 COMMUNITY

The Oliver Wyman Health Innovation Center is designed to create a healthcare system that is driven by innovation and consumers' needs, creating value for companies and the public alike.

We support manufacturers of industrial products across various subsectors and topics. Our goal is to achieve sustainable value growth for our clients, helping them navigate and adapt to ever-increasing geopolitical, economic, competitive, technological and resource dynamics. We develop tailored solutions to address each client’s unique situation. As a result, we assemble our teams to bring the right blend of skills and experience for each challenge. We work side-by-side with our clients to drive the necessary transformation and achieve lasting impact.

Our expertise

Machinery And Components

Engineered products require innovation, complexity management, customer proximity, and international sales networks to succeed. We support machinery and components companies throughout the value chain, unlocking new value pools and managing risks.

Plant Engineering And Construction

Plant engineering and construction require project management and on-site value creation with many partners. Companies should focus on core competencies, localization, risk management, and digital tools to drive profit.

General Manufacturing​

Manufacturing is highly competitive, and operational excellence and manufacturing footprint decisions are crucial. We optimize supply chains and leverage advanced technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve growth and efficiency for our clients.

We help our clients to achieve amazing results, both on deals and post-transaction. We serve private equity firms and their portfolio companies with a focus on delivering a differentiated return on investment across the investment cycle. We also support corporates and financial institutions with mergers and acquisitions (M&A) by providing value through all the transaction stages: opportunity identification and valuation, project management office (PMO), negotiation support and sale process management, and post-merger integration (PMI).

BUY-SIDE DUE DILIGENCE

We bring deep industry and capability expertise, alongside our diligence expertise, to provide clients with the diligence insights, helping them to make more informed investment decisions. Our key focus areas include the strength of the value proposition, total addressable market (TAM), market size and growth trajectory, key drivers of growth, and the companies' position in the market. We also examine and evaluate potential growth levers and the attractiveness of market adjacencies, as well as how technology drives competitive advantage, support for the business plan and any associated risks.

We also work with companies immediately post-close, offering commercial effectiveness and operational expertise to help them evaluate available levers.

POST-TRANSACTION SUPPORT FOR OPERATIONS

In the post-deal part of the investment cycle, we deliver rapid, tangible results to help clients realize the full value potential of their new assets. We find cost impact ranging from 10-25%, depending on the spending area and recency of optimization initiatives.

Our post-deal support includes a value creation assessment and development of a 100-day plan or full potential plan, and identifying the highest priority operational performance improvement initiatives. Our team can help generate portfolio company performance improvement with a diagnostic and implementation for Rapid EBITDA enhancement using 27 individual performance levers in eight improvement areas: Procurement and Sourcing, Supply Chain and Logistics, Manufacturing and Footprint, Plant Network, General and Administrative (G&A) and Overhead Excellence, Research and Development (R&D) and Product Development, People and Organization, and Data and Technology.

We also have expertise in implementing performance management systems to track and report value enhancement initiatives and managing cross-portfolio benefits to reduce healthcare and benefits expenses through our unique offering in collaboration with Mercer.

 POST-TRANSACTION SUPPORT FOR COMMERCIAL EXCELLENCE

We find the impact of commercial effectiveness levers is often significant, such as 12 percent EBITDA improvement or increasing enterprise value tenfold. Our post-deal support involves running a value creation assessment and developing a value creation plan, such as a 100-day plan or full potential plan, including the highest-value pricing and commercial or go-to-market (GTM) opportunities.

Our team identifies revenue uplift opportunities through a variety of pricing and commercial effectiveness levers. This includes:

• Value proposition and targeting (such as commercial strategy, target customer segments, unique value propositions, and positioning)
• Offer design and pricing (such as offer strategy, bundling approach, pricing strategy, and execution)
• Marketing and demand generation, sales and distribution or channel models (such as structure, roles and responsibilities, coverage, and channel management)
• Sales enablement (such as tools, processes, incentives, and other enablers)
• Customer management (such as improving retention and upselling or cross-selling).

EXIT PLANNING AND VENDOR DUE DILIGENCE

Our approach to a vendor due diligence is to take the lens of a potential buyer, and to orient the work around the areas where they are likely to focus. This involves identifying segments that generate the most revenue, segments that are projected to generate the most growth, and segments that may be at risk, if any.

