The focus of Blacksmith Advisory’s expertise lies in the following five areas.
The implementation of strategic measures in the form of programs/ projects from planning to handover to the line organization requires implementation excellence and sensitive change management in order to be successful in the long term and prepare the organization for the changes.
In addition to financial optimization, restructuring and value creation enable qualified and quantified earnings potential to be leveraged. This involves analyzing and prioritizing optimization potential along a company’s entire value chain and implementing it as part of a value creation roadmap.
Mergers & Acquisitions are fundamental strategic components for companies of any size. Regardless of whether the goal is growth, diversification, financial optimization, or market expansion, planning – from selecting suitable target companies to successful post-merger integration – requires broad implementation capabilities. Especially when selling a company to strategic buyers, early and often operational engagement through partnerships is crucial to achieving attractive medium-term transactions. We support SMEs throughout this process as well as in identifying suitable buyers.
Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) are critical pillars for operational and strategic excellence in companies across all industries. Tailor-made GRC solutions minimize risks in companies and enable organizations to meet regulatory requirements and promote sustainable growth. Accurate risk analysis, the development of strategic GRC frameworks and the implementation of best-practice control mechanisms strengthen corporate resilience and reinforce a culture of integrity and accountability.
Project Recovery and Turnaround focuses on (large-scale) projects in difficulties that are facing project-related challenges. Regardless of whether it is a question of overcoming unforeseen obstacles, adapting to market changes or correcting internal process weaknesses, the successful realignment and stabilization of projects requires comprehensive expertise. This critical situation requires precise problem analysis, the development of customized solution strategies and the implementation of effective measures for sustainable success.
