Many years ago we were privileged to be able to observe the merger between a large telecommunications firm and a small wireless firm. We spent a full year observing the new leadership team and what they did. After only a few months, a significant culture change occurred that preserved the strengths of the smaller firm and added the financial discipline of the larger firm.

We set about to find the secrets of this accelerated culture change and how the leaders had achieved culture-strategy fit so rapidly. With deep research behind us that spans the fields of organizational effectiveness, organization behavior, strategic management, systemic change management, organizational culture and knowledge management, we are able to bring high impact approaches that engage hearts and minds and get behaviors changing, fast.