We take the “buyer lens” approach for several reasons. Sellers and bankers are finding that the vendor due dilligence fact-base and insights help keep potential buyers in the sales process longer (particularly applicable with an auction). Notably, it is generally the primary research and synthesized view of the market dynamics that they find most valuable (as most potential buyers have analysts who can pull publicly available data). 

In exit planning, we help identify the best natural buyer, allowing us to work backward to develop the thesis. This process may begin as early as pre-acquisition, encompassing value creation, vendor due diligence, and developing the equity story and ownership strategy.

In vendor due diligence, we work with clients to objectively lay out, utilizing a robust factbase, the dynamics of the market and the company’s position in that market. We break down complexities to ensure the market is well-understood by potential buyers, arming them with the necessary insights. 

 POST-MERGER INTEGRATION & CARVE-OUTS

Oliver Wyman has developed a holistic approach to post-merger integration to ensure that our clients capture the full value of transactions.

Our approach includes effective alignment and culture change, operations management and performance improvements, customer retention, supplier/vendor integration, and intelligent rationalization – backed by detailed, step-by-step implementation support.

Recent Project Examples:

• Planned the post-merger integration of a newly purchased portfolio company with another company previously purchased by a PE firm
• "Leaned out" an entire A&D manufacturing process, conducted a performance improvement program, and reorganized supply chain processes
• Implemented a value-sourcing program for a large electronics firm
• Created a downstream service growth program for a plastics machinery company
• Ran the program management office, restructured US operations, and developed synergy targets for a US-based auto supplier of machinery acquired by a European player
• Organized and executed the post-transaction integration planning effort and supported the functional integration teams of a combination of equally-sized utilities

DEAL-DRIVEN TRANSFORMATION

We work closely with our clients' leadership teams, and their broader organizations, to drive speed, accountability, control, and high-quality outcomes. We help identify and solve the most complex and value additive aspects of the deal, be it how to capture revenue synergies, take costs out of the combined organizations without “breaking the business”, defining go-forward ways of working, and ultimately ensuring the differentiating capabilities that drive sustained value persist over time. These are often history defining moments where a tailored approach supported by a deep bench of industry and deal-driven experience is critical for success. 

Post-Merger Integration

We advise CEOs and senior leadership, and work hand-in-hand with workstream teams to drive results and deliver on the deal value proposition. Our deep industry knowledge and collaborative approach allows us to uncover key value levers and accelerate impact.

Carve out and Separations

We support clients in the divestment of assets and ensure that they get the best value while keeping the rest of their portfolio active. Our team will stand by your side through strategy, operating model redesign, removal of stranded costs, and transition management.

Sale or Public listing

We guide our clients through the complexity of the IPO or SPACS process. We use our expertise to de-risk critical elements of the process, and allow key personnel to focus on business growth.

The next stage of growth

In today’s market, many of our clients are confronting macro-economic trends by exploring inorganic growth strategies. Unfortunately, most of these transactions do not achieve their targeted impact. Around 70-90% of deals fail to meet expectations, citing challenges ranging from inflated expectations to poor pre-deal planning, post-deal execution and inadequate attention to cultural dynamics and change management. 

So, what does it take for a transaction to create value? How can you turn the deal rationale into realized potential and drive long-term performance? 

Sealing the deal is a pivotal moment, but it is just the start of a complex journey.  

Whether you’re contemplating a merger, acquisition, carving out a business unit, or readying yourself for sale or public listing, our Deal-Driven Transformation team can help. From pre-deal diligence, to deal execution, implementation and value creation and capture – we leverage our deep industry knowledge, proven methodologies, and approaches to create a tailored plan to capture value from the deal, accelerate results, minimize risks, and drive sustained impact. We advise and collaborate with our clients in high-stakes, complex situations where some form of underlying structural change – such as through a merger or divestiture – presents the opportunity for strategic and financial value capture. 

We understand what it takes to win in Retail and CPG: an obsession with serving the customer, constant dedication to better execution, and a relentless drive to improve capabilities. Clients tell us that our hands-on approach to making change happen is truly unique – and the reason they choose to work with us again and again.

Our philosophy is simple – produce results, not reports.

We have a multi-decade track record of helping clients develop and execute programs that drive demonstrable and sustained impact. We deliver significant improvements in our clients' sales growth and profitability – often in situations where the business model requires rejuvenation or reinvention. Our approach combines deep industry knowledge, state-of-the-art analytics, and the proven ability to achieve lasting change fast. Clients choose us because they know from experience that the results will be there.

