Value Creation

01. Options Exploration

Contextualize

Liquidity is the foundation of any transformational journey or a turnaround.

​

Forecast liquidity and plan cash accordingly and re-iterate the process of reviewing your cash forecast and monitoring with regular intervals. Reviewing the foundational liquidity should be an ongoing process. 

​

The focus of all your business initiatives should translate into free cash flow.

02. Your Coalition

Build Strong Foundation

Create a sense of urgency, mobilize your organization and establish a powerful coalition with key stakeholders, which address all challenges proactively. Empower your A-Players to explore all initiatives which might have a positive impact on value creation and ensure that your problem-solving approach address challenges that go beyond symptoms.

  • What are the key value drivers that will define the transformation strategy? 

  • Are managers fully committed to the plan? 

  • What is my run rate financial performance? 

03. Transformational Journey

Strategize & Test

Your plan will have to balance the different priorities of different stakeholders. Often, the plan represents a difficult negotiation among these groups.

STEPS TO CONSIDER

Agree on the plan’s scope with the stakeholders who are controlling the process. They may set constraints — such as the level of investment or gearing that can be tolerated — or they may recognize certain parameters for the process, such as financial return.

​

Examine, evaluate and test hypotheses on how the company can be improved.

 

Build scenarios and select an option where combinations of hypotheses are built and compared against the scope. This way, you can find the best fit in terms of financial outcome, risk and timing.
