Connect strategies. Execute tactics. Grow profitably.
The goal of profitable growth is at the top of every CEO’s agenda. In the long-turn, this is a company’s ambition, but in the near term it may be a paradox. We see the opportunity to help clients deliver growth and economic value is through better connecting high-level corporate strategies with more effective tactical-level execution. Our team is prepared to help.
Strategic Planning
We help distinguish facts and hypotheses, establish a total shareholder framing for major decisions, develop probing questions for strategic sessions to identify competitive advantage, highlight pathways among strategic options, align resources to strategic choices made, target quantifiable improvements, and design a actionable strategy-to-value plan.
Pre-Day One M&A Planning
We help confirm the business context to deliver deal value, establish an integration vision with the leadership team, define options to realize synergies, focus on target outcomes, identity capabilities required for key roles, determine resource levels, develop criteria to select integration partners, and initiate a formalized plan for integration.
Total Shareholder Return
We help determine how the business model drives economic value, assess potential and in-process initiatives, establish the right performance metrics that impact customers and operations, build value management as a core capability, measure performance, align reward systems with desired employee behaviors, and design action plans to drive value.
