Implementing SR: Leader Interview Series
One of Strategic Solutions' goals was to explore what makes certain strategic
restructuring efforts more successful than others. As part of this research,
we interviewed 26 executives and board members who have who have "lived
through" the implementation of one or more strategic restructuring
processes. These individuals represented 18 different strategic restructuring
efforts: 13 mergers, one administrative consolidation, one restructuring
of local chapters of a national organization into regional units, and three
series of multiple mergers among chapters of three different national organizations.
We have talked with people about the challenges they faced in implementing
their SR effort, what facilitated success, what kind of leadership was
or was not present during implementation, and what they would do differently
if they could "go back in time." From these interviews, we wrote
a series of case studies reporting on what we found. Links to those cases
are provided below.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of the individuals
who took the time to talk with us about their experiences. As the interviews
showed, leading an SR implementation effort is no easy task, and does not
leave one with much free time. We appreciate these people's willingness
to spend some of that sharing what they learned with us and with the sector.
