| | Jon Lurie and Paul Taffinder, two leading experts on organizational performance, behaviour and change, have joined Marakon Associates as partners to strengthen its growing capability in the organizational aspects of performance and growth.
They will be based in | |
|
| | Marakon's London office.
Both Lurie and Taffinder were partners at consultancy Mercer Delta and members of its UK management team. Their experience is focused on leadership alignment, top team effectiveness, organizational transformation and change management. At | |
|
| | Marakon, they will support all of the firm's practice areas, including Strategy, Execution, Organic Growth, Growth Through Acquisition, Productivity, Leadership & Organization and Managing for Value.
Adding specialist capabilities such as those represented by | |
|
| | Lurie and Taffinder is part of a major, ongoing effort by Marakon to broaden and deepen the skills and experience the firm brings to its clients. For example, in 2003 Marakon hired a team from the Advanced Techniques Group, the marketing science unit of WPP's media agency, MindShare, to build its | |
|
| | capabilities in organic growth and customer value management. Since then, the customer value group has grown and become increasingly involved in all aspects of the firm's advisory work. | |
