Lessons learned. ADVISORY

Investing in building trust. For this Chief Purchasing Officer of this multibillion corporation we identified the top 2 behaviors which gave him a solid foundation to rebuild pride and confidence.

Functional Alignment Produces Powerful Results. For the Managing Director of this Private Bank we put in place a workshop involving Research, Advisory, Marketing and HR, together with the Front Team Leaders to define a go-to-market approach with a more coordinated spirit, by increasing buy-in and collaboration.

Money is not the Solution. For Owner of a local multimillion business we put in place a succession program based on the contents of their respective positions rather than receiving a “simple” monetary incentive based on discretionary (i.e. arbitrary) judgment.

A 360° experience. For this  financial partnership Senior Director, we executed our unique 360-degree investigation to help him prepare his second career ou tof the firm.

The CEO led a drastic governance and reorganization project which last a few years.

Maximizing Experience – the CIO’s added Value

Not long ago, we hosted a private working lunch with the CIOs of 4  world’s prestigious NGO (i.e. UNHCR, IOC, WEF, ISO).

The burning themes we discussed were:

> cloud hosting vs. virtualized own infrastructure;

> security (as to where data is hosted);

> how to adapt/change a legacy CRM system to follow a changing business environment;

> collaboration with stakeholders;

> information and knowledge management / organization; etc.

Aside from these familiar topics, a new subject surfaced related to their common reality, the “organization of world-wide events”. The question was, specifically, “how to maximize the experience of each participant before, during and after the event”.

This take-away opened of window on the future.

In the course of our exchange, we imagined that Chief Information Officers could become soon the new Chief Learning Officers and, who knows, eventually, the Chief Experience Officers of the futre. One day.  

To be continued.
