What we did

Our client was a specialist research-oriented professional services organisation. Recently bought from the founder by one of his sons to help fund Dad’s retirement, the business was in need of fundamental review. 

We helped the new owner review the business’s strategic focus, its current operations and structure, as a consequence of which we supported it through the implementation of new performance management systems which led to a fundamental review of its business model. 

This in turn led to the development of a new on-line proposition derived from a different way of exploiting the organisation’s core competence, which eventually was sold as a stand-alone business at significant profit. The funds from the sale were reinvested into the core business, which in turn acquired a business in a related industry.  We helped shareholders and management with every stage of this transformation.
