We brought alongside us many external partners over the years, in a joined effort to offer integrated solutions to the market, be them in CSR, Employer Branding, Training and Legal Advisory.
Restructuring/ Transformation
The external environment has become very complex, uncertain, volatile, and ambiguous and organizations and leaders are forced to adapt. With management focusing on business-as-usual matters, it is usually rather difficult to anticipate and avoid potential crisis scenarios. Therefore, as soon as concerns become imminent facts, it is vital to start early to assess the situation and develop a plan allowing the company to consider the options, proactively manage the stakeholders, employees and clients and coordinate the situation to the business best interests.
The restructuring is only a step in a more complex project, the company preparing for a sale, buyout, merger or substantial change in its objectives.
Our approach is to assist, advise and support the leaders and managers of the organization to manage the organizational anxiety, to accept that there is no perfect solutions but rather good enough, to move with small steps and not to fight change. We provide to our clients highly customized services mixing different services: legal & HR expert advises, project management, communication and training, all in the purpose of optimizing operational efficiency and hence ensure overall business performance improvement.

M&A does not end when the transaction is finalised. This is the point when the real work starts to build a new organization able to deliver the forecasted business benefits. Also, this is the moment when the two organizations have already consumed most of their energetic resources on the transaction itself and do not have the ENERGY, nor the TIME or EXPERTISE to manage the integration.
