The Challenge
The Walworth Group, a diversified industrial holding company with international operations across Mexico and the United States, faced a critical leadership transition. This transition created a lack of clarity in executive roles.
The company’s growth trajectory was further challenged by executives being heavily involved in day-to-day operations, limiting their strategic bandwidth. This situation not only delayed strategic execution but also led to inefficiencies in financial reporting and communication issues across their international teams. Walworth recognized the urgent need for critical hires with global experience to support their strategic growth and navigate the complexities of international operations and cultural differences.
Walworth needed a partner to provide a comprehensive solution that went beyond filling individual roles. They sought a strategic approach to define their organizational structure, clarify leadership responsibilities, and build a long-term talent roadmap to support their ambitious goals.
Solution
HireBetter facilitated a Strategic Talent Planning (STP) session with The Walworth Group’s leadership team. This collaborative, in-depth process included executive interviews, organizational design, and talent planning, incorporating tools like the Predictive Index.
HireBetter delivered:
- A clearly defined organizational structure that optimized their growth potential.
- Identification of urgent executive hires, including a CFO, a fractional CPO, and eventually a CTO.
- A long-term talent roadmap aligned with their strategic objectives.
Overall Results
The engagement provided The Walworth Group with immediate clarity on their organizational structure, aligning leadership around focused business goals. HireBetter delivered an actionable talent strategy, including plans to hire an internationally experienced CFO, a fractional CPO, and a CTO. HireBetter also hired a president role and controller role within three months.
These strategic recommendations and placements equipped The Walworth Group to overcome their leadership gaps, streamline operations, and confidently pursue their international expansion. By addressing the root causes of their challenges and providing a clear path forward, HireBetter helped The Walworth Group to unlock their potential for sustainable, long-term growth.
