The real issue

Performance doesn't vanish overnight. It leaks, everywhere, a little.

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.

The day-to-day eats the strategic

You fight fires all day and never get to the root causes. The upside, meanwhile, keeps waiting.

Initiatives scatter

Ten topics open, none finished. Energy spreads thin, results don't come, and the team wears out.

Steering without a quantified target

Without a baseline or shared indicators, it's impossible to know whether you're progressing, or where to push first.

What I act on

Four levers, the whole P&L

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.

Profitable growth

Sell more, at a better margin

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.

Pricing & terms Client / product mix Sales effectiveness Client signals used
E.g. more qualified leads and client signals actually put to work
Costs & margin

Every euro spent put under scrutiny

Spend mapping, hunting down needless costs, productivity gains on the ground. We cut what doesn't create value, without breaking what works.

Purchasing & suppliers Overheads Operational productivity Safety & quality
E.g. ~€460k/yr of purchasing gains identified · productivity +14 pts
Cash & working capital

Idle cash put back to work

Payment terms, receivables, inventory, supplier terms. We go and find the cash already inside the business, without a trip to the bank.

Payment terms Receivables Inventory & overstock Supplier terms
E.g. −14 days of payment terms · several hundred €k freed up
Organisation & steering

An aligned team, steered by the numbers

Clear roles, shared indicators, rituals that move things forward. So performance no longer hangs on one person, but on a system.

Roles & responsibilities Standardised KPIs Dashboards Rituals & exec team
E.g. unified KPIs, dashboards rolled out, teams re-aligned
My method

From diagnosis to results, with your teams

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.

01

Field diagnosis

On site, in the numbers and with the teams. I set a clear baseline and spot the highest-impact levers.

02

Quantified roadmap

A few priority workstreams, not thirty. Each with an objective, an owner, an indicator and an expected gain.

03

Execution & embedding

A cross-functional team, a weekly rhythm, we measure and adjust. And we embed the good practices so they stay after I leave.

For it to truly work, three pillars
Meaning

Give everyone the reason for the change.

Desire

Find the levers that spark the will to act.

Feasibility

Prove fast, on one example, that it works.

A real case

What it looks like, in practice

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.

Workplace accidents

Good practices formalised and spread across the shop floor.

+14pts
On-time service

From 68% to 82.5% through standardised scheduling.

~460€k
Purchasing gains / yr identified

On a portfolio of several tens of €m, part of it already secured.

−14d
Payment terms

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.

Are you a fund?

The same mechanics, serving value creation

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.

What you get

Gains, not a report that gathers dust

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.

  • A quantified baseline: your starting point, no sugar-coating.
  • A prioritised roadmap: the highest-impact workstreams, quantified.
  • Simple KPIs and a dashboard, shared by your teams.
  • Concrete gains within the first months, not in two years.
  • Embedded good practices that stay when I leave.

Let's take stock of your performance in 30 minutes

  • Where you feel it's stuck: margin, growth, cash or organisation
  • The one or two levers that would pay back the most, the fastest
  • Whether a mission makes sense, in what format and on what timeline

A frank, confidential conversation. If you don't need me, I'll tell you straight.
