Value Creation

The plan after the deal is where value is made or lost.

Embedded, operator-led delivery for portfolio companies. Diligence findings become an executable plan, anchored on a structured 100-day program with weekly reporting to the sponsor and measured milestones at every gate.

Embedded with leadership. Reported to the sponsor weekly.
The 100-day model

Stabilise. Structure. Scale.

Three phases with a go or no-go review at each gate. Weekly leadership cadence, and a written Friday update to the PE sponsor, every week.

1Stabilise · Days 0 to 30

Understand before restructuring. Operating cadence locked by day 14, risk register live, quick wins identified, cost baseline validated against diligence assumptions, critical cyber fixes made, and a full audit of AI tools in use across the business.

2Structure · Days 31 to 60

The decisions the hold period depends on. Operating model and org design agreed, vendor consolidation under way, duplicative tooling rationalised, retention locked for key people, and AI governance stood up with sanctioned tooling.

3Scale · Days 61 to 100

Momentum into the next 100 days. Cost out delivered, cloud baseline migrated, KPIs tracking against the thesis, and the roadmap to exit drafted.

Engagement shapes

Four ways to engage across the hold period.

100 Day Plan Lead

Embedded transformation leadership for the first 100 days post-completion. The plan above, led hands-on alongside portfolio company leadership.

Embedded · Post-completion

Operating Model Reset

A mid-hold correction. Service catalogue, organisation design, sourcing mix, and cost structure reset to match the value creation thesis.

Typically eight to ten weeks

Fractional CTO & Portfolio Advisor

Ongoing senior technology leadership without the full-time hire. Board-level counsel, vendor leverage, and continuity across the hold period.

Rolling engagement

Pre-Exit Tech Readiness

Twelve to eighteen months from exit, the technology story gets the same scrutiny a buyer will apply, while there is still time to act on what it finds.

Typically three to four weeks
Diligence to delivery

No handover loss.

The person who found the risks leads the response to them. Findings move straight from the diligence report into the 100-day plan, with no re-discovery phase and no consulting relay race. That continuity is the difference between a report that sits in the data room and a plan that gets delivered.
