You've Built a Successful Company. Now Build What Comes Next.
The Growth Acceleration Platform helps successful privately held companies break through growth ceilings, strengthen leadership, improve profitability and build substantially greater enterprise value.
The Business Is Good. But You Know It Could Be Better.
You've already done the hard part—you built a real company with customers, revenue, employees and a reputation.
Yet successful businesses frequently reach a stage where the systems and leadership that created today's company cannot create tomorrow's.
The company has more potential, but the next move is unclear.
Important decisions repeatedly find their way back to you.
Sales may be increasing without the EBITDA or valuation improvement you expect.
Growth, succession, acquisition, investment or exit requires a stronger organization.
These Problems Don't Usually Require More Advice.
They require experienced leadership, operating discipline and consistent accountability.
You've Hit a Growth Ceiling
The business is successful, but momentum has slowed and the path to the next level isn't obvious.
Execution Is Inconsistent
Everyone is busy, but important strategic priorities do not move forward consistently enough.
Accountability Is Too Weak
Goals exist, but ownership and follow-through vary throughout the organization.
Leadership Needs to Scale
The leadership team that built today's company may need new capabilities for tomorrow's business.
Departments Work in Silos
Sales, operations and finance are working hard—but not always toward the same priorities.
Enterprise Value Is Underdeveloped
Revenue alone doesn't determine what your business is ultimately worth.
Especially Relevant When Manufacturing Gets More Complex.
As manufacturers grow, complexity can begin working against them. More employees, more equipment, more locations, more SKUs and more customers do not automatically produce stronger margins or a more valuable business.
GAP helps manufacturing leaders connect strategy, leadership, operations and financial performance so growth produces a stronger enterprise—not simply a busier factory.
The 3 A's That Turn Strategy Into Results.
GAP combines strategic experience with execution and resources so good ideas don't remain ideas.
Advisory
Strategic guidance from former CEOs, Presidents, COOs, PE operating executives and growth operators who have actually built, transformed, acquired and sold companies.
Accountability
Weekly executive accountability creates focus, ownership and consistent execution so the organization's most important initiatives keep moving.
Access
Gain access to capital relationships, M&A experience, executive talent, growth resources and a Billion Dollar Board when your strategy requires more than internal resources.
Bring the Experience Your Next Stage Requires.
Most lower middle-market companies cannot—or should not—hire every executive, advisor and specialist they may need individually.
GAP gives your leadership team access to a broader operating platform built around one objective: creating measurable enterprise value.
GAP Becomes Especially Valuable at Inflection Points.
When the stakes are higher, experienced executive perspective and disciplined execution can dramatically affect the outcome.
Enterprise Value Comes From Better Performance.
The experience behind GAP includes significant operational, financial and value-creation results.
Approximately 100% EBITDA Growth
A major consumer-products manufacturer improved operations across 18 production locations. Within three years, EBITDA increased from approximately $61 million to $122 million. Safety moved from worst-in-industry to best-in-class, product quality improved, and the organization earned national recognition as an exceptional workplace.
Revenue Doubled. Profitability Tripled.
Two consumer brands were restructured and combined under a single operating platform. Leadership, operations, commercial strategy and culture were aligned around a disciplined three-year value-creation plan, successfully positioning the company for a private-equity transaction.
