The Trium Group Helps Post-Merger Environmental Services Company Set Its Course

Sept. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- SAN FRANCISCO—The Trium Group, the boutique management consulting firm that specializes in organizational transformation and strategy execution, announced that it has assisted a newly formed environmental services company to clarify its vision, strategy, and cultural aspirations and to plan critical, immediate action steps in support of its growth trajectory goals.

The result of a merger deal that brought together complementary players in the fragmented, high-growth market delivering environmentally-conscious waste disposal services to Global 1000 companies, the client organization enlisted Trium’s help immediately post-merger in order to refine and align its senior leaders’ views on the organization’s desired end-state and the strategic roadmap to get there.

Trium’s team furthermore helped create real commitment and engendered trust among the company’s leaders regarding their path forward and how best to leverage one another’s pre-merger experiences to address new challenges as they arise.

For purposes of confidentiality, Trium at this time will not disclose the client’s name nor details that would identify it.

“A major reason mergers and acquisitions fail is because all initial attention goes to the financial targets and Purchase & Sale Agreement, with little attention to the leadership and culture dynamics that underlie any successful integration,” said Trium Principal and engagement leader Brad Sutton.

“It’s only after the fact that many leaders come to realize that all the due diligence and legal documentation do not translate into leadership commitment to a particular outcome. On the contrary, leaders must create real alignment and commitment by having the right conversations early and often.”

Added Andrew Blum, Trium Founder and Managing Partner, “This organization’s commitment to bringing together its new leaders for structured dialogue on the most important elements of the strategy—and doing so immediately post-merger—will play a critical role in the successful execution of its strategy and tactics.”
