Parent and Associates offers general management services to help organizations effectively management their people under a variety of situations. These services include the following practice areas:
People Strategy
Progressive organizations align their policies, systems, business processes and their people to key organization strategies and goals. People Strategy development involves an in-dept review of the organization’s strategies and goals to establish a strategy that aligns people with the direction of the organization. The effective alignment of people to company direction translates in improved performance and bottom-line results.
We can help you to develop and implement an effective People Strategy no matter what is happening in your business. For example, this may include a growth strategy into new business line and/or market, corporate restructuring to better align the business to a new or different company direction or, an examination of existing people strategies to improve effectiveness and performance.
Organizational Restructuring
Organizational restructuring can occur for a variety of reasons including changing the nature of the business, growth strategies, downsizing, integrating new methods and technologies and, mergers and acquisitions to name a few. The effective implementation of changes associated with any restructuring requires a well thought out plan.
We are experienced in helping clients build and implement plans to navigate many different types of restructurings to align their organization to the new or changed direction.
Mergers and Acquisitions
Research shows that among the most difficult aspect of any merger or acquisition is the many people issues that arise from the merger or acquisition. Frequently, the financial value creation expected from the merger or acquisition is delayed or sometimes lost because the people issues are not managed effectively. We are skilled at addressing the people issues associated with mergers and acquisitions ranging from due diligence through to integration.
Change Management
Constant change is a reality in most organizations and how this change is managed can be the difference between the success or failure of any initiative. We are skilled on how to effectively manage change, however big or small and, we apply these principles to all client projects.
