Strategizing for Vertical & Horizontal Growth
A diversified holding company unlocks new value through integrated planning and transformation management
The Challenge
Without a unified growth strategy, the group struggled to prioritize initiatives and manage risk. Several subsidiaries remained unprofitable, and significant debt obligations strained cash flow. Governance between holding, sub-holding, and operating entities was unclear, often resulting in duplicated efforts and missed synergies. A bold yet structured transformation was needed to realign the group for sustainable expansion.
Our Approach
Over a six-month planning period, we worked closely with the leadership team to architect a transformation roadmap centered on long-term value creation. Our support included:
Designing an integrated long-term plan with a clear three-phase strategy: operational excellence, accelerated expansion, and sustainable growth; including 30+ work programs across entities
Conducting comprehensive financial modeling to identify value enhancement levers and cash flow improvement strategies
Selecting and detailing strategic initiatives, including new business lines, operational turnarounds, and monetization opportunities
Transformation Management Office (TMO) to oversee and drive group-wide initiatives
Leading a financial restructuring program, including refinancing and balance sheet optimization, in collaboration with external financial partners
Developing a governance charter to clarify roles and interaction models between holding, sub-holding, and operating companies
