Investors

We help you optimize organizational dynamics throughout your portfolio to accelerate value creation and improve patient outcomes.

A People Problem

Investors know that leadership matters. And yet the majority would also say that their most time-consuming challenges are people-related; from bad hires to founder transitions, dysfunctional teams, and more.

We give healthcare-focused investors time back by removing the value eroding frustrations often associated with the people side of the business.

Grow, Faster

We partner with investors who are genuinely committed to transforming healthcare and making a positive difference. We help you align with management around a change roadmap that unlocks performance, accelerates growth, and improves speed to value creation.

Through our partnership, you’ll gain added deal clarity, de-risk talent decisions, and eliminate misalignment around goals and expectations, allowing you to deliver on your investment thesis, faster.

How we help

We add value across your portfolio, helping you de-risk the people side of your businesses during three key phases of the investment lifecycle.

We add value during the diligence phase by helping investors gain a clear understanding of the organizational dynamics and people risks that will influence investment performance.

We offer investors a data-driven approach to determining current levels of leader quality, alignment, and effectiveness – along with actionable insights to support executive success. Our leader quality work in the diligence phase creates meaningful interactions that de-risk instincts and lead to better, smarter conclusions.

Unlike other firms, our assessments provide context-driven predictions of value creation accelerators and barriers – much more than just a letter grade or percentage score. We provide investors with a detailed ‘user guide’ with business-specific recommendations to support executives and teams tasked with leading rapid change, driving growth strategy, and delivering world-class results.

Our light and agile approach alongside financial, legal, and other diligence-phase providers, allows us to gather key people insights while meaningfully demonstrating our clients’ commitment to supporting and developing best-in-class talent.

We help investors quantify the value and capability of an organization’s people by assessing against the 6 primary drivers of human capital performance. We partner with the deal team or directly or with the target acquisition to understand talent considerations and constraints – opportunities, capabilities, and issues. We bring a deep level of insight into the human capital challenges and opportunities that could influence the deal.

We add value during the critical first 100 days by helping companies gain immediate traction on their value creation initiatives and improve their ability to scale.

We help executives and investors clarify responsibilities, align on strategy, and build the relationships that enable teams to rapidly execute on the investment thesis.  Different and distinct from traditional market analysis or strategy formulation, our goal in the onboarding phase is to build foundational alignment in the top 3 layers of organizational leadership.

We help ensure boards and management teams are in lockstep around growth strategy, ensure a plan that is clear, actionable and cascaded through organization so that employees at all levels can see how they contribute to success. We also assist organizations to create an updated strategic narrative that can be shared throughout the organization at all levels to drive engagement and performance.

Our leadership quality work during the onboarding phase begins by establishing a performance baseline that organizations can use to build the caliber of leaders needed to create rapid success within their unique operating environment. We then partner with portfolio companies to improve those leadership capabilities, strengthening the executive skills and behaviors that drive rapid growth and business results.

Our work during the onboarding phase helps organizations assess and evaluate their strategy and culture, uncovering any misalignment that could inhibit growth. We help executives understand how culture impacts performance, and partner with organizations to refresh and align around their strategy to support achievement of the investment thesis.

We add value during the growth/hold period, by helping companies ensure sustainable growth and enhance exit readiness.

During the growth phase, our work focuses on building senior leadership alignment that enables quick decision-making and effective execution. We help teams gain a sense of purpose, trust and determination that allows them to deliver rapid results and execute strategy.
