The entrepreneur’s journey is full of twists and turns and obstacles along the way and many look at the acquisition as the holy grail.
What we RARELY, if ever, hear entrepreneurs discuss is the challenge of choosing the right partner for the business that they spent so many years and so much blood, sweat, and tears building.
The sale of a business is far from just a financial transaction. It’s about knowing that the impact that your business has made before the acquisition will be valued and built upon. It’s about knowing that the people who helped you build it will have opportunities to grow. It’s about knowing that your clients will only have an even better experience than you’ve been able to give them with an even bigger and stronger partner behind you. You’ve also gotta have confidence in the sustainability and growth of the partner you’ve selected to acquire your business.
It’s a bet that both the entrepreneur and the acquirer make together in hopes for a harmonious relationship for years to come.
Well, after more than a year, I can confidently say that I’m so proud that Yardstick Management has become a part of the Diversified Search Group family of brands. We are the #1 Women led Exevutive Search firm on the PLANET!! And that’s what Forbes said, not just me. In fact, calling us an Exevutive Search firm is just the tip of the iceberg. We are still very much a Management Consulting firm. We also offer phenomenal leadership gatherings and conferences such as the Executive Women's Forum on Information Security, Risk Management & Privacy and the Yardstick Management Institute. We are the global leader in Nonprofit Search powered by Koya Partners | Diversified Search Group. We have the top Healthcare search brand in Grant Cooper | Diversified Search Group and our Higher Education Search practice powered by Storbeck Search | Diversified Search Group is the preeminent leader in placing Univeristy Presidents and their cabinets across the nation!
But even more importantly, I’m honored to have partnered with a firm that puts its people first enabling us to deliver incredible value for each and every one of our clients. Who woulda thought that a company backed by a multi billion dollar private equity firm that is a Forbes Top 10 firm in the world could still walk the walk on its values and still truly feel like family.
If you’re not working with us by now, don’t worry, you still can. You and your organization deserve a partner who will customize their services to meet your unique and specific challenges head on, in partnership with you.
