In situations such as MBOs or mergers/acquisitions where the existing management team need to lead an organisation through significant change and growth, gaining insights regarding areas of potential strength or weakness can help ensure that the anticipated benefits and value will be realised.
- It may be that a high level of similarity in decision making style and attitude will lead to stylistic ‘blind-spots’ for the management team.
- Disparities in decision making style and attitudes can lead to poorly managed conflict in the senior management team – particularly when faced by new circumstances and rapid changes occurring post-deal.
If this is your situation
- You want to evaluate how effectively the senior management team is likely to operate together following the transaction to realise benefits and value.
- You want to determine non-executive director/s to sit on the board that will most likely complement the attributes of the senior management team, augment potential weaknesses, and provide appropriate mentorship.
- You want to help maximise the effectiveness of the post-deal senior management team through tailored personal development training.
How PwC can help
- We have a methodology designed to help highlight individual and team styles through psychometrics and individual/group structured interviews and discussions.
- The process is designed to be completed in the form of a one-day workshop.
- The results of the workshop are reported in a succinct, practical manner designed to highlight the relative strengths or potential weaknesses individuals may exhibit when performing their roles and what the team mix can mean in relation to the overall team style and capability.
