We intervene directly in cost structure, operating model, and organizational design to produce measurable EBITDA impact without disrupting what already works.
The typical PME or mid-market company carries 2030% in structural cost overruns that are invisible to standard P&L analysis. They accumulate not through bad decisions but through good decisions made under different assumptions, never revisited. We find them, quantify them, and build the programme to recover them.
A systematic audit of your full cost architecture by category, activity, and contract to identify the gap between what you pay and what market-rate, efficiently-organized operations of your type and scale should pay. Output: a ranked recovery opportunity map with explicit effort/impact estimates.
Structural redesign of how the organization operates: management layers, span of control, functional organization, shared services, and reporting architecture. Focused on reducing coordination cost and increasing decision speed without disrupting operational continuity.
Structured renegotiation of supplier and service contracts, from diagnostic through to signed amendments. We bring market benchmarks, negotiation structure, and where relevant, direct engagement with counterparties. Typical recovery: 1220% of contract value.
Time-bound, sequenced programmes targeting specific margin recovery objectives typically EBITDA improvement of 38 points over 1218 months. Includes workstream design, milestone tracking, and periodic leadership reporting.
Operational integration of acquired businesses: cost base consolidation, operating model alignment, process harmonization, and cultural integration support. Structured to preserve the value that justified the acquisition while eliminating redundant cost.
48-hour rapid assessment of your situation and the specific question to be answered. We define scope together and exclude everything that doesn't connect to a decision.
Deep-dive into the strategic or operational question. We gather, structure, and interpret drawing on sector knowledge, network intelligence, and quantitative rigor.
Clear options with explicit trade-offs. You decide with full visibility of the logic, the assumptions, and the alternatives we considered and excluded.
Where relevant, we stay through implementation ensuring the decision converts into measurable outcomes, not just a well-written plan.
Initial conversations are free, focused, and confidential. If there is a fit, we will tell you directly. If there isn't, we will tell you that too.
