Co-Partners understands the challenge that companies face when confronted with under-performing or non-strategic businesses. Financial and market pressures can create an urgent need to respond, yet concerns for stakeholders’ interests require that the board and management adopt a disciplined and rational approach..
Co-Partners can provide proven, experienced business leaders and functional experts with first hand experience in re-positioning stagnant, declining or troubled businesses. In many cases, we have faced similar challenges calling for effective decision making under difficult circumstances. Co-Partners can bring greater clarity, an independent perspective and no political agendas to the situation.
Co-Partners offers the following services at either the business unit or portfolio level:
At a portfolio level, we will assist you in evaluating various business platforms with the objective of determining the best strategic option for each underlying business unit. We work with clients to identify what remains in the core business, how to grow it and what steps to take to address the other situations (e.g. close strategy - cost reductions, wind-down and liquidation plans; sales strategy - divestitures, carve-outs and spin-offs).
While cost cutting and disposition activities are often essential to prune the business for growth, Co-Partners is uniquely positioned to assist in those situations where a re-build or re-start strategy is required to re-invigorate business growth.
