify its services-centric approach. However, the initial change management initiative quickly evolved into a comprehensive mission, incorporating go-to-market strategies, organizational restructuring, and process optimization. The Challenge Integrating two distinct entities, particularly when expanding service capabilities rather than just scale alone, poses an intricate challenge—similar to unraveling a multidimensional puzzle. The objective wasn’t solely to merge, but to meld diverse talents, technologies, and traditions into a unified, more powerful whole. The hurdles were numerous: Disparate, paper-based operational systems bogging down efficiency. A clunky CRM system complicating client relationship management. High staff turnover and a lack of collaboration undermining organizational health. Our intervention was twofold: creating a new vision and to executing a smooth transformation. We delved deep into the heart of the companies’ operations, assessing sales, marketing, solution design, and more, only to discover a landscape ready for significant change. Our Magical Blueprint The Transformation This journey of integration and innovation marked a new chapter for both the American and Canadian firms, transforming them from separate entities into a unified force, poised for market dominance. By weaving together their diverse capabilities, we not only accelerated their integration timeline but also crafted a strategy that was truly greater than the sum of its parts.

Revolutionizing Change Management in a Large Sales Organization​

What We Do Best Tech and AI Adoption Revolutionizing Change Management in a Large Sales Organization The Challenge A large sales organization approached us with a critical challenge, to implement new software across their entire workforce. Their history of troubled implementations had led to: Our Innovative Approach We recognized that traditional change management methods weren’t sufficient. Our team developed a unique strategy that blended psychology and data analytics to drive successful transformation.  Our Strategy Employee Segmentation We identified and leveraged two key groups, results-drivers and resilient employees. Results-Drivers are employees comfortable with ambiguity and motivated by complex challenges. Resilient Employees are adaptable individuals eager for new experiences and learning. Flipping the Script on Resistance Instead of focusing on overcoming resistance, we ignored it and concentrated on building momentum with our change-ready segments. Data-driven Decision-making We used advanced analytics to identify the right employees for each stage of the implementation process. The Implementation Process Results and Impact Our approach led to Key Takeaways 1. Focus on Resilience, NOT Resistance Empower those ready for change instead of trying to convince resistors. 2. Leverage Data and Psychology Use behavioral insights to identify and engage the right employees at each stage. 3. Tailor Your Approach Develop strategies that resonate with different employee segments. 4. Build Momentum through Success Stories Let early adopters become your change ambassadors. 5. Utilize Practical Motivators For more resistant groups, tie change to tangible benefits like improved workflows or potential for increased commissions. Conclusion By adopting this data-driven, psychology-based approach to change management, organizations can significantly increase the success rate of their transformation initiatives while minimizing drama and resistance. Our case study demonstrates that by focusing on those employees most adaptable to change, a positive ripple effect can be created throughout the organization, naturally drawing in even the most reluctant employees.
