Municipality – Human Resources Re-engineering

ITB Partners has completed a re-engineering engagement for a municipal government; leading a comprehensive assessment and upgrade of their Human Resources operation. The municipality is a growing bedroom community to a major southern city. It has experienced material growth in population and business / retail investment over the last several years. It is anticipated that ITB Partners will continue their relationship with the City.

ITB Partners, has completed an Engagement to install a Recruiting, Selection, and Onboarding Program for one of our Atlanta-based clients. As with many of our Engagements, this Assignment began with a Strategic Risk Assessment. The goal of this initial stage was to help the client understand potential barriers that may inhibit the achievement of their business strategy and to offer measures to mitigate such risk.

The Paul Masson brand is best remembered for its 1970s marketing association with Orson Welles, who promised for Masson: “We will sell no wine before its time.” An infamous outtake for one commercial from the Orson Welles campaign features Welles attempting to deliver his lines while very severely inebriated. From Wikipedia.

Recently, one of our best clients called to discuss an organization issue. The leadership  was planning to terminate a key manager who was not meeting the expectations of the job. The partners, however, had different ideas as to how to fill the void to be created. Two of the partners were behind the promotion of a highly respected, but inexperienced employee. The CEO had another point of view, so he looked to me to provide an unbiased, third-party evaluation.  His specific request was for a written report justifying our position.

The client company, a relatively new business, well-funded,  is headed by accomplished industry professionals. They have a proven concept and are moving into a period of rapid growth. In order to be successful it was our view that their key positions must be staffed with self-starters with proof of concept or rely on out-sourced solutions.

Our first reaction was great pleasure to know that our firm was held in such high esteem to be chosen to complete this assignment. Our next reaction was the realization that this request presented risk to our ongoing relationship. We would be touching on the political dynamics within our client’s culture. Our goal is to give the client our very best advice packaged in a way that is useful and accepted by all parties involved, a win-win-win. We were looking for a solution that would be a factual aid to the client’s decision; that would result in meaningful career counsel for their internal candidate; and which would demonstrate our integrity, protecting our long term relationship. After all, isn’t that the goal of any engagement? Especially since we focus on finding solutions that will ensure our clients long-term viability.

ITB Partners has completed a Growth / Expansion Readiness Assessment with a multi-brand restaurant enterprise that is the parent company of one of the hottest new restaurant concepts in the south. The concept is expanding into additional states and materially increasing their total units. ITB Partners was engaged to comprehensively and holistically assess the concept’s ability and readiness to expand. ITB Partners will continue working with the enterprise in some areas.

ITB Partners has landed a new consulting engagement for one of our clients.   As with many of our engagements, this assignment will begin with a Strategic Risk Assessment.
