Selected Success Stories
Our thoughtful and common-sense approach incorporates five key elements: Vision, Mission, Strategies, Objectives, and Plans. It allows organizations to make the complex simple—the job of strategy formulation—and make the simple work—the job of strategy implementation. As Andy Grove of Intel put it, “Strategy is important. Figuring out what to do is important. Doing them and doing them well is equally important.”
Case Study I
The Challenge:
A US-based client, promoted to a launch new organization in a highly-politicized and unionized European environment in a rather unstable industry, retained us to mastermind the highly risky launch.
Our Action:
We studied the industry trends, the external and internal environment, and organization's objectives while focusing on the cultural differences. We developed, linked, and helped communicate the vision, strategies, organizational design, goals, and specific plans for talent management, customer loyalty, and infrastructure upgrade.
The Result:
The launch of the momentous change effort went without a hitch and was successful in driving standardization, process consolidation, and customer-facing presence. It resulted in strong gains in productivity, asset utilization, and customer retention while creating a premium value framework. The success further propelled the client's executive career winning the following accolade: “As always, Abhay remains one of the most reliable consultants I have worked with in the business.”
Case Study II
The Challenge:
A business unit president retained us to get a read on his fractious global executive team and provide feedback on improving teamwork and collaboration.
Our Action:
We conducted one-on-one interviews with each member of the global executive team. We provided unvarnished feedback to the business unit president about tolerating constructive confrontation and moving from a command and-control model to an empowering leadership model.
The Result:
The president said, "Abhay's debrief was a revealing moment for me." The process was praised by the global executive team as thorough and objective. It generated a healthy give-and-take about collaboration, teamwork, and accountability.
