Transformation & Performance.
Whether merger, realignment or crisis: we identify the levers that work and support implementation through to results.
Services in detail
From lever to result.
Transformation rarely fails because of the idea. It fails in execution. We separate the few levers that work from the rest, make them tangible and support implementation in day-to-day business. We use AI where it makes processes faster and decisions better.

Post Merger Integration
Synergies that actually materialize.
The value of an acquisition is decided after closing. We bring organizations, processes and systems together in a structured way, secure the planned synergies through consistent tracking and keep day-to-day business stable throughout. Two companies quickly become one fully functioning unit.
How we realize the synergies
- Integration roadmap with clear responsibilities and milestones
- Harmonization of processes, structures and IT systems
- Synergy tracking with clear targets and follow-up
- Stabilization of day-to-day business during the integration
- Involvement of the key people in both organizations
Speed
Fast integration, so the value of the transaction takes effect early.
Synergy assurance
Planned synergies are tracked, not just assumed.
Stability
Day-to-day business keeps running while the structures grow together.
Clarity
Clear responsibilities prevent friction and duplicated work.
Strategic Lever Quantification
When planning reaches its limits.
Reporting and planning requirements have risen sharply with digitalization and growing data landscapes. In many mid-sized companies, Excel reaches its limits as a planning tool: the data cannot be relied on, and it lacks the robustness that planning and financial control require. With Strategic Lever Quantification we close these gaps through an integrated approach that turns well-founded partial plans into one coherent overall plan. The result is a reliable basis for decisions, including for the financing plans of potential investors.
How we secure the impact
- Change management: integrating your employees into the change
- Project management and communication with a shared understanding of the problem
- Structured action planning from the bottom up
- An integrated planning approach covering everything from earnings and headcount to investments
- Comprehensive support, including after the project is completed
More meaningful plans
The integrated approach makes your planning noticeably more meaningful and robust.
Consistency
Continuity from strategic to operational planning through to target and KPI systems and regular forecasts.
Liquidity under control
Accurate forecasting of liquidity needs to prevent payment defaults.
Investors convinced
A reliable basis for decisions that also convinces banks and investors before financing.
Commercial Due Diligence
Acquisitions built on rigorous analysis.
In an M&A deal, commercial due diligence is an indispensable tool for carefully examining the target company, its industry and its markets. We uncover growth potential and risks, evaluate synergies and create a solid foundation for the purchase decision. We also do this work for private equity investors and lenders who need certainty before a transaction.
What we pay attention to
- Reliable data instead of flattering assumptions
- Growth potential and risks clearly separated
- A realistic assessment of synergies after closing
- A clear read on market, competition and positioning
- A basis for decisions that investors can rely on
Product and customer analysis
Scrutinizing the performance of the target company's products and customers.
Market and competition
Market analysis including the competitive situation and positioning.
Financial position
High-level analysis of the financial position and the key value drivers.
Synergies
Identifying and evaluating synergies for value creation after closing.
Turnaround Management
From crisis back on course.
In distressed situations, every week counts. We quickly create clarity about the situation and liquidity, prioritize the actions with real impact and steer implementation with a steady hand until the company is profitable and back on its feet.
How we turn things around
- Rapid assessment of the situation and immediate safeguarding of liquidity
- Prioritizing the actions with real impact instead of lengthy analysis
- Consistent implementation in day-to-day business with clear direction
- Transparent communication with banks, shareholders and the team
- Stabilization and a lasting return to a profitable course
Liquidity secured
Cash comes first: we create financial breathing room.
Clear priorities
The few actions with real impact come before everything else, implemented fast.
Hands-on execution
We support the turnaround operationally, not just on paper.
Back on course
A lasting return to profitability and stability.
AI consulting
AI with good judgment.
Artificial intelligence is not an end in itself. We take a clear-eyed look at where it creates real value in your company, for example in analysis, reporting or recurring processes, and apply it pragmatically. The focus is always on the concrete benefit, not the technology.
How we proceed
- Prioritizing use cases by benefit and effort
- A clear-eyed review of your data and its quality
- Pragmatic solutions instead of technology for its own sake
- Automation of recurring processes and analyses
- Training your people to use the tools with confidence
Measurable benefit
AI is only used where it creates clear added value.
Faster analysis
Reporting and analyses are produced faster and with less effort.
Less routine workload
Recurring processes run automatically instead of manually.
Pragmatism
The focus is on the benefit, not the technology.
