Catch 22

C-level performance: a 'catch-22' situation

Background

... about Board of Directors ...

  • C-level performance is strongly tied to personal positioning and personal risk management and therefore political considerations !
  • Most Board of Directors therefore do not function as an integrated team
  • Organisational performance is not favoured by personal considerations

... about Companies or Strategic Business Units within a Conglomerate or Investment Portfolio ...

  • Directors and Management focus on their own Company or SBU ... and the above ...
  • There is little or no incentive to really work on synergy between Companies or SBUs
  • Board of Directors of the Holding Company or Investment Companies want to achieve synergies but are too dependent on their Directors of the Subsidiaries or SBUs and therefore again the above ...

... about Expanding Multi/International Companies

  • Are bound to recruit C-'teams' (through headhunters) for operational companies in new countries
  • All the above applies to these new C-'teams', that therefore do not really work as a team

Strategic development & operational results

Background

... about the Strategic Development Group (SDG) ...

  • As (strategic) management consultants we experience and understand the personal and organisational hick ups to optimal results and do our best to improve the situation for our clients
  • But sometimes we would have loved to take over the C-level responsibilities and tasks to really manage to targets based on sound strategies and operational effectiveness
  • From time to time we ourselves are approached by headhunters and companies for C-level positions. Given our experiences and observations we do not want to be part of the described 'catch-22' situation. We do however want to contribute in a result oriented way
  • We are a unique blend of (entrepreneurial) consultants, managers and/or ex-C-level associates that together can form the best of breed CxOT® for specific assignments for a specific period of time, working with proven methods and well balanced and focused teams
  • Our CxOT® proposition stretches perfectly our approach and philosophy in Strategic Management Consulting and Interim Management.
