This FocusCase describes how a female CEO from Belgium is trying to change the business models in the HR sector together with the two businesses she set up. The first business is an "offline" HR consulting company, while the second one is an innovative spin off from her first venture and Internet-based. The instance describes she eventually triumphs, although how hard it was for her to attract venture capital.
But more to the point, she needs to find a solution and runs into an imperative problem with her Board. A range of tactical scenarios are laid out, including the turnaround of investors, the sale of one or the other or both companies. Many fiscal, tactical, operational, but also psychological dimensions play into this choice.
