Leadership Assimilation and On-Boarding

According to studies by the Center for Creative Leadership, more than 40% of senior executives entering a new position fail in that assignment within the first 18 months. The risk of failure is even higher when the new executive has been brought on to manage a change initiative, turnaround or merger. When a new hire doesn't succeed, the costs can be substantial, including expenditures on: search, relocation, training and severance.

AJO Leadership Assimilation and On-Boarding focus on helping the new executive assimilate into his or her culture by providing solutions for building successful partnerships with peers, management and direct reports. AJO coaches work with each executive to develop a 90-day plan for success including an understanding of social factors of cultural assimilation.

Our Leadership Assimilation and On-Boarding services are designed to reduce risks and costs by identifying and addressing potential challenges faced by new executives,
resulting in an increase in their productivity through
acceleration and support for successful assimilation.
