Services

Two practices, one operating model.

Each practice answers a different question and lands a different result. Underneath they share one working model of your business, one evidence base and one team, so an engagement can start in either practice and carry into the other without a handoff.

Practice 01

Value Capture

Where is the value in the market we could play in and in the business we already own, and how do we land it?

Every engagement starts with a strategic diagnostic: a working model of the market, the value chain and the company, built outside-in from the public record before any work is agreed. It ends with value tracked into reported results.

What we hear

We have three growth ideas and no shared view of which one to pursue first.

What lands
  • A working model of the market and the business, inspectable by anyone in the room
  • Every option sized by value at stake, demand and right to win
  • A three-wave growth portfolio with targets and owners
  • The model stays with your team and keeps answering questions
Practice 02

M&A Transaction Services

Is this deal worth doing, and will the value survive close?

Select services across the deal stages. The traditional model sells a project that ends with a deck. Ours is built to carry forward, so the model behind the thesis is the same one that proves the run rate after close.

What we hear

Few corporate development teams would have the depth and pragmatic experience to create these supporting assets to support plan development and execution.

What lands
  • Taxonomy and capability-driven models that replicate your current and future value-creation areas
  • A digital tool that reviews areas for refinement across the deal and holds the knowledge base
  • Day 1 and Day 100 plans generated from the integration engine, with named owners
  • Run-rate validation reconciled into reported results
Underneath both

One working model

Built outside-in from the public record and our standing data feeds. Your data lands in the same model when you share it.

One evidence base

Every finding traced to source, versioned and re-runnable, carried from diagnostic into diligence, the plan and the exit.

We work with public, private and sponsor-backed companies in industrials, manufacturing, aerospace and defense, consumer goods, technology, and business and professional services, typically between $50m and $1bn in revenue.
