Transition Acceleration Process
Team Strategic Imperative Workshop
A PrimeGenesis facilitated team strategy development and planning workshop. The workshop structure enables teams to co-create high quality plans that yield alignment and better results faster. This workshop gets everyone on the team on the same sheet and kicks off the team's strategic process. We push to get relevant ideas aired and use our operating experience to challenge, probe and, ultimately, stimulate consensus. Teams leave the Strategic Imperative session with a clear, one page action plan.
Operational Milestones
A PrimeGenesis facilitated team operational planning workshop to help the group construct, target and set up systems to manage well-chosen, strategic milestones. Team Milestones and Early Wins kick off the new team’s operational process.
Early Wins
This stage of executive onboarding and transition acceleration helps the team select one or more high-priority operational milestones and plan an over-investment of resources that sets the team up to exceed expectations. Early wins build confidence, model exceptional performance and communicate strength to the organization.
Role Sort
The #1 thing experienced leaders wish they’d done differently is to have moved faster on people. PrimeGenesis works with the new leader to map his/her team on a performance versus person/role match grid in order to determine what needs to be done to help each team member over the short term. Once the starting team is working as productively as possible, the new leader gets the right people with the right skills in the roles needed to achieve the team plan.

What people say about PrimeGenesis
"At LexisNexis, a business-information firm that is a client of PrimeGenesis, Mike Walsh went through what he calls a "fascinating and essential" onboarding process. Before starting as head of its big legal division, he and PrimeGenesis sorted through his web of relationships to work out "who my main stakeholders were and what I needed to achieve with them, which, frankly, I wouldn't have thought about," he says. A plan was drawn up covering everything from schedules for initial and follow-up meetings, team formation and setting achievable milestones. This was so successful that Mr. Walsh was recently promoted and has hired PrimeGenesis to work with his new team." (from the Economist)

“In today's era of increasingly activist investors and boards, a heightened focus on fast results is making the first few months feel more like a trial by fire than a honeymoon.”
