These teams provide critical leverage for shaping a future that we all aspire to live for. I'm currently a partner at Growth River, an international consultancy with offices and partners in the US and in Germany. We specialize in leading major transformational change initiatives that impact organizational culture and business models at the same time. What is unique about this work is a holistic approach that reduces complexity and creates buy-in for both executives and their teams. I always try work on the front lines. There have been forays into the environmental science of water pollution, years of intense pushing for tropical forest conservation, and years also invested in cracking the code on human conflict and human potential. At Growth River, our clients find us to be highly effective partners. They renew contracts; our website is loaded with their testimonials. Clients describe why they value us as centering on our ability to help them build key capabilities. Some of these capabilities include: => Precisely ID the most expedient path to desired results and create buy-in for implementation. => Consciously create a high performance culture where team members own enterprise results. => Set clear and mutually agreed upon behaviors that neutralize toxic rock stars. => Rationalize – and transform – systems-of-roles and decision-making hierarchies. => Re-segment businesses and functional capabilities in response to changing market conditions. => Develop leaders to advocate and implement strategies. => Turn conflict into a source of innovation. => Prepare companies to scale or be acquired. => Ensure M&A success by effectively integrating cultures.
