addressable market
In the age of social media, and other online resources, it’s more important than ever for an advisor to provide insights and guidance, and not simply rely on a database or corporate Rolodex.
We know the software and services industries inside out. After many years and numerous transactions, we count many of the dealmakers in the industry as personal friends. We have experience in dozens of vertical markets, and have completed horizontal market transactions with many industry leaders.
We have assembled a team with the experience, leadership skills, energy, client focus, and innate negotiating abilities to make deals happen.
That’s why we start with a strategy brief that will deliver growth and positive change for management, owners, employees, and partners.
Our goal is to open new chapters in our clients’ lives and create more opportunities for the people who rely on them.
Our team is able to quickly pull insights from financial reports and help create a strategy that sets the stage for growth through strategic initiatives.
For example, many of our clients are profitable, and could grow faster if they were willing to take more risk. Others are growing at an eye-watering pace and could benefit from an increased focus on building corporate infrastructure.
Investor support can be gathered and then lost. Competitors are watching every move. And nothing good ever happens between the time a deal has been negotiated and the time when it closes. So we work with our clients to pick the right time for them:
Our transactions typically emerge from conversations over weeks, months, or even years.
During the process, we gauge our outreach and interactions in order to keep multiple bidders moving along at the same pace.
Interactions with investors, boards and employees are carefully timed for maximum benefit to the process, and minimum impact to morale.
Finding the right fit requires a multi-disciplinary understanding of the market in all of its complexity, as well as credibility.
But when the fit is right, it immediately delivers growth and value.
Our clients in most cases are determined to win, and our transactions are successful when we create plans and a vision that align all stakeholders around a viable, compelling fit.
Through our experience in strategy planning, alignment and activation, execution, and assessment and adaptation, we’ve distilled our best practices for strategy execution.
Clarity is the catalyst for efficiency.
Clarity creates visibility. Visibility creates accountability. Accountability creates results.
As a general concept thought leaders love to throw around, clarity is aspirational but abstract — so how can clarity become tactically approachable for you?
Without a clear corporate strategy, business and functional strategies operate in disarray and the strategy chain is broken before it can begin!
Consider then how this strategy then scales as either your company or the market changes. Building scale into strategy is an insurance policy against unpredictability.
But why are clarity and scalability so necessary in corporate strategy?
Just one problem: you forgot to talk about costs.
A great strategy without the resources to execute it is pointless.
Finances raise the question of practicality — can our ambitious strategy actually be deployed? As noted, creating the financial plan in a silo, away from the strategy, is a recipe for failure in both processes.
