The fortnightly edition of this Newsletter was due this week. However, as I was in Paris on a short break and just returned last night, the seventh newsletter will be published next week - on the topic:
"Restructuring - A Panacea for All Ills?"
Be sure to subscribe to these Newsletters, and don't miss next week's edition #7.
Many readers in corporate life can remember endless cycles of restructuring by seniors, right?
Somehow, they never achieved the intended results and often did not address the issues created by the shortfall in business performance before the restructuring.
Read my take on why restructuring often does not work and how to create the desired results when business performance is not to plan or expectations.
In the meantime, here are some photos of my trip to Paris this week:

I started SCL after a stellar career at AstraZeneca. I am focused on helping my clients succeed in scaling up in their home market and expanding into new markets, unblocking the factors stopping them from delivering scaleup after numerous attempts in existing markets, and advising senior Boardroom executives on international and domestic business commercial challenges.
I'm happy to chat to you at no cost or obligation about how I can help you without talking nonsense and jargon but truthfully telling you how it is, with straight-talking from a senior executive who has been where you are, has faced the issues and challenges that you face, and successfully addressed them.
I won't waste your time. I'm down-to-earth and straight-talking. If I can't add value or if your problem is complicated by someone else having a go and botched it up, I'll tell you and walk away.

2 个月There is a reason I visited Sacre Coeur. Twenty-five years ago, when the merger between Astra and Zeneca was announced, the decision was taken to close the Zeneca UK office in Wilmslow to have the merged company based out of the former Astra HQ in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire. I had no job in the new company. They offered me a role I had left behind almost eight years earlier—and to be based in Kings Langley. My kids were at school, doing A and O levels. I chose not to accept the offer and not to relocate. I went to Paris, visited Sacre Coeur, lit a candle, and asked for blessings and a protecting hand of God and the Virgin Mary to safeguard me and my family Three months later, on the displaced list of persons (those without a role in the new organisation), I applied for and was offered a role in the international manufacturing operation based in Macclesfield. I never looked back. I went from strength to strength, moving from one senior role to the next. Twenty-five years later this week, I visited Sacre Coeur. I lit a candle and bowed before the Virgin Mary with eternal gratitude for my life and her guardian role by my side. She never let me fall. In appreciation, I felt compelled to bow down before her again with thanks.
