Transformations

Driving changes that produce strategic, long-term improvements and create enterprise value

Significant change means development but can also introduce risk. Our M&A transformation services help to develop and execute strategies that preserve underwritten value but simultaneously de-risk change and create enterprise value.

Business transformation and evolution are common in today’s dynamic business world. Rapid changes to competitive environments, digital technologies, and financial markets drive the need for businesses to adapt and make strategic long-term improvements, alongside key capital expenditure investments.

Challenging Circumstances

While transformation leads the action list for many CEOs, it’s also a common reaction to changing and challenging circumstances such as an acquisition, integration, or carve‑out.

Private equity sponsors expect business transformation to create enterprise value over the course of their investment cycle. Despite this imperative for change, transformations are risk-laden and many fall short in terms of value created, timing, or both.

Palm Tree works with private equity owners and company management teams to achieve transformative changes that alter a company’s trajectory.

We go beyond analysis and recommendations – we take action on workable, pragmatic solutions that we design, train for, and implement. This includes business intelligence and performance improvement solutions. It’s an execution-focused approach that lowers the stakes in a transformation and helps companies thrive in a new environment.

Aligning Stakeholders

Playbooks for transformation must be custom-built for success. Every investment thesis resulting from differences in company, culture, and management teams is unique. By aligning as trusted advisors to all stakeholders, Palm Tree tailors your organization’s business transformation efforts, tipping the scales in your favor for effectiveness.
