SITUATION
A
successful, privately owned company prepared to go public. In addition to
planning this major undertaking, decisions had to be made to replace the
founding member who was scheduled to retire just prior to public announcement of
the company transition.
Well aware of the impact of these events would
have on themselves, their families and the company's personnel, the stress and
pressure of this major change began to show on the key management team,
especially during planning meetings. The senior management group was committed
to making fair and equitable arrangements to support all concerned.
AT STAKE
The future of the business; the livelihoods
of the founder, board members, and all personnel in the organization.
MTM'S TASK
Facilitate the planning
process, keep meetings focused on specific goals, and identify available
resources to support employee morale and retention by making them part of the
change.
DR. MADDALENA'S SOLUTION
"The owners and board members had a major tasks to accomplish: the
management team's dissolution and reorganization; transferring responsibilities
from the retiring founder; all while managing the company°s ever-increasing
workload. For the first six months I was a facilitator, allowing group members
to introduce issues within a structured format all could adhere to. As a result,
personal and business interests were sorted and addressed with a minimum of
distractions and emotions. Eventually these structured bi-weekly meetings
addressed the many complex tasks necessary to prepare staff for the changes."
RESULTS
The board members achieved
a successful and smooth transition throughout all levels of the organization.
Following the strategic planning stage, tactical plans for a company-wide
announcement prior to public disclosure were prepared. MTM designed and offered
a series of workshops, seminars, private mentoring, and coaching programs to
employees enabling them to participate in the change.
