Post-acquisition integrations that have stalled into truce. Transformation programmes captured by the structures they were meant to replace. Ownership arrangements defending capital in its current form instead of moving it toward possibility. Wherever value is being suppressed and someone benefits from the suppression — that is our territory.

A transformation programme was being managed by the structures it was meant to replace. Reporting grew, delivery did not. The sponsoring board had a mandate it could not execute through the system it had inherited.
A family-owned engineering business
The company was viable. Its ownership arrangement was not. Capital was defended in its current form, necessary investment refused, and every path to a more productive structure blocked by the interests of the incumbent settlement.
