In the Real World
When business strategy and leadership behaviour align
This global company is one of the preeminent leaders in the energy industry. As a ‘top fifty’ company on the TSE, it has grown exponentially over the past several years. Several key challenges face the company as they continue to expand operations, enhance product and service offerings and acquire complimentary organizations.
CYGNUS consultants worked with the senior leadership team of a major business division to clarify and focus their business strategy through a series of guided conversations and facilitated team-based sessions. Leadership commitments and behaviours required to support the strategy were identified using customized assessments and focused dialogue.
During this time, the company acquired a leading complimentary business to rapidly accelerate their growth plans. As the two organizations merged operations, our consultants worked closely with leaders of both organizations to ensure alignment of business strategy. Our efforts focused on a few critical ‘high payoff’ areas including enhancing the effectiveness of the consolidated leadership team and optimizing the design of the merged organizations.
The major division is now experiencing improved decision-making, streamlined operations and improved execution on key priorities. With our assistance, the consolidated division continues to align and strengthen its performance by developing desired leadership behaviours, enhancing top team effectiveness, and implementing supportive work structures and processes.
