In a world in which your competitors can copy everything you do, all that distinguishes you from them are the people who work for you and how competently they are managed.  Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer of Stanford Graduate School of Business found that "Companies that manage people right will outperform companies that don't by 30% to 40%.  This principle even applies to the current IPO market:  Companies that value their people have a much higher five-year survival rate than those that don't."  Complimate's focused expertise assists emerging high-technology companies build the human infrastructure that will help them reach their potential.


 

Organizational Development

 

Each company has elements that make it unique therefore applying cookie-cutter theories don't work.  We use accepted Organizational Development theories and customize them for your unique company.

 

Organization Evaluation: 

First, to determine the starting point, we evaluate your organization to determine what are the factors that influence the culture and environment and how they fit with your strategies and plans as well as how staff and work practices will allow you to successfully reach your goals.

 

Organization Strategic Plan:

We create an organization road map to match the company strategy.  Part of this includes assessing the product strategy and whether it was influenced by miscommunication between technologists and marketers - a frequent occurrence in small companies.

Organization Tactical Plan:

We create an implementation plan that balances organization change and overall company tactical requirements.  This plan serves as a guideline to staffing, process creation and many other company endeavors.

Process Creation:

We help you define the tailored processes that promote efficiency and facilitate communication in your organization.

Training:

Tailored to meet your needs, we provide training in company culture indoctrination processes for new and existing employees as well as coaching and classes ranging from conflict resolution to management and board improvement.

Staffing Services

 

One hire whether critical or not can sometimes make or break a company.  Not having the right people at the right time can have a huge impact on a company's plan and can cause a tremendous drain on a company's financial and employee resources.  Our services encompass both talent acquisition and the creation of the tools needed to ease acquisition and retention of employees particularly in a very high growth phase.

 

Retained Search for Executives and Key Talent:

We draw on our industry-specific network of top executives and key talent to find the persons with skills and personalities that will best enhance your organization.

Strategic & Tactical Staff Planning:

We develop proactive staffing using workforce planning.  This includes setting up a recruiting process that can scale to handle periods of high growth.  We can also review your salary and benefit schedule and provide you with a budget estimate that enables you to revise budget and/or staffing plans as necessary.

Full Cycle Staffing:

Finding the right candidate for a position starts with understanding the company and how that person fits in the organization.  We begin our staffing process by creating a virtual candidate profile.   Then we assist you in creating marketing information to entice the candidates you want to your company.  We search for the appropriate candidates through diversified sourcing techniques, perform in-depth interviews and reference checks.  We prepare candidate assessments reports, assist in salary negotiations, and follow up after the candidate comes on board to assist in employee retention.  We pride ourselves in providing the right candidate the first time.

Mergers & Acquisitions

 

During a merger or acquisition the organization development problem is more than doubled.  It's not only about performing organization change twice, it's also about creating unity.  This often requires shifts in strategy and tactics.  It's also an opportunity to generate positive change at a time when change is expected.

A successful merger requires careful preparation and intense planning: one must synchronize development of strategy and tactics for business, technology and human resource while creating a new organization.

We have been involved in M&A as internal participants and both internal and external facilitators.  We can leverage this experience and our large diversity of backgrounds to provide you with the broad and deep insights and the range of organizational development and associated services that will take you through and allow you to take full benefit of the merger.
