• Our people do not consistently achieve business objectives and targets
• We have a new CEO/ leadership team and are changing direction

• The behaviors of leadership and/or employees contradict the strategy, vision or mission
• We have difficulty attracting/ retaining employees due to cultural issues

Leadership and Talent Development

• We have difficulty retaining top talent
• Once we identify talent, we don’t have development programs in place to support them
• We don’t have any ‘bench strength’
• We have an aging workforce and/or our millennials want to progress quickly
• Our leaders need to improve their ‘soft’ skills
• Our leaders don’t ‘walk the talk’ and send mixed messages regarding what is important

Change and Transition

• We are expanding into new geographies or a new market
• We are undertaking a merger or acquisition
  
• We are restructuring or downsizing, which will result in redundancies
  
• We have experienced difficulty implementing changes in the past
• Our organisation is not ready for the impending changes
• Our communication strategies are ineffective or non-existent
