Value Creation Planning

After a deal closes, management and fund owners need to know where the value is and what to do first. Cerenovus reads cost, cash, sales, and process data across the company and calculates each opportunity from the company's own transactions. The plan starts from figures everyone can check.

Designed for

Work covered in this engagement
01

Owners and management agree on the starting figures

Cerenovus calculates the starting figures from approved financial statements, transactions, and operating data. Fund owners and management can check the definitions, periods, and adjustments first.

02

Teams see how price concessions affect cash

Cerenovus checks pricing, purchasing, working capital, processes, and capacity together. Teams building the plan can see how each price concession flows through to cash.

03

Managers tie savings to invoices and capacity to production lines

A proposed saving links to the paid and contracted prices on named invoices. A capacity opportunity links to idle time on named production lines. Cerenovus states the assumptions behind each calculation.

04

Operating partners rank opportunities by value and readiness

Cerenovus ranks opportunities by value, strength of evidence, timing, and the work that must happen first, and names an owner for each. Operating partners decide what to fund and when to start.

05

Management starts the hundred-day plan with supported findings

For the first review after closing, Cerenovus lists the supported opportunities, open questions, first steps, timing, and owners. Management and fund owners set hundred-day priorities from the same evidence.

Client decisions

Management and fund owners choose the improvements, assign resources, and direct implementation.
