Challenge
The StreamSets team had made good progress over the past few years, but they had hit a few roadblocks. Market conditions, team dynamics and slowing sales were beginning to drag the team down and impact results, and they knew they needed to refresh their approach.
Strategy & Execution
We worked with the Executive Team to get crystal clear on the objectives for the organization, which included changing the go-to-market strategy. From there, we coached the CEO, CTO and several other C-level executives to step into greater levels of leadership. The executives and the team as a whole addressed the blindspots that were holding them back, and navigated through a challenging time to achieve a new level of success.
Results
In the 18 months that we worked with the company, the executive team expanded their leadership skills, addressed team blindspots, and made some hard decisions that allowed them to double revenue. As a result, they were able to 3X their valuation and be successfully acquired at this new valuation by Software AG.
Challenge
Having just come through a turnaround period in the company, Novanta was ready for a culture change. Previously there had been more of a command and control environment, which was needed for the challenging times, but with the advent of a new CEO, and the turnaround complete, it was time for a new era.
Strategy & Execution
We worked with the CEO, and the leadership team to find a way for more inclusiveness and bringing out the best in everyone at the company. This was a massive culture shift as everyone was used to the politics and infighting from the old guard. But now, with Matthijs Glastra at the helm, the company and the leadership team embraced delegating controls to the capable hands of their teams so that they could focus on an even more cohesive vision and strategy to move into the next exciting phase of the company.
Results
Over the two years that Novanta worked with Burst Forward, Matthijas had a successful transition to CEO, and lead his team and company to double their revenue resulting in a 100% increase in their stock price and market capitalization.

Challenge
Informatica’s Product Management Division moved to a matrixed organization, which allowed them to be more nimble, but all of a sudden they had issues with alignment and communication. This was negatively affecting their decision making across the division, which ultimately led to decreased effectiveness internally on their teams, and externally with customers.
Strategy & Execution
Informatica’s division worked with Burst Forward to first identify the issues. This was uncovered via assessments, stakeholder interviews, and mapping out the key concerns. These were then vetted with the business leaders, and the issues were put on the table to be resolved. Additionally, Burst Forward worked with top leaders to make sure that the new strategies and goals were cascaded into the organization.
Results
The final result was a more aligned leadership team, clear strategy and goals throughout the division, and a greater sense of clarity and communication that was able to be cascaded into the organization.
