Advisory

Six practices, a single agenda.

The problem facing an entrepreneur, a CEO or a shareholder does not arrive organised according to their advisors’ practices. It arrives as a decision. Our practices are built to be crossed together.

Strategy and transformation

Shape the next chapter.

We work alongside CEOs, boards and owners when growth, competitive discontinuity or technological change call for rethinking the direction of the business. From strategic ambition to business model, from positioning to operating model, we translate strategy into a few distinctive choices, measurable priorities and a delivery roadmap.

The aim is not to produce strategy. It is to build a direction able to become action.

Governance and board advisory

Better governance. Better decisions.

We work alongside owners, boards and leadership teams in building governance structures able to sustain growth, transformation and ownership transitions. We work on how the board functions, on decision architecture, on alignment between ownership and management, on succession and on the governance of transformation.

Governance is not only a system of rules. It is an infrastructure for making better decisions.

M&A and strategic transactions

Strategy before transaction.

M&A does not simply mean buying or selling a company. It means taking a decision capable of changing the future of the business, its ownership structure, its competitive positioning and its capacity to create value.

We work alongside entrepreneurs, families, companies, boards and investors from the definition of the strategic rationale through to the execution of the transaction. The starting point is not the deal: it is the strategy that makes it necessary.

M&A strategy

Assessment of strategic alternatives, portfolio review, build/buy/partner choices and definition of the investment rationale.

Buy-side advisory

Acquisition strategy, target identification and screening, approach to counterparties, strategic assessment, valuation support, structuring and negotiation.

Sell-side advisory

Preparing the business, building the equity story, mapping buyers and investors, running the process and supporting negotiation.

Private equity and investors

Investment thesis, strategic due diligence, value creation plan, governance, management assessment, buy & build strategy and exit readiness.

Capital and strategic partnerships

Growth capital, minority investors, search for industrial partners, joint ventures, strategic alliances and the evolution of ownership structures.

Execution and negotiation

Transaction structuring, valuation support, coordination of due diligence and specialist advisors, negotiation and decision support.

Post-deal value creation

Governance, leadership alignment, integration, synergies, transformation roadmap and value creation plan.

The deal closes. Value creation starts.

Value creation and performance

Value beyond the decision.

We work alongside shareholders, boards, CEOs and investors in building agendas able to turn strategic ambition into measurable performance. We identify the value levers and integrate growth, portfolio, capital, organisation and performance into a single agenda.

Leadership and organisation

Leadership behind transformation.

Every transformation has a visible strategy and a leadership that makes it possible. We work alongside CEOs and leadership teams in building the organisational conditions needed to turn a new direction into results.

Leadership model, executive alignment, organisation, succession, culture and capabilities are not simply HR topics. They are the human infrastructure of strategy.

AI and decision intelligence

From Artificial Intelligence to Leadership Intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is changing how companies produce, decide, compete and create value. We help boards and leadership teams turn AI from a technology agenda into a strategic priority.

We start from decisions and value in order to identify where AI can change processes, operating models and management capabilities. The question is not only «Where can we use AI?», but «Which decisions, processes and business models can we rethink because of AI?».

Strategic enablers

Two levers that cut across every practice.

Brand and strategic positioning

Corporate positioning, brand architecture and strategic narrative, to align identity, reputation and brand value with the strategy of the business.

Stakeholders and ecosystems

Partnerships, stakeholder strategy, institutional positioning and ecosystems, to sustain transformations that require consensus, relationships and the ability to mobilise different actors.
