Business & Organization Transformation

The best strategic vision in the world is worth nothing without successful execution; something that is generally undermined by three factors. First, lack of engagement and alignment of the key leaders responsible for achieving the strategic objectives. Second, insufficient time devoted to building a robust picture of the desired future state and understanding its implications. Third, the lack of a clear transition plan that explicitly defines how the organization will change, while maintaining performance and mitigating risk.

We work with CEOs and other senior executives in a disciplined and collaborative way to:

Establish a shared vision of the future and the case for transformation
Develop and evaluate strategic options
Choose and refine a strategic direction based on a full understanding of its implications
Determine the overall, integrated transition plan in the context of the current business plans and priorities.
Assess and enhance the organization’s readiness and capacity to transform.
Support them as they lead their organizations through a transformation, often acting as constructive challengers willing to call out the tough issues and solutions.

Organization Design

The design of an organization is about much more than the boxes and connecting lines on an organization chart.  Successful design addresses the processes, capabilities, and behaviors that must align to achieve the desired performance.  And getting to the right solution also requires paying close attention to the political and emotional, as well as rational, dynamics that accompany any changes to organizational structure and governance.

MDC works alongside the leadership team to:

Diagnose the design-related organizational issues in the context of market challenges, the business strategy, and desired performance
Identify the right people in the organization to drive the design work and its implementation
Develop the underpinning criteria for evaluating potential designs and constructing various options for consideration
Manage the process of engaging with and aligning top leaders around the best solution and then construct the transition plan
Support engagement and communication activities, including the creation of a blueprint and manual that explains how the new design will work
Evaluate the progress of the transition and its outcomes.
