In other cases, our clients determine that a business unit no longer fits the corporate strategy and a divestiture is required. Some of our clients determine that their business has reached a growth or value plateau and determine it is time for a sale or joint venture or they require an exit strategy.

On the buy-side, we leverage our research capabilities to identify and vet opportunities and our strategy expertise to determine best fit and to support post-acquisition integration.

Our approach is non-linear and emphasizes the strategic positioning of the organization on the competitive landscape. We then analyze core competencies and key assets in light of market opportunities and competitive threats to determine how to create sustainable competitive advantage. This includes innovations in business models and internal alignment of all activities to support and reinforce the strategy. Only then do we address the more linear tasks of strategic planning.

On the sell-side, we manage a disciplined proprietary process for creating an artificial blind market to ensure best value for the seller.
In all cases, we manage a turn-key M&A process through negotiation and close, allowing our clients to focus on running their businesses while we manage the tactical side of negotiation and due diligence thereby maximizing value in the most efficient manner.
