Walter Keichel’s book ‘Lords of Strategy’ delves into the ’secret intellectual history of the new corporate world’. Fifty years ago, strategy was not a matter of mainstream enactment but in the 1960’s the corporate world was turned upside down by cutting edge business consultants: Bruce Henderson, founder of Boston Consulting Group, Bill Bain, creator of Bain & Company, Fred Gluck, Managing Director of McKinsey & Company and Michael Porter, Harvard Business School professor. These men transformed the way we look at business and the way business and finance are taught in universities all over the world. The element of strategy that is now so pervasive globally had to evolve from conceptual to theoretical to template tactic to exercisable and strategic.

I’ve been involved with more mergers and acquisitions and IPOs than I can even count. I’ve been called many names when I’m getting involved with corporate turnaround consulting but the most common of these terms are: arrogant, cocky and hardheaded. I take these names as a feather in the cap and a notch on the belt because the worst thing that can happen is that a company or board of directors hires a wimp or pushover. Having swagger when walking into a negotiation session or presentation makes all the difference. Refuse to lose and have the contacts to back up your moves.

So many companies claim to have the answers but few do. Many companies will take huge upfront fees but few can fulfill their promises.

Companies decide to go public for many different reasons: expansion, need for capital, exit strategy, acquisition facilitation, globalization etc. But what are the real advantages to going public? First, let’s go over the disadvantages. Your life becomes an open book and as an executive your spending habits and failures will be a matter of public information with your annual and quarterly filings.

It’s outside the nature of the strong willed, motivated IPO consultant, global strategist or structuring consultant to give up and through in the towel but sometimes failure is the only option. When you deal with a company, which will represent most of your clientele, that will follow instructions to get from point A to point B you can help them succeed promptly with little resistance and you can optimize their position with relevant ease if you are truly qualified for the contract that you’ve taken on.

Clean OTCBB shells that are ready for a reverse merger are like the legends of White Elephants, the Chupacabre and Bigfoot. Everyone has heard of them but no one has seen one. I have seen so many fly-by-night consulting firms pop up in the past year it’s depressing. Of course the claim to have 17 years in the industry with 100’s of reverse mergers tomb stoned on a page that ‘they just can’t remember the link to’.

Internationally, the top business strategies firms and corporate consulting firms are in the United States yet operate here and abroad. The Top Ten firms when taking into consideration globalization capabilities, governmental client base, regional rebound power, corporate ‘Who’s Who’ client base and overall exposure would easily be McKinsey & Co. based in New York, Bain & Company out of Boston, The Boston Consulting Group, Monitor Co. centralized out of Cambridge, Arthur D. Little, the omnipresent Booz Allen & Hamilton, newcomer Princeton Corporate Solutions a recent transplant to NYC from Philadelphia, Mercer Management Consulting in DC, AT Kearney in lonely Chicago and Mitchell Madison Group, another New York Madison Ave veteran. These companies have their strengths and weaknesses.

If you are taking your company public, expanding your corporation, doing in house cleanup to get rid of dead weight or just filling a C level or VP level position at your company your hiring method should be clear, concise and strategic. You need to take into consideration every intricacy that the individual being interviewed has to be exposed. You need to pay attention to what is said, not said, gestures, verbal intonations and the overall presence of the individual. Here are a few things to take into consideration when hiring an executive. These are elements outside of the resume.

Currently, investor relations is a multipronged crap shoot. Entertain, wine and dine investors with road shows, drinks and meals and just hope and pray that they’ll be interested enough to ask for your prospectus. With so many fly by night scammers polluting the IR sphere it’s almost impossible to think that there are any legitimate companies out there that can offer companies a solution that doesn’t entail bloodletting, piranha pedicures or indentured servitude, but there are.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could take a lawyer based on their word? Right now you’re thinking, “is this guy crazy?” because the mere concept of trust has become a laughable concept. Some attorneys will tell you what you want to hear and when you get the contract which puts in writing everything that you discussed it’s like the attorney wrote it in pig Latin, hand jive images and Hindi. Nothing is what it was on the phone call and everything gets lost in legalizes technical jargon.
