Research shows that 50–70% of executives fail within 18 months of appointment — whether external hires or internal promotions. In most cases, the failure is not technical: it is a failure to navigate the organisation, build the right relationships and align early actions with board expectations. Despite this, most organisations leave their new executives to self-manage the transition.
JOlivier & Partners provides structured onboarding support to protect both the investment and the executive.
50–70% of executive appointments underperform in the first 18 months. The cause is rarely competence — it is almost always transition failure: not understanding the organisation, misreading the stakeholder environment, or acting on the wrong early priorities.
Structured 90-day plan development; stakeholder mapping and relationship strategy; cultural integration support; board alignment conversations; and ongoing check-ins at 30, 60 and 90 days.
Every mandate is led personally by a principal of the firm. We do not delegate to junior associates.
