CASE STUDY:
Building a High Performing Team Post-Close
Overview
- Engaged within six months post-close to build and develop leadership and executive team of a clinical healthcare company that had experienced significant organic growth.
- Our role was to help grow a new executive team capable of executing an aggressive growth and acquisition strategy.
- Along with an assessment of the overall culture and individual leaders, including C-Suite and critical roles, Collins Consulting worked hand-in-hand with the CEO and Chief Human Resource Officer to problem solve on critical performance challenges. These included filling and evolving critical roles, assimilating new team members and accelerating team performance.
-
Inclusive of post-merger integration.
Challenge
Led by a CEO experiencing a private equity relationship for the first time, the portfolio company in this case emerged from being a not-for-profit, operating with low levels of performance tension.
Challenges included:
- Creating a performance culture, and
- Integration of targeted mergers.
Our role was to assist the CEO in building a new, lean team that could manage and scale the complexities of acquisition activity and tackle the next few phases of growth.
These combined pressures saw the management team faced with a crossroads. They could continue on the same path or come together on shared team principles, which in turn would lead to their success. With our support they established cross-divisional commitments to systems and processes and agreed on KPIs to drive a culture of collaboration and high performance.
