Uncover new ways to realise and protect value.

Driving value through transactions

Hero image

Organic growth isn't enough anymore. To create real value, you need to accelerate change.

Transactions are key to driving that strategy forward, unlocking value, and helping your business thrive. They offer faster growth, strategic refocus, resilience and a competitive edge.

But you do need to be aware of the challenges, too.

The stakes are high both organisationally and personally. This can be daunting without the right approach or expertise.

You need to unlock and protect value before, during and after every transaction. To foster growth without losing sight of what matters.

That requires a true partner - a leader with profound expertise and tailored insights. We'll work with you to create a clear, compelling story for every audience, ensuring everyone is on board over the lifecycle of your transaction. As an extension of your team, we validate, create, realise and protect value - from the very start of your journey to long after the finishing line.

Find out how we create, realise and protect value.

There are many catalysts for transactions – where you are in your business lifecycle, regulatory needs, industry disruption, and the need to acquire new technology and capabilities at pace.

You need to evolve the way you do business to adapt and grow. But what are the right strategies that will power your change to keep you ahead?

With persistent market and economic challenges, and disruption caused by technological advances and climate change, changing the way you do business is now essential. 56% of senior executives agree that transactions are the best way to keep up with the pace of change, yet many are uncertain about the right strategies to adopt to find growth.

Explore how we can help you at any stage in your journey to uncover and realise the full potential of your transaction.

Transact <-> Transform; Transactions can be a catalyst for transformation | Transformation takes valule creation to new levels

Find out why organisations are focusing on core business offerings, selling off anything surplus to requirements or that no longer fits with central strategy or purpose. Then uncover four broad strategies for success: investing to grow, divesting and optimising, pivoting, and doing more with what you have.

“Today, the mantra is focusing on the core – do what you’re good at, and divest the rest. It’s an increasingly popular strategy – but doing it well takes care, planning and preparation.”

Growing a business doesn't always require radical change or the acquisition of another business with the skills, technology or knowledge needed to transform how you work.

Often, there can be significant unlocked value opportunities lying dormant in your existing business, particularly if you have limited resources. See why doing more with what you already have can be a rich source of growth and value.

“Businesses that take concerted steps to maximise every resource that they have are more efficient, productive and critically, more resilient.”
