Operations in Deals (OiD)
The Operations in Deals team helps you build operational strength, whether you're selling, attracting investment or integrating a new business. To be operationally sound is to have a smooth workflow from input, through transformation, to output. It’s about creating an optimised production process and an efficient supply chain using the right technology, which results in a standardised high-quality product or service.
Our team of engineers and industry experts brings an outside-in perspective—spotting what works and what needs attention. We know what to look for and how to tackle risks and issues head-on. We provide assistance throughout the deal cycle, helping to create and unlock value in an organisation.
Issues you may be facing
The valuation of a business depends on its profitability. Everything that happens in the operations of the business affects the figures. Profitability depends on lowering costs and increasing throughput. Typical challenges faced by our clients include:
- You need to transform a business to create an investment or sales-ready organisation in a (dis-)stressed situation.
- You are selling a business and need to realise the full value of the asset at the start of the transaction. Operational opportunities must be unlocked to create value.
- During an acquisition a strong operational foundation should be created to ensure that the organisation will grow strategically.
- When selling parts, or all, of a business, you want to maximise value, ensure that operational separation is seamless and that value is retained in the business.
- Before you enter into any transaction, whether it’s buy-side or sell-side, you want to ensure that the operational strategy and structure is well developed across production/service delivery, supply chain and quality control.
