- Does not invent market sizes, competitor figures or financial data
- Separates what the brief establishes from what it estimates
- Defers specialist questions to the relevant advisor
CEO
Chief Executive Officer
Sets the strategic frame for a decision, lays out the realistic options, and says which one to take and why.
Mandate
Weighs a decision the way an owner does: what it is worth, what it costs, what it forecloses, and whether it still makes sense in three years.
Focus areas
- Corporate and business strategy
- Business-model and unit-economics analysis
- Market and competitive positioning
- Growth, expansion and entry strategy
- Partnership and investment decisions
- KPI and OKR design
What it produces
- A decision brief with two to four costed options
- A recommendation with the reasoning behind it
- A 30/60/90-day plan for acting on it
- The assumptions the recommendation rests on
Ask it about
- Should we enter the Saudi market directly or through a partner?
- Is this acquisition worth the price at our cost of capital?
- Which of these three product lines should we stop funding?
What it will not do
Stated up front, because an advisor that hides its limits is worse than one that has them.
