Managing Radical Change: Beyond Survival In The New Business Age -by- Jerome H. Want, OSI partner

Since 1986, Organization Strategies Intl. (OSI) has been recognized as a leading change management, corporate culture building & turn-around management consulting firm.

OSI was initially founded to serve mid-market manufacturing & distribution companies struggling to cope with the recession of the mid 1980s. OSI's reputation for individualized and cutting-edge consulting was soon in demand by Fortune 500 companies, especially those from the manufacturing, telecommunications, electronics, distribution and advanced technology sectors.

The firm's mission is to serve clients who seek alternative solutions for performance as they face the unique challenges created by the current period of radical change. Divestiture, deregulation/increased regulation, industry stagnation & consolidation, market globalization, break through technologies, and the rapid creation and demise of entire industries are no longer effectively addressed through the usual fads and fix its of reengineering, downsizing, TQM, and conventional business planning.

Our principal areas of expertise encompass:-

- BUSINESS CHANGE STRATEGY

- ORGANIZATION EFFECTIVENESS

- EXECUTIVE TEAM COACHING

- TURNAROUND MANAGEMENT

- CORPORATE CULTURE BUILDING

During an era of unprecedented change and dislocation in the business world, far sighted business leaders now recognize that change planning, culture building, and leadership effectiveness are key ingredients for successfully managing the challenge of change.

OSI has demonstrated its ability to compete, very successfully, with the larger, more prominent consulting firms as we individualize for each client around that client's unique needs- not our own. OSI does not recycle the same old practices and products. Neither do we bill our clients for time-we guarantee our fees and delivery time for all engagement consulting. All of the firm's partners and staff are highly experienced possessing an average of more than twenty years of corporate and consulting experience. We deliver solutions and services that promote business and organization performance.

Most important, OSI is dedicated to engaging in best professional practice on behalf of its clients.
