Why consider a corporate development office?
Business leaders are challenged to provide both organic and inorganic/acquisitive growth — the two are not simple tasks on the best of days. At Novell, we help develop a framework for a company’s growth aspirations when it comes to acquiring companies, divesting out-of-the-perimeter assets, developing a corporate strategy methodology that fits the culture, or developing an innovation strategy that can search for and execute major leaps.
Growth strategy execution can be a particular issue for smaller to mid-sized companies who often do not have the bandwidth or room in the budget to devote a team, or even a person, to this topic. It is managed, as well as possible, by a committee of executives. But often the focus that is required is lost when the next crisis hits.
Novell can help you establish a focused corporate development office at a fraction of the cost of an in-house operation.
