Business Transformation Consulting
It often happens, over the course of an organization’s life, to carry out a profound transformation to ensure the sustainability of its activity in the face of changes in the market, demand, consumption habits, or in order to preserve its competitive advantage in the face of the emergence of new players.
These time-consuming changes, whether commercial, organizational or managerial, can be particularly complex to undertake internally, whether due to a lack of time, hindsight, skills, resources, or because of a certain resistance to change.
These major barriers complicate or greatly slow down change behaviour, which is nevertheless decisive. It is estimated that nearly 75% of deep transformation projects would never see the light of day.
Calling on an interim manager is then a very beneficial solution.
A true catalyst for change, this expert is experienced in the management of this type of strategic project with major challenges.
At WAYDEN, we identify, among our network of seasoned leaders, a professional who can carry out your business transformation on time.
A real lever for transformation, the interim manager manages all your deep transformation projects with the greatest efficiency, whether defensive (mergers and acquisitions, decline in activity, closure of a site, sale, etc.) or offensive (overall improvement in performance, profitability and productivity, major change management, internationalization, restructuring, etc.). It deploys all the necessary means to carry out this change within the departments concerned and federates the teams around this new vision.
As head of the management committee, the interim director manages all general management functions. He has a perfect command of each of the organization’s branches, guarantees the growth of the business, implements adjustments if necessary, identifies areas for improvement, etc. It thus creates an environment conducive to facilitating the handover of functions to the new DG.
Redefining your commercial positioning is sometimes necessary to keep up with market developments, consumer expectations and strengthen your competitiveness.
An interim manager, a seasoned sales director, carries out the overhaul of your business model to ensure the sustainability of your business.
40% of companies that have carried out a digital transformation then see an improvement in results. It is indeed a powerful growth accelerator, but often difficult to implement.
Our interim managers who are experts in digital technology manage all your digital transformation projects: setting up multi-channel distribution, digitising your offer, using digital tools to streamline your internal communication, etc.
Cultural transformation is a fundamental change, which underpins a change in values and habits, and which reinvents the entire culture of the company and its DNA. This project, which is sometimes difficult to tangible, requires the redesign of a completely new identity.
The interim manager will be able to effectively trigger your cultural transformation and reorganize your company around this new image (on the managerial, marketing, commercial level, etc.) and ensure the proper appropriation of these values by employees.
The interim manager will also be able to deploy an organizational transformation, in order to redesign the entire structure and professional practices of your company, reorganize departments, rethink the functioning of teams, etc. This change places the employee at the center and requires very specific managerial skills and know-how.
