C-Level Executives & Business Owners

ICA is uniquely capable of helping companies – whether they desire to address urgent performance issues, shatter complacency to drive sustained improvement, or breakthrough to emerge as industry leaders – to address the classic impediments to enduring company success:

• Lack of unity around clear guiding principles (i.e., vision/purpose/values)
• Procrastination on succession planning (for both leadership and equity transfer)
• Tolerating executive dysfunction that destroys company credibility and trust
• Fail to objectively confront company/industry realities to inform strategic planning
• Blind to need for business model changes to addresses changing market realities
• Lack of energetic debate (iron sharpening iron) on key strategic & operational goals
• Poorly engaging the executive team in translating strategy into action
• Accepting mediocre financial returns due to habits and complacency
• Weak or non-existent development of staff, delegation, and accountability
• Spotty general management processes; failing to drive toward “best-in-class”
• Prioritizing technical experience vs. character/alignment when recruiting/hiring
• Weak linkage between achievement, compensation, and performance management
• Minimal ministry to stakeholders, unnecessarily compromising impact and loyalty
• Poorly identify industry core competencies needed to compete, add value, and lead
• Fail to address key client concerns over capability gaps or performance shortfalls
