Professional Services: Speeding Growth in a Competitive Space

Challenge
A top professional services firm was struggling to increase growth in a competitive market. In addition, the CEO thought the senior management team was not performing to its full capability.

Assessment
Opus Partners conducted three types of assessment for the company:

• Organizational assessment of company, including structure, value proposition and mission statement, among other items.
• Employee profiling of senior management, including CEO.
• Gap analysis

Solutions
Opus Partners found that the company would benefit significantly if some employees, including the CEO himself, were given different job responsibilities.  Based on this assessment, Opus Partners:

• Provided actionable recommendations for employee realignment.
• Identified the need for additional senior manager to act as right hand to CEO.

Results
The implementation of Opus Partners’ recommendations produced the following results:

• The company’s revenue was up over 30% the first year.
• Within the first 90 days of the recommendation, the CEO hired a key senior manager, who is now the company president.
• The company now uses a template for making new hire decisions.
