How we operate
Investors and holding companies alike want to see a profitable return on their capital. They may want enhanced margins or improved cash generation; perhaps profitability is a major concern; alternatively the issue could be time critical with the business hemorrhaging cash or clients or even both; maybe the debt refinancing timetable has reached a critical stage; issues such as improved financial reporting or corporate governance could be uppermost in their minds; finally it could be time to prepare the investment for disposal.
These days more than ever, stakeholders, be they private equity investors or pro-active board representatives are recognising that every day is an opportunity for sustained performance improvement; releasing unlocked value; boosting revenue and margins; and delivering enhanced cash returns.
It is said that our “Attitude almost always determines our Altitude in Life”. Never was this more true than in the corporate world, where an underperforming lackluster business can be transformed into an energized, efficient, cash producing enterprise able to compete at the very top of their market, often by focusing on a small number of key deficiencies within the business and, together with a newly re-invigorated, incentivised and enthusiastic management team, resolving them.
We bring a practical, hands-on results focused approach to solving difficulties, initiating change and removing obstacles thus clearing a path to business success. Whether we are brought in for a very short or longer term role, we draw on a proven and effective methodology, which enables us to rapidly and efficiently assess risks and opportunities relevant to the organisation and identify those key areas impeding performance. Our involvement is dependant upon the nature of the predicament or challenge facing the business, the business areas or themes that are likely to be the focus of our work and the requisite reaction times involved.
Whatever the catalyst for bringing us on board, whatever the nature of the business challenge being faced, our approach will nearly always follow our innovative and unique three point consultancy process -
Identify - Interpret - Implement
In this way, we not only find out what needs to be done and how to do it, but we then stay to carry out the required changes .
