Paul Thomson: Walker Insurance
By: Michael Roberts, Jim Sharpe and Sonia Nagala Change
Abstract
Having just acquired Walker Insurance, Paul Thomson finds himself short of funds to support his original turnaround plan. He can request additional cash from his investor group, hunker down and grow at a slower rate or consider a proposal to buy his business. He has taken steps to re-virtualize the company and is challenged to build a salesforce to grow the business.
