Capabilities-Driven Strategy + Growth

A company's right to win in any market depends not just on external market positioning and not just on internal capabilities but on a coherent strategy that aligns these factors at every level. Only a coherent company — one that pursues a clear strategic direction, builds a system of differentiating capabilities consistent with that direction, and sells products and services that thrive within that system — can reliably and sustainably outpace competitors.

Digital

Thanks to digitization, companies across industries are racing to migrate "analog" approaches to customers, products, services, and operating models to an always-on, real-time, and information rich marketplace. Some leaders are redesigning their capabilities and operating models to take full advantage of digital technologies to keep step with the "connected" consumer and attract talent. Others are creating qualitatively new business models — and tremendous value — around disruptive digital opportunities. In doing so, these companies secure not only continued relevance, but also superior returns

Fit for Growth

In an uneven business climate, companies need to transform how they operate, while creating the capacity to invest in growth. Our Fit for Growth methodology starts by articulating a clear and compelling cost agenda from the front line to the back office, continues with the building of lean and resilient processes, systems, operations, and organization structures, and culminates in the institutionalization of capabilities that keep resources flowing to "good" costs and away from "bad." The outcome is an adaptable, high-performance culture positioned on an accelerated path to sustained growth.

M&A transformation

Many companies pursue M&A in the hopes of finding a path that supports growth or engage in divestitures that are strategic rather than reactive. But all too often, they fail to gain the value promised from the transaction. Smart dealmakers avoid this fate by getting three things right: First, they focus on deals with a strong strategic rationale — those that allow them to extend their distinctive capabilities to the businesses they are acquiring, create more capability coherence in their portfolios or strengthen their most important capabilities. Second, they excel at executing the deal itself, taking into consideration market dynamics and conducting business-wide due diligence across costs, revenue, systems, talent, tax and compliance. And, third, they are expert at capturing value from their transactions. When all three of these elements are in play companies execute deals seamlessly, capture synergies during integration or realize benefits from divestitures, and deliver value to stakeholders in the short- and long-term.
