Delivering On A
Value Creation Plan
Your Board has delivered your management team a new plan to invest in and grow emerging channels, but all is not well:
You need to analyze relevant and comparable approaches taken by other retailers worldwide
New eCommerce channels might threaten your existing business.
You are willing to learn new capabilities, if only you knew which capabilities would be most important and when.
Your employees are still aligned around the old priorities.
You want to explore new creative options.
What got you here, won’t get you there.
Upcoming Sale Event
One of your brands is planning to be sold in the next 12 months. How do you maximize the value prior to such an event?
Which revenue channels will potential acquirers place the highest value in and why?
What activities should I double-down on prior to the sale?
What valuation will a potential acquirer place on the asset
How do I deliver the most value in the shortest time?
Failure To Launch
You announced a new Direct-to-Consumer initiative publicly, and, well, it’s not going well.
Consumer complaints are piling up.
Teams aren’t aligned and there is no single accountable owner for the new initiative.
You’ve missed more launch dates than you can count, and the next date still doesn’t seem realistic.
You realize after you launch you chose the wrong technology partners.
We may need a reset.
