Owners, investors, board members, heirs, and trustees require insights (what’s going on), strategies (what to do about it) and execution (doing what needs to be done) for any business. When a business has lost its way or the objectives of owners and board diverge significantly from those of existing management, all elements of business leadership need to be reviewed and some changed.

When you engage Lone Mountain Associates, we provide you with:

The first set of client deliverables is a fresh assessment of the assets of the organization, focusing on those that can and should be protected. The Business Condition Assessment includes a review of:

• Cash flows and. burn rates
• Debt capacity and structure.
• Fixed, chattel, and intangible properties and their values, individually and together.
• Current client and vendor satisfaction levels.
• Existing human resources.
• Business policies, processes, and compliance.

The second set of deliverables is an array of alternative strategic objectives, based upon the Business Condition Assessment and realistic potential alternatives, defined within set financial parameters, such as expected capital structures, cash flows, and required timelines.

Once an objective is selected, the third set of deliverables is an array of alternative strategies to achieve the chosen objective, together with milestones and timelines.

The fourth and, for the future of the company, most critical deliverable is the implementation of the strategy. Usually, many of the elements of execution are difficult, as they involve hard choices about staffing, compensation, spending, and activities. Lone Mountain Associates has extensive experience in managing these issues effectively, from both cost and human response perspectives.

Representative of the issues addressed are:

• Curtailment of spending categories.
• New financial reporting.
• Staff assessment.
• Staff reorganization.
• Staff terminations.
• Product development redirection.
• New client analysis and sales and marketing.
• Asset, process, and network security.
• Asset valuation and disposition.
• Selling the business.
• Shareholder buyouts.
• Liquidation.

Deliverables without measurement or timeliness are only opinions. All of Lone Mountain Associates’ deliverables are quantified and presented according to rigorous, agreed upon timelines.
