Transition Support

January 22, 2012 By Ira Chaleff

Transitions are opportunities for great strides forward but also pose significant dangers. Transitions can include a new management team taking over an organization or division, or an existing management team dramatically refocusing and restructuring its operation. Having a skilled, loyal transition team to support you while you are forming or rebuilding your permanent team can make a critical difference to the success of the endeavor.

Our services are tailored to fit the client’s needs. The services can include a combination of any of the following:

  • Identification of critical issues to manage
  • Evaluation of resources with which to manage issues
  • Identification of organization culture and strengths
  • Determination of approaches to minimize resistance to change
  • Leadership support while team being tested and assembled
  • Identification of critical human resource needs
  • Evaluation of adequacy of tactical responses to current or impending crises
  • Mission reevaluation
  • Business idea rejuvenation/reinvention
  • Key process mapping and reengineering
  • Organization cultural change interventions
  • Organizational restructuring
  • Transformational project support
  • Organization moves or workplace redesign

Case History: Career Transition

December 28, 2011 By Ira Chaleff

ISSUE:

For twenty-five years this journalist had been employed by a national newspaper organization and had gained popularity through a commentary published weekly by the paper. At the end of such a stellar career, the question was “What Next?” With just a few months to decide on the next move, the challenge was finding something that created a match between skills, interests, and available positions for a retiring journalist.

INDUSTRY:

Newspaper

SIZE:

—

CLIENT:

Journalist

SOLUTION:

Starting with an idea on a paper napkin, we crafted a strategy for creating the ideal job that served to meet the client’s personal and professional needs. Through exercises, consultations, research, discussions with colleagues, and sessions with a selected team of advisors, we created a job that not only served the client’s needs but also served an important unmet need of her employer.

RESULTS:

Although her job has changed significantly, the client remains with her employer. For the last four years, she has developed a highly productive nonprofit organization that provides hands-on assistance to aspiring to young journalists in high schools and colleges. From the beginning her employer embraced the project and supplied funding to it because of the substantial value it brings to the company, especially by raising its profile as an outstanding corporate citizen.
