Developing financial tools and controls such as financial forecasts, accounting systems and controls, information technology improvements, and so on.
There is no formula for “corporate development” and the activities encompassed are often within the role of the CEO or other executives or highly experienced business consultants. Accordingly, we become engaged in a variety of roles, as advisor to the CEO and Board of Directors, as Interim or Part-time executives, as Executive or Organizational Coaches, or as project-focused consultants.
The actual structure of our engagement and the corporate strategy will depend greatly on the circumstances of the company and the area where development is desired. In most cases, the process will not be of short duration; corporate development is usually a process that takes place over an extended period of time and may be adjusted or refined as the project moves forward.
You may find it insightful to look at the Projects section of this website for some selected examples provided to give more perspective to the capabilities we bring to an organization or individual.
