M&A strategy: The pursuit of M&A without a cohesive strategy to underpin the deal is a key driver of unsuccessful M&A activity. Understand market and capability gaps and fit, and outline a solid investment hypothesis, would set the company for a successful transaction.
Commercial due diligence: Whether conducting market interviews, performing a financial analysis, or structurally assessing customer needs and market dynamics – an impartial, in-depth strategic evaluation of a target business and its market is a critical milestone for a sound investment.
International growth strategy: Companies often hope to grow internationally by pursuing opportunistic avenues or via generic perception of priority markets. A well thought through strategy for targeting and developing priority markets would maximise return, reduce risk and optimise resources. It is critical to assess market attractiveness, ability to win and risk-capability matrix as well as formulate a roadmap.
Board strategy facilitation: From co-developing a cohesive strategy between management and Board, to going through a methodical process of agreeing technology disruption and disruptive business model – a structured approach to facilitate the Board Strategy review could short-cut misconceptions, reduce the noise and accelerate alignment.
Expert advice on Telecommunications: Whether making investments or looking to do more business in the fast moving telecommunications and out-of-home media sectors, understanding the nuances of the market and tapping into industry expertise is paramount.
Part-time Chief Strategy Officer (CSOaaS): Many companies don’t have the scale or full time requirement for a Chief Strategy Officer, yet the art of strategic formulation, structuring an operational turnaround, assisting operational leaders to articulate their strategies or strategically evaluating a business opportunity cannot be overlooked. A part time, virtual Chief Strategy Officer could be the best solution in your company’s life-cycle.
