When your business needs focus
Not everything goes according to plan.
Strategies shift, financial forecasts change, and reality demands new approaches. That’s when focus matters most – whether it’s redefining your strategy, strengthening your financial foundation or considering the future ownership structure of the business and what’s needed to make that happen.
Senior Executive Partners
We’re a team of experienced business professionals with solid hands-on skills from national and international companies.
We immerse ourselves in your business and the task. Together we create a plan, which we implement with the support and involvement of people and your organization.
It’s about planning and execution.
Strategy & business plan
The business plan is the foundation for running a company. It aligns the perspectives and focus of your management team. At the same time, the business plan communicates internally at all levels — from the board to the people responsible for execution. Finally, the business plan is crucial for dialogue with external partners, such as banks and strategic partners.
Together with SEP, the foundation is created for establishing the business plan. We discuss and test your existing plan and make any necessary updates. The plan is then structured in modules aligned with your business areas and organizational setup. It is turned into concrete operational actions, projects, and activities all with employee involvement to ensure it is firmly anchored in your organization.
SEP manages the entire process and takes part in implementation and initiation.
Customers and the top line
Based on a solid business plan, we define the topline ambitions for the coming period — driven by the potential within your existing customer portfolio and by the opportunities to attract new customers.
Customer partnerships thrive when the value you create is clearly documented and communicated. That value may come from your products, services, advisory expertise, or the strength of your relationships. That’s why sustainable topline growth depends on a structured and competent approach to articulating that value.
We work together to analyze your current customer portfolio and gain a full overview of key segments — identifying which are strategically attractive and which are not. Profitability is a guiding factor in shaping meaningful dialogues and making informed decisions. Understanding where your most valuable customers lie also sharpens the focus on which new relationships to target and cultivate.
Understanding how customers perceive and experience your value proposition is essential for successful topline execution. That’s why both the offer itself and the communication channels need to be validated and tested to ensure your message leaves a strong and measurable impact in the market. Together, we engage your sales and marketing teams — building ownership and energy around topline ambitions.
SEP facilitates the entire process and supports you through implementation and activation.
The value chain – end-to-end
A well-functioning and optimized value chain is essential to any business and its ability to deliver. It ensures that products and services are created and delivered in the quality promised to customers — and as defined in the business plan, from suppliers and production to the end customer. The value chain consists of many elements, which must be put together correctly— technology, equipment and the people who make it all work. These elements increase complexity but can also hold new opportunities.
Together we analyse your entire value chain — end to end — to create a complete overview across your customers, sales, supply chain, production, and organization. Based on an optimized planning process, SEP builds an integrated solution that connects every stage of the chain — from supplier management to delivery of the final product or service with the customer. This strengthens customer satisfaction driven by improved delivery reliability. Furthermore, the optimised value chain leads to smarter procurement, more efficient production, and improved inventory management.
SEP oversees the entire process and supports implementation and activation.
People
A business plan becomes reality when the people in the organization are engaged and take ownership. While technology and machinery play a major role in creating products and services, ultimately it’s your people who connect it all — through effective processes and strong organizational structures.
Together we map the organization to assess leadership capacity and competencies in relation to the business plan. Key roles are defined, while new potential is identified. Historical structures and positions are reviewed to determine where optimization — or phasing out — is needed. A clear plan for the organization’s people is then established, along with processes for continuous development and training.
SEP ensures the entire process and supports implementation and activation.
Ready for exit
One of the most important strategic questions any business faces is how and when to exit.
This requires careful consideration — and the right, trusted partner for confidential dialogue and expert guidance. Once you’ve taken the decision, you need to prepare the company for sale. Processes, procedures, and operations must be refined and optimized to present a professional and streamlined business. This doesn’t happen overnight — it’s the result of a structured process and decisive leadership.
Together we can create a clear overview of the company’s financial position. The books must be in order, and the company’s value creation must be transparent. Processes, procedures and workflows are refined, and the entire end-to-end value chain is analysed to uncover both risks and opportunities. Finally, we align the strategic compass, ensuring that the company’s vision and value creation match its valuation.
