PrimeGenesis Executive Onboarding

Transition acceleration is critical for leaders at complex, high-stakes points of inflection.

Owners, boards and CEO's expect senior executives in new situations to establish themselves and add significant value within six months. New leaders helped by PrimeGenesis start with a well-structured plan.  PrimeGenesis transition acceleration takes leaders and teams through a 100-day process that helps the new leader assimilate into the culture and then establishes high-performing business groups aligned around shared purpose and results-driven strategic action plans. It kicks off key strategic, operational, and organizational management processes on the way to delivering better results faster.  This is two-way transformational leadership.

Before day one...its about The Leader

Preparation

PrimeGenesis works one-on-one with newly appointed leaders right after acceptance to map out learning, set-up, a high impact day one, and the leader's personal 100-Day Action Plan©. Transitioning leaders create preliminary versions of critical planning tools, including: situation analysis and learning plan, stakeholder map, pre-start discussion guide, mission/vision/strategy map, leadership message, culture-creating communication plan, and The New Leader's 100-Day Action Plan©.

Day One

PrimeGenesis clients make powerful first impressions by planning day one with care during preparation and engaging with the right personal leadership message. Everything communicates—people read into everything transitioning executives say and do and everything they don’t say and don’t do.  Transitioning executives are far better off choosing and controlling what and when people see and hear things.

After day one ...its about The Team

Leaders who succeed leverage the power of many people aligned around shared goals and values. The first 100 days are the best time to get shared purpose and the other basic building blocks of a high-performing team in place.

After day one PrimeGenesis supports the executive one-on-one in his/her leadership role and facilitates team workshops to complete and execute the leader's 100-Day Action Plan. Post day one transition acceleration proceeds in stages that map out and kick off critical strategic, operational and organizational processes.

Team Strategic Imperative Workshop

A PrimeGenesis facilitated team strategy development and planning workshop where teams co-create plans that yield alignment and results. This workshop gets the team on the same sheet and kicks off the team's strategic process. PrimeGenesis pushes to get relevant ideas aired. We use our operating experience to challenge, probe and, ultimately, stimulate consensus. Teams leave the Strategic Imperative Workshop with a clear, one page action plan.

Operational Milestones

We help the leader and team construct, target and set up systems to manage well-chosen, strategic milestones. Team Milestones and Early Wins kick off the operational process.

Early Wins

This stage of 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.

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. Together we determine what needs to be done to get the right people with the right skills in the roles needed to achieve the team plan.
