Retail
Strategy Development for a Major UK Retail Bank
In the context of unprecedented regulatory change in the
core retail markets for our client, we conducted an end-to-end
strategy review to establish a fact-based view of the
market and competitive environment and internal economic
performance in order to inform the development of strategic
and operational alternatives to dramatically enhance the
intrinsic value of the business. Read more...
Market Attractiveness Assessment
and M&A support for a Major UK Plc
Our client, a brand name PLC, was looking to acquire a
substantial pool of assets from a third party in a competitive
bidding situation in order to integrate them into their
existing activities. We undertook an assessment of the
core market, identifying the core level of profitability
and prospective trends, examined the sources and magnitude
of merger benefits and supported the overall bid development
process.

Strategy
Development and Restructuring Support for a Major International Investment
Bank
Assisted the top management team of an international investment banking
business in determining the appropriate strategic and operational
response to ongoing trading difficulty in several of its core markets.
We developed competitive benchmarks to assess the relative capabilities
and performance of the business across a number of key dimensions
in order to gain buy-in from line management and the client’s
board. This was then developed into a board paper outlining the action
plan and rationale. The plan was approved by the board and is now
being implemented.
Strategy Development for a Business Unit of a FTSE 250 Plc
Based on internal and external research and analysis, we developed
a fact-based understanding of the market environment and the relative
capabilities of our client vs. key competitors in order to better
understand the key issues and opportunities facing the company. This
was developed into a set of priority issues and recommendations as
an input into both the short and long term planning processes.
Management Agenda Development for a Leading
Business Services Provider
We both structured and facilitated a series of senior management workshops
for the Managing Director of a leading business services provider
in order to develop a first-cut view of the business’ strategic
position and build consensus around the priorities for the business
going forward. We leveraged management experience and judgment, together
with focused analysis and research in order to build confidence in
the assessment. This was the basis for the development of a detailed
management agenda, including key strategic, operational and organisational
priorities for the business (including both quick wins and longer
term initiatives) that continues to drive the development of the business
and its strategy. |
