Boards and CEOs are under more scrutiny than ever before and are expected to deliver increasing shareholder returns in a challenging market and a slow-growth economy. Using publicly available information, we provide an objective perspective of your company’s performance and articulate the business case for specific areas of shareholder improvement.

Clients call us when:

• Board members and senior management disagree as to the level and urgency of change needed and they need a respected, independent adviser to help finalize a course of action so that real progress can begin.
• Their shareholder list includes known activist investors and they want to understand potential vulnerabilities.
• They want independent operational insight on their activist response plan.
• They have a new CEO or CFO who wants to make an impact quickly.

Our 'outside in' services include:

• Identification of operational performance gaps versus the industry and competitors
• Financial statement review 
• Business case for specific initiatives to increase shareholder value
• Corporate governance and board composition review
