All living things, including organizations, have a lifecycle. They are born, they grow and over time many will age and die. As organizations progress along this lifecycle, they can expect to encounter certain predictable challenges. How management responds to these will ultimately determine the success or failure of the organization.
Making successful lifecycle transitions is not easy or obvious. The methods that produce success in one stage can create failure in the next. Leaders who fail to understand what is needed (and not needed) can inhibit the successful development of their organization.
Who we are:
Corporate LifeCycles has developed powerful tools that enable organizations to navigate these difficulties and reach PRIME – the optimal lifecycle stage. Since 1989, we have partnered with Founders, CEOs, Presidents, and their leadership teams to design and implement change programs that accelerate the achievement of their growth, profit, and other business goals.
How we work:
We are experienced and persistent agents of change who work side-by-side with our clients. We are consultants, facilitators, and coaches and to each of these roles we bring the pragmatic perspective of former senior executives with a bias towards practical solutions and rapid implementation.
Unlike conventional consulting firms that provide mechanistic solutions often with little client assimilation, Corporate LifeCycles works actively with its clients to create solutions that are fully understood and supported by the team members who will implement them. In this way our clients can make critical changes with much greater speed, efficiency, and accuracy. Our powerful concepts, tools and methods for accelerating change surface and unlock the expert knowledge, innovation, and energy already resident within the client organization. Helping our clients discover their own solutions, builds ownership and strong commitment to implementation.
Our clients ask us to help them tackle a wide range of issues in our transformation projects that include:
- Accelerate profitability, growth, and capture more market share.
- Accelerate the maturation of a fast-growing organization.
- Revitalize an aging or under-performing organization.
- Integrate acquisitions and mergers.
Supported by models from the full spectrum of management research, theories, and techniques – our core change management platform – Seeking PRIME® is a total system for diagnosing and changing organizations. Our focus is categorically on making businesses as successful as they can be.
