Approaches
We have developed approaches for addressing the core elements required to bring an organization to peak performance. This section describes some of the ways we work with clients to create lasting improvement.
Business Strategy:
Merger Integration Risk Assessment
More than 50% of all mergers and acquisitions fail to create shareholder value. Studies consistently show that, of these underperforming mergers, the majority fail due to unsuccessful organizational and cultural integration.
Crafting A Fully-Integrated Plan
It was a time of tremendous change, and a good planning process was more important than ever. Could the company institute a new process without creating more disruption?
Insight Pricing
Many companies leave significant value on the table because they haven’t developed an ample understanding of what their customers are willing to pay. Insight Pricing gives companies the clarity to make confident decisions about pricing.
Formal & Informal Organization:
Organizational Design
A national telecom service provider had gone through a series of restructuring events that perpetuated disagreements about its business model. Resolving these issues allowed the organization to tighten its accountability, decision-making and strategic focus.
Organizing the Unorganizable
Formal organization charts rarely explain how an organization really works - not because the charts are out of date, but because informal networks and processes are essential. Understanding and facilitating these informal systems can unlock performance.
Networks for Innovation
We are building a new generation of knowledge management processes, focused on connecting people to people to generate the interplay of perspectives from which innovation takes root.
Leadership & Capability Development:
Winning the Retail Battle
A few critical skills can make all the difference -- and these skills can be taught.
Building Strategy-Critical Skills
Training isn't about generic building-blocks anymore -- it's about what your business needs right now.
Team Discipline
Real team performance is driven by a performance purpose and the disciplined choices it requires.
Top Team
Does the top team really work as a team? Should it? Senior leaders need to decide which challenges require collaboration and which require autonomy.
Motivation & Pride:
How Pride-Building Works
Consultants involved in pride-building projects describe the difference they made.
Accelerating Change through Informal Communities
A large telecommunications company had to motivate frontline employees to act with new confidence and energy. A community of practice focused on pride-building proved its value.
Performance Improvement Initiatives:
Shifting the Curve
Boost frontline performance with this proven method.
Getting People Ready for Performance
When people know what it means to excel, they do.
Change Management:
Enabling A Turnaround
Katzenbach Partners helped a national health insurer navigate a fundamental performance turnaround that engaged key groups of employees in redefining strategic priorities, setting goals, and achieving them.
Sustaining Organizational Change
Key management capabilities - particularly in the area of pride-building - can help consolidate the impact of an organization's strategic refocusing and restructuring, by motivating behavior change and higher performance across the company.
