Case Studies show lasting, tangible results
1.Imagine your business growing from a staff of 50 to 350 and having to train the entire group to get them up to speed in three months. Impossible? Not if you have the help of CPC. We did just that to enormous success with a Service Merchandiser whose new contract with a world-class retail chain changed their whole business over night. After our initial work of hiring and training new employees was well underway, we assessed the company’s existing talent and systems resulting in a realignment of executive responsibilities and establishing Process Improvement Teams that made a huge difference. That once tiny company is now among the industry leaders in Service Merchandising.
2. A $200 million North American Division of a multibillion dollar manufacturing company was in jeopardy. The Division had not turned a profit – ever. CPC worked with the senior executive team to set the new strategy, assess their executive talent and receive uncensored employee feedback. This Division has just had its first profitable 2 quarters and is well in line for a ground breaking year even during these difficult economic times.
3.We challenge you! Try and integrate two major banks after a $16 trillion merger that keeps them residing in two different cities. Build a team with two separate and previously highly competitive sales forces. CPC played a key role in meeting that challenge. We knew that the biggest problem in achieving this successful merger was overcoming the resistance of the people to change. CPC took on the assignment of making sure that every integration initiative included a plan for dealing with staff issues and concerns. For example: our “Elephant in the Room” program was acknowledged as a key factor in the smooth transition of the Treasury Services Division.
4.Executive Coaching - A 55 year old Executive was unhappy with her job as a CFO of a small manufacturing firm. She came to CPC with significant emotional baggage looking for professional and career advice and support to deal with personal issues that were impacting on her career success. Receiving full service career/personal coaching including personality assessment, career planning, resume building, interview skill development, negotiation strategy and communication skill building, she started her new CFO position one month after resigning from her job with a generous severance package and at a higher salary with amazing benefits. CPC was later called into her new company to support her new company’s reorganization efforts as well as helping her build an extraordinary high performance team.
