  • Assistance in designing the chosen solution and, if necessary, also in conducting the sales process to ensure seamless operation from day one

Working closely with management teams we’ll identify value creation opportunities across commercial, operations, working capital and tax streams. Key aspects of the process include quantifying value creation opportunities and developing implementation plans, governance structures and dashboards to monitor results.
