Tough decisions. Complex organizations. Tools that work.
We focus on our clients’ most pressing issues using a set of proven and repeatable high-impact tools.
Due Diligence
Buy or walk. Deal pricing. Post-close perspectives.
Grob Partners’ due diligence relies on uncompromising objectivity, pinpoint customer insights, and an intense focus on identifying “landmines” that could damage or destroy post-deal returns. We clarify the investment thesis and focus on the big issues. Intensive primary research, market assessments and operational analysis provide the foundation for the client’s decision to bid and at what price, as well as a first look at where post-deal value likely exists.
Bid with confidence.
Strategic Operating Plans
Tradeoffs. Clarity. Accountability.
Driving customer performance, cost position, and cash flow is hard work in a portfolio company. Management depth can be limited; unexpected challenges appear. Grob Partners’ strategic operating plans evolve from detailed fact development, intensive management collaboration, and an understanding of ownership’s desired exit timetable. Our “Strategy on a Page” approach gives the management team a point of clarity and accountability that is easy to use and highly effective.
Build the roadmap.
Merger Integration
Pivotal decisions. Systematic approach. Collaboration.
Grob Partners’ merger integration programs carefully balance synergy capture with the emotional and people issues that will inevitably determine the integration’s fate. This customized approach consistently results in business stability during integration, better performance than pre-deal synergy estimates, and stable, productive employee groups.
Beat the odds.
Business Transformation
Aspiration. Triage to win. Real results.
Moving from the big idea, whiteboards, and spreadsheets to sustainable operating practices and improved financial performance takes relentless focus on priorities: where the value lies, where challenges exist, and how to put people in the best position to deliver. Thousands of employees, dozens of locations, entrenched perspectives. No matter the size or complexity, Grob Partners’ comprehensive, highly structured, cross-functional approach can make it happen. We employ a cross-section of Bain-experienced consultants, program management practitioners and change management experts. We then partner with committed client team members to make sustainable change happen with the highest possible economic impact at investment levels and pace that makes sense.
