SERVICES
HEDGE FUND/PE INVESTOR ASSESSMENT AND DEVELOPMENT
Our experience and understanding of the investment process enables us to be specific about characterizing an investor's capabilities, limitations, level of independence, and ways of collaborating with others - up, down, sideways and externally. We help hiring managers anticipate how analysts and portfolio managers identify and capitalize on opportunities, recognize and manage risks, and integrate into a given organization, culture and investment style.
PE/M&A MANAGEMENT DUE DILIGENCE AND PRE-HIRE EXECUTIVE ASSESSMENT
We reveal and articulate a leader's capabilities, development areas and motivations relative to a specific role and organizational context, so that both sides can enter into the relationship with objectivity and realism, supporting the ability to rely on core strengths, adapt selectively, or complement gaps in order to be collectively successful.
PROMOTION-READINESS AND CEO SUCCESSION PLANNING
We advise on comprehensive talent strategy, organizational design, and long-range organizational planning to enable organizations to deliver on near-term operational and financial targets while positioning for success over multiple generations.
SPECIAL SITUATIONS AND REORGANIZATIONS
We support distressed investors and operating executives throughout the reorganization process to swiftly lead troubled organizations through periods of intense challenges, decisive action and transformational change.
ONBOARDING AND PERFORMANCE ACCELERATION
We develop targeted, specific recommendations to support onboarding, integration, performance, development and retention. We have worked with fully-remote, hybrid and traditional organizations and support managers and individuals as needed across these modes of operating.
PRIORITIZATION & EXECUTION
We help founders, partners and executive teams clarify and align on key goals, sequence investments and initiatives, recognize and manage interdependencies, leverage key strengths and complement each other intentionally.
360-DEGREE LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
We bring objectivity and sensitivity to 360-feedback, surfacing insights that can be difficult to articulate, helping people focus on their greatest strengths and differentiators while addressing opportunities for development with specific recommendations.
REMOTE-WORK ORGANIZATIONAL DIAGNOSTICS AND SUPPORT
Remote and hybrid working arrangements require adaptations to communication cadences and content, to manage teams effectively, and collaborate across groups. We support organizations through diagnostics, pulse-checks, and ongoing support to ensure teams are operating efficiently and evolving proactively.
TRAINING - HIRING, ONBOARDING AND PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT
We conduct workshops to train teams on best practices in hiring, as well as frameworks and tools for execution and collaboration. We also conduct seminars and serve as guest lecturers at select universities.
