CHANGE IS A JOURNEY:

The Legend of Ulixes
SERVICES

SYSTEM  IMPLEMENTATION

Many large scale system deployments do not achieve targeted business results due to poor adoption of the new solutions.
Ulixes Consulting has developed a distinct approach to accelerate Business ROI in the following three scenarios:

  • Start up of a new project: We develop a change management approach based on the strategic objectives of the initiative and the stakeholder landscape.
  • Mid-flight project: We deploy a rapid assessment of the health of the project from a change management perspective and develop a short and long-term action plan to accelerate Business ROI.
  • Post Go-Live: We define a clear link between adoption metrics and Business ROI. We measure the adoption metrics and develop a rapid action plan to improve adoption and accelerate the Business ROI.  Learn More

REORGANIZATION

The objective of reorganizations are the alignment of one or more organizations based on a strategic business objective. A key premise in successful reorganizations is that all elements of the organization, such as systems, processes, people, rewards, policies, and structure have to be taken into account. A singular focus, such as a focus on systems and process alone, may not yield the desired results and may actually degrade the overall performance of an organization if that focus is poorly aligned to other organizational components, for example, to structure and rewards.  Learn More

acquisition integration

Out of 500 recently merged companies, about 50% failed to meet specified objectives, 50% reported an overall drop in productivity in the first 4-8 months and 61% failed to return their cost of capital. (M. Leofke, Why So Many Mergers)

We believe one key reason so many acquisitions are failing to deliver value is that the initial strategic objectives of the deal, whether they are revenue or cost synergies, are lost in the integration phase. During the integration phase, the focus tends to shift towards functional (silo) optimization.

We believe that a successful integration has to be founded in the translation of the strategic objectives of the deal into the integration approach, structure, and plan; hence, often resulting in a complex cross functional and cross company exercise.
