Innovation and Leadership
With the pace of rapid digital technology affecting all organizations, we help design new innovation to help build more successful, leading organizations today. Entegra Partners helps you co-create and identify new innovative approaches, including leadership, learning courses and talent development, and soft skill development, such as systems thinking, to lead you to new insights, products, services and often new exciting options — sometimes in partnerships or with stakeholders — that provide a compelling advantage.
- Innovation approaches – from new product or services to organizational transformation to collaborative multi-stakeholder or system-wide innovations
- Re-framing challenges to create new innovative approaches, from hardware to organization design
- Leadership, learning courses, talent development and soft skills development – traditional leadership and management skills are often limited, so new skills around “softer” skills, like systems thinking, complexity and team leadership are needed

From early days of a new company start-up to final exit strategies, Entegra Partners can help your new company succeed. Over the last decade, we’ve combined our finance experience (Morgan Stanley, work with leading venture capital firms (Spring Ventures, Kleiner Perkins Caufield and Byers, others) and private equity (TPG, Cherokee, others)) with deep strategy expertise and advisory to help new companies like Solar City, Fisker, Oxygen Finance, Fathym, among others. All phases of a new company, including:
- New company (0–2+ years) — start-up idea and design, refining products or services, business plan, identifying Board, management team, initial strategy and goals, company alignment, customer segments and new markets, to financing (and investor pitch) and building positive momentum.
- Mid-stage (2–5+ years) – managing growth, refining strategy and roadmaps, hiring and coordinating staff and management team, Board management, more effective customer, market and partner strategies, expanded financing and strategies, and looking for and developing key strategic relationships.
- Late-stage (3+ years) – managing faster growth, refining strategies and roadmaps, building out key management team and staff, Board management, expanding and new customer strategies, financing, and nurturing key strategic relationships and identifying exit options.
