Our clients rely on our objective expertise in four core areas, all of which center on managing the Key Talent Pipeline:

• 'Onboarding' and Team Integration
  • Attracting Talent
  • Industry Talent Benchmarking
  • Compensation Benchmarking

 

• Professional Development
  • Performance Management/Review
  • Performance Coaching
  • Retaining Key Talent

 

• Succession Planning
  • Mission Critical Vacancies
  • Key Talent Career Planning

 

• Attrition
  • Contingency Planning
  • Planned Reductions in Force

Because unexpected vacancies in critical positions can and do happen, we help our clients with SPIKE: Succession Planning Initiative for Key Executives. SPIKE mitigates the risk and total cost of such an event. Please see our SPIKE Practice Area page for further detail.

Within our clients’ operating businesses, we:

• Build on strategic plans by focusing on who will implement them.

• When it makes sense, we recruit the right executive from outside the firm to take on key leadership positions.

• Before they acquire additional operating businesses, we conduct due diligence from the human capital perspective - knowing the strengths and weaknesses of the prospective leadership team both mitigates risk and determines a more accurate fair market value. 

• When business conditions mandate downsizing, we offer customized outplacement services and career transition coaching.

"Sun Tzu Redux:

The Art of Talent War"
