We have already worked successfully on various missions in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico for a long-standing European client in the automotive supplier industry.

Many companies have tried to steer change on their own, only to find that the road is much bumpier than anticipated. More than 80% of our engagements started after previous attempts had burned out key players and resources. That’s when we step in, providing the expertise that often eludes internal teams. One of the most common pitfalls is overburdening line managers with change management responsibilities. These managers are excellent at handling day-to-day operations, but the skills required for steering a change initiative are entirely different. The expertise needed includes not only a deep understanding of change management methodologies but also the capacity to guide a team through the inevitable turbulence of transformation. When change is treated as an afterthought – managed by individuals without the proper tools or experience – the result is often a failure. Traditional command-and-control methods may work in routine business scenarios, but they fall short when creativity and flexibility are crucial. The consequences? Projects that miss their targets, prolonged timelines, and an unsettled workforce.

The aim is to identify companies that are both financially sound and strategically well positioned to generate long-term value creation. Another important criterion is to use the succession plan of the target company for professionalization. In order to make well-founded investment decisions, a project is to be carried out to evaluate the business plans of medium-sized companies.
