Our approach revolves around aligning the role and organisation of the corporate centre with its operating model, ensuring it effectively supports and enhances the overall business strategy. We address key questions on how the corporate centre can add value, optimise organisation, and create the right behaviours through planning, goal setting, incentives, and HR practices.
What We Do
Our Parenting Strategy service involves:
- Empirical Framework Development: Utilising an empirically-derived framework to identify specific value levers of the corporate centre. We determine the most effective parenting strategies and roles that the corporate centre can assume to add value.
- Strategic and Organisational Integration: Linking strategy with value-creation and organisational design. This integrated approach ensures that the corporate centre’s structure and functions are fully aligned with the strategic goals and value drivers of the business.
Addressing Business Issues
Our service is particularly beneficial in various scenarios:
- Leadership Transitions: Useful in situations such as a CEO change, where a new vision and strategy might be needed for the corporate centre.
- Valuation and Portfolio Changes: Assists in addressing valuation discounts or significant changes in the business portfolio.
- Navigating Growth and Challenges: Ideal for businesses experiencing hyper-growth or facing fundamental performance problems.
- Enhancing Functional Excellence: Supports the pursuit of functional excellence, portfolio strategy, or integration post-merger.
