2Acceleration Session
Our acceleration sessions drive value creation and keep the company ahead of the curve.
In these sessions, we bring together the founder/management team and the investor to prepare for the next phase of growth.
We review the earlier management scan, track progress on action points, and assess recent challenges and successes. We realign strategy, team, and leadership for the future.
We also evaluate the quality of collaboration between the investment team and management, strengthening trust and connection. Founders and leaders are supported in reflecting on their own roles and responsibilities to ensure they are best positioned for the next stage of growth.
Creating High Performing Teams
During periods of rapid growth, leadership and team development are critical to sustaining momentum and driving value creation.
We support leaders and teams reach their goals and build an environment for long-term success.
In our High Performing Team sessions, we guide teams to:
- Build self-awareness and leadership skills
- Align around a clear purpose and vision
- Define roles and ownership
- Strengthen accountability
- Make powerful decisions and take action
We achieve this through offsite facilitation, leadership development programs, one-on-one coaching, and targeted support for conflict resolution and team stagnation.
The result: stronger leadership, better team dynamics, faster decision-making, and a high-performing organization that accelerates value creation.
4Founder Succession Planning
We support leaders in identifying and developing future leaders to ensure smooth succession and long-term value creation.
Together with the Founder/CEO or investor, we define the key leadership qualities needed for the next phase and assist in the selection process, including interview support when needed. Our goal: secure continuity, protect core values and vision, and enable a seamless transition of leadership and decision-making.
Buy & Build Team Advisory
We support leadership teams and PE/VC firms accelerate value creation by guiding the integration of multiple operating companies during a buy-and-build phase.
Our support includes leadership due diligence, post-acquisition integration, change management and team development to ensure successful execution of the buy-and-build strategy. We focus on aligning leadership, strengthening communication, and building teams that can deliver on the future strategy.
The result: faster integration, stronger leadership alignment, and a high-performing organization ready to drive growth and maximize returns.
6Investment Team Advisory
We help investment teams build stronger, more effective relationships with management teams to accelerate value creation.
Through our work with many investment professionals and firms, we advise on the key steps to professionalize collaboration — focusing not just on strategy and results, but on real connection, trust, and influencing skills. We guide investment teams through workshops, live case discussions, and team sessions to make these practices tangible.
We recognize that leaders are driven by more than numbers — purpose, vision, and personal connection are crucial to leading a company successfully.
The result: deeper alignment, stronger influence, faster execution, and ultimately, greater portfolio value and long-term success.
7Supervisory Board Review
We support supervisory boards in strengthening their oversight and strategic impact to drive value creation.
Through our board reviews, we facilitate an open and constructive dialogue to ensure the board fulfills its responsibilities effectively. We analyze board composition, decision-making processes, and alignment with the organization’s goals and culture.
Our focus is on identifying areas for improvement, enhancing board dynamics, and building stronger, aligned relationships between board members and leadership.
The result: a more effective, strategically focused board that accelerates decision-making, strengthens governance, and maximizes long-term company value.

Our mediation services help resolve conflicts quickly and effectively, driving value creation and enhancing team performance.
We facilitate constructive discussions between parties, focusing on open communication and finding mutually beneficial solutions. By addressing underlying issues and aligning perspectives, we help prevent disruptions, strengthen relationships, and ensure smooth operations.
The result: faster resolution of conflicts, improved team dynamics, and a more collaborative work environment, leading to better decision-making and sustained organizational success.
9Leadership Circles
Our Leadership Circles bring together C-level professionals and (future) CEOs to accelerate their growth as leaders.
In these sessions, we create a collaborative environment where leaders reflect on their roles, share real-life cases, and learn from each other through intervision. This peer-driven approach allows participants to explore what it truly takes to be an effective CEO and navigate the challenges of leadership.
We focus on building self-awareness and applying practical leadership tools to drive both personal and organizational growth. By learning from the experiences of others in similar positions, leaders can refine their skills, tackle real-time challenges, and develop the mindset required for the next phase of growth.
The result: stronger leadership, faster decision-making, and enhanced ability to lead teams, ultimately creating significant value for your company and accelerating long-term success.
