Invest heavily, or merge?
Board, management committee and executive committee committed to a three-year action plan to accelerate.
Read the case[moment 02.]
“My executive committee goes round in circles. Nobody decides.”
The options have been on the table for months. The deadline is getting closer.
An executive committee goes round in circles when every option creates winners and losers around the table, and nobody says so. The same debates come back, the files get thicker, the decision slips. The way out is to hear each member separately and base the debate on costed options.
What is at play
Around the table
Everyone sees what they gain, or lose, depending on the option chosen.
In meetings
The same debates come back, the files get thicker, the decision slips.
Across the organisation
Teams wait, then start deciding in your place.
What we do
01
The ecosystem of your issue
We meet each member of the executive committee alone, to hear what is not said in meetings. We put figures on the options and their consequences. The debate is about facts.
02
Team engagement
We prepare with you the moment the decision is made, and what follows.
What you gain
A decision made on the planned date, and an executive committee that stands behind it.

Frequently asked questions.
Why can't an executive committee reach a decision?
Most of the time, it is not a lack of information. Each option changes someone's position around the table, and that is never said in meetings.
Can't the CEO simply decide alone?
They can. But a decision taken against the executive committee then runs into trouble in execution. The aim is a decision the executive committee stands behind.
Other moments
“The decision is made, but nothing moves.”
The plan exists. On the ground, everyone is waiting to see.
“My shareholders, or my partners, are not aligned.”
Everyone has something to gain or lose, and nobody says so.
“The deal is signed, the integration is stalling.”
Merger, acquisition, combination: two teams, two cultures, one organisation to run.
