A frank, no-nonsense diagnosis, the levers that truly matter prioritised, then execution driven with your teams all the way to results. Four levers, a quantified roadmap, concrete gains, without a 200-page report.
In an SME or mid-cap that keeps running, the upside never disappears all at once. It evaporates through small leaks: a price never adjusted, purchasing left unmanaged, cash sitting idle, blurred roles. Added up, they weigh heavily, and nobody has the time to tackle them.
You fight fires all day and never get to the root causes. The upside, meanwhile, keeps waiting.
Ten topics open, none finished. Energy spreads thin, results don't come, and the team wears out.
Without a baseline or shared indicators, it's impossible to know whether you're progressing, or where to push first.
The same grid as the top strategy firms, scaled to your business and your shop floor. We don't pull them all at once: we start with the ones that pay back the most, the fastest.
We look at your prices, your client and product mix, and the real effectiveness of your sales force. Where growth is most profitable, we push.
Spend mapping, hunting down needless costs, productivity gains on the ground. We cut what doesn't create value, without breaking what works.
Payment terms, receivables, inventory, supplier terms. We go and find the cash already inside the business, without a trip to the bank.
Clear roles, shared indicators, rituals that move things forward. So performance no longer hangs on one person, but on a system.
I don't deliver a report, I deliver gains. In practice, we move in three steps, and I stay by your side until the results are there and they hold.
On site, in the numbers and with the teams. I set a clear baseline and spot the highest-impact levers.
A few priority workstreams, not thirty. Each with an objective, an owner, an indicator and an expected gain.
A cross-functional team, a weekly rhythm, we measure and adjust. And we embed the good practices so they stay after I leave.
Give everyone the reason for the change.
Find the levers that spark the will to act.
Prove fast, on one example, that it works.
A leader in industrial services, under LBO. A multi-lever programme I ran end to end: eight workstreams driven in parallel across three pilot sites, with results within the first months.
Good practices formalised and spread across the shop floor.
From 68% to 82.5% through standardised scheduling.
On a portfolio of several tens of €m, part of it already secured.
Several hundred €k of cash put back to work.
And also: rising team satisfaction, client indicators in the green, unified KPIs and dashboards rolled out across sites. Figures anonymised and rounded, out of respect for confidentiality.
On a portfolio company, these four levers become a post-acquisition value-creation plan: quick wins, synergies and investor reporting, without mobilising an army of juniors.
The goal isn't to produce slides, it's to move your numbers. You leave with a clear course and the means to hold it over time.
Illustration. Indicators are defined with you, from your real starting point.
Performance isn't one big night. It's a hundred right decisions, seen through to the end.
