Our services to optimize performance and achieve strategic transformation

How do you get back on track when your company is lagging behind its competitors?

When EBITDA underperforms competitors, it becomes crucial to understand the root causes of this underperformance. Operational diagnoses help identify these causes and put in place an appropriate turnaround plan to achieve target profitability and enable the company to outperform its competitors.

In capital-intensive sectors where investment is key, a company can find itself lagging behind if it can’t keep up. Operational diagnoses help to identify the causes of this lag, and draw up a plan to strengthen the structure, optimize profitability and reposition the company for growth.

When selling a non-strategic business, many difficulties can arise, whether human, organizational, operational or legal. The Operational Diagnosis analyzes these issues to ease the way for Dirigeants & Investisseurs to take over operational management to ensure a smooth transition and avoid conflicts of interest, while optimizing the performance of the divested entity.

The first 100 days after an acquisition are crucial to the successful integration. The diagnosis enables us to quickly adapt the company to the business plan, taking into account all operational and human aspects, and D&I supports you in implementing the actions required to make this transformation phase a success.

When an ambitious growth plan falls behind schedule, it is necessary to identify the obstacles to execution, whether they relate to organization, structure or management of internal processes. Thanks to its expertise, D&I drives operational transformation and helps managers overcome these obstacles, enabling the company to catch up and achieve its growth objectives.

Securing results through operational management

One member of the diagnosis team is responsible for implementing the plan.

He intervenes either alongside the existing manager or as the actual operational manager if necessary.

The duration of a mission may vary considerably (on average from 6 to 9 months), depending on the time required for the effective implementation of the agreed measures, including the final handover.

His teammate takes on the role of controller, and ensures the smooth execution of the mission, in line with the expected quantifiable results.

Formal and periodic reviews are conducted by the team members themselves.

Each mission benefits from the collective experience of all D&l partners.

A plenary review of all ongoing missions takes place monthly. It includes a detailed progress report on the work completed, focused on expected performance.

From the company’s perspective, a progress review of the action plan is held twice a quarter with shareholders and/or senior management.

This review is in addition to recurrent business/finance meetings and is structured as a critical review: current status, parameters to be confirmed or modified, etc.

This system aims to ensure the success of the mission and the achievement of the expected results.

Operational diagnosis

It always serves a dual purpose:

  • Identify root causes of problems and dysfunctions, as well as the company’s key success factors
  • Draw up a quantified plan for improving operational performance or turning around the company, generally over 12 to 24 months.

 

Diagnosis is systematically carried out by a team of 2 to 3 associates to ensure the quality and relevance of the conclusions.

It takes 5 to 6 weeks and includes a mid-term critical review. A final, formal, and detailed report is submitted to the clients.

Communication of the Diagnosis

When D&I is entrusted with the management of the action plan, as agreed with the current manager, the diagnosis itself and its action plan are explained to operational managers, key people in the company and, more generally, to all stakeholders involved, in order to ensure their support for the program and their future involvement.
