ORGANIZATIONAL REVITALIZATION, REORGANIZATION AND REINVENTION

"EP's support and unique perspective were vital to the development and communication of our vision, and in jump-starting our culture change process. Balance Point has helped us understand what we must do, both as an organization and as individuals to ensure our future success"

- James R. Leva, Chairman, CEO & President
General Public Utilities Corporation (GPU)

Reinvention

Globalization. Market migration. Outsourcing. Every new strategic buzzword describes reactions to business trends and in today's marketplace, sweeping changes often come unexpectedly. Free-flowing information has short-circuited every industry's lines of communication. In the age of the Internet, the Intranet and the Extranet, technologies evolve and markets shift almost overnight.

Companies must continually reinvent themselves as well as their products. Management must take responsibility not only for setting new business goals, but getting a critical mass of employees to support them. Those that don't are being swept aside or swallowed every day.

EP's clients know that having an expert and committed partner on the journey makes a positive difference.

Reorganization

Your new CEO may have been duly elected by the Board of Directors or your new division president may have the CEO's support, but will he or she be genuinely welcomed by a majority of employees? They will need to win them over as well - and quickly - If they plan to implement major strategic changes. The same holds true right down the chain of command, into every division and international operation.

Balance Point provides a valuable outside voice to "shake things up", to interrupt old and perhaps no longer useful patterns and then consciously choose new, more positive and productive ones.

Mergers and Acquisitions

Most aren't near as successful as hoped. Consider the facts:
The total value of mergers and acquisitions in the US is about $1 trillion per year. More than 60% of these diminish the overall market value of the companies. Half result in lowered productivity, profits, or both. Between 33% and 55% of all acquisitions are divested within five years. Analysts consider only one in five mergers financially successful.

Beating these terrible odds requires careful attention to creating an organizational culture that includes all stakeholders in a shared commitment to success of the new entity.

When the old rules don't work...

.it's time to formulate some that apply to new functions, new markets, new products, and especially new ways of dealing with cultural inertia. Regardless of market forces, an organization without a critical mass of employees who can envision and forward its mission is destined to run into an invisible brick wall - a barrier that already exists in the minds and hearts of its employees.

Traditional management methods won't work here, because the processes themselves are different. What will work is a breakthrough in the collective mindset. What will catalyze such a breakthrough is true leadership - the ability to demonstrate and elicit cohesion, coherence and conviction of principle.

If your company is on the verge of reinventing its core business practices, reorganizing its leadership or exploring a merger or acquisition, or if any of these are already in process, we can assist you to identify your strengths and weaknesses, define your goals, communicate your new vision, mobilize your management team, and win the enthusiasm of your people.
