Why hasn’t the market caught up?

A business can change far faster than the way it is understood outside the organisation.

Leadership may have changed, the strategy may be different and the business may now be capable of work it could not deliver several years ago. Buyers, candidates and partners may still associate it with an earlier version.

That gap has a commercial cost. Buyers can hesitate over capabilities the business already has, while candidates and potential partners make decisions based on a position that has moved on.

Leadership teams often discover the gap during a deal, a senior hire or a strategic move, when they need confidence from people still working with an outdated picture.

This 30-minute briefing looks at what happens when the business changes faster than its reputation, and why that lag becomes difficult to ignore once it reaches deals, hiring and strategic opportunity.
