Leadership for Today and Tomorrow.
Setting the Course For the Organization: Design, Culture, Talent.
Challenge
A niche company with a strong position in custom equipment management systems approached Dewar Sloan with concerns about leadership depth, capacity, succession planning, and the evolution of the company.
The broader issue at stake?
Leadership that matched-up with the strategy, culture, resources, and structure needed to assure the near-term and long-term success of the company.
Options and Solutions
Dewar Sloan worked with four Strategic Teams to explore a series of issues, trends, and forces that would shape the best prospects for current and future leadership.
- The Insight Team explored changes in the nature of the Work to Be Done by the organization.
- The Markets Team studied the Customer – who they are, what they want, and how they act in the marketplace.
- The Talents Team examined the Talent Base and Talent Supply Chains of the company – as part of the company’s structure and strategy picture.
- The Culture Team reviewed the principles, values, practices, and norms that would support the core business as well as the adjacent business development avenues.
In roughly 120 days, these teams framed a clear set of ideas that came into form as strong leadership options and practical leadership solutions.
