Iknaia needed a Chief Operating Officer to support the Chief Executive Officer/Owner, who was originally forced to occupy both C-suite positions. The owner sought to onboard a leader to manage the day-to-day operations, thus allowing her to devote more time to focus on strategic initiatives.
In addition to elevating the leadership team, the organisation wanted to position itself for future growth, and was looking at ways to expand its service offerings.
Overcoming these challenges requires strategic planning, resilience, and a willingness to learn from both successes and failures. Seeking mentorship, staying adaptable, and being persistent are key factors in navigating the start-up landscape, and ones which Iknaia needed further support to implement.
Though an innovative and rapid-growing technology start-up, Iknaia needed further support structuring their organisation in order to fully maximise their capability.
This required the following stages:
As part of our restructuring, we implemented a shift from an Operational to a Strategic mindset in Iknaia.
Using our inhouse operational excellence, we were able to tackle Iknaia’s large-scale problems.
We effectively re-allocated resources, including human capital, technology, and financial resources, to meet organisational goals.
We set goals and objectives in order to provide Iknaia with a clear glidepath, including common goals that require collaboration from multiple departments.
We defined and established a Governance structure, decision making principles, and clearly articulated the goals and objectives of governance within the organisation.
We developed and implemented effective risk mitigation strategies.
We established clear communication objectives that aligned with the overall organisation goals, ensuring collaboration to achieve said goals.
We are a highly collaborative team of senior level executive professionals able to adapt to any business challenge. We deliver the expected strategic outcomes on time and on budget.