RETAIL

We know that retail is a tough business, and it is getting tougher. A combination of the disruptive new formats and consumers under economic pressure means that the gap between winning retailers and losing retailers is growing. We work with our clients to navigate to growth and fund that growth with efficiency. We go beyond changing the client at a moment in time to jointly building capabilities that will stand the test of time. And we achieve these goals based on a deep understanding of both the ‘science’ and the ‘art’ of great retailers.

CONSUMER PACKAGED GOODS

We know the consumer products industry is facing challenges created by shifting consumption behaviors, demographics, digital technology, emerging markets, and industry consolidation – just to name a few. Capturing organic and profitable growth under these circumstances requires a shift in company focus and new capabilities. Our Retail and Consumer Goods Practice helps our clients identify the under-exploited sources of profitable growth, work with them to realize such opportunities and build capability for the future.

WHOLESALE AND DISTRIBUTION

We understand the unique challenges you face in the distribution and wholesale industry. You need winning operations and sourcing at the back end plus highly customer-focused and tailored commercial behavior at the front. We draw on unrivaled customer and strategic insights, state-of-the-art analytical techniques, and our unique commercial decision-support software platforms to help our clients succeed. Over the last 25 years, we helped clients win in this environment by creating a real competitive advantage and driving significant growth.

The broader transportation ecosystem is a critical part of the world economy, moving people, goods, and information around the globe. We advise clients on the innovations and pressures that are changing the industry – from digitization and new mobility, to changes in regulations and trade flows.

By understanding the nuances of each transport sector, we connect the dots across the ecosystem, bringing the best ideas from a range of industries to our clients’ businesses.

Aerospace And Defense

We advise aerospace and defense companies on corporate strategy, research and development, production, program management, and commercial excellence. For commercial aerospace, we deliver impact for organizations which bring core aerospace products to market as well as providers of aftermarket services. From our work across the aviation sector, we also bring a deep understanding of the strategic needs and issues of the end customer base: airlines and other aircraft operators.  

In defense, new strategies and philosophies of engagement and changing government spending patterns continue to further disrupt the traditional model.  We assist governments and defense agencies in how to best leverage technology advances like drones, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in their businesses. In addition, we work with defense suppliers to inform commercial and operational strategies to win in the marketplace while leveraging our firm’s longstanding capabilities in commercial aircraft and systems sustainment to bring a wealth of knowledge to companies engaged in the defense aftermarket.

Aviation

Our expertise runs both broadly across the c-suite’s agenda and deep into airline specific functions. We help our clients grow and succeed in a world of global competition, advising them along the entire airline value chain — from strategy setting, to network and fleet planning, to pricing and revenue management, and loyalty, to operations and maintenance, crew and airport management, and beyond. Our work and expertise extends across a range of airline business models and brings a holistic as well as a regionally focused perspective on the aviation landscape. Our work goes beyond the operators to include the airport infrastructure and supply base including catering, ground services, MRO, and concessionaires, and other providers.

Express And Postal

We help our express, pack age and postal clients – both incumbents and new entrants - to grow, digitize their businesses, optimize their operations, craft new customer-oriented solutions, and assist with expansion plans such as acquisitions to redefine their business’ role to remain vibrant and relevant in today’s digital world.

Logistics, Freight, And Third Party Integrators

Evolving e-commerce dynamics, changing global trade volumes, and new disruptive players have sent the incumbent logistics sector into turmoil, with all players now in search of innovative offerings and the next engine of growth. We work with clients to define the future growth cycle and to address the opportunities of digitalization across the logistics and intermodal sector.

Rail And Public Transit

We provide clients best-in-class expertise in evaluating business designs and go-to-market strategies, digitization options and customer-facing touchpoint analysis, and the processes and functions supporting the operations of surface transportation networks.

Our team members are leading experts on rail and road equipment such as rolling stock, rail control systems, rail equipment subsystems, infrastructure management, and shop optimization, with extensive experience across all major freight and passenger markets and in-depth privatization expertise. 

Travel And Leisure

With so many options, so much flexibility, and increasingly higher expectations, the 21^st century traveler seeks experiences that go beyond the vacations and business trips of yesteryear. We advise travel and leisure companies – hotel, airlines, passenger rail and bus operators, theme parks, cruise operators, gaming and lottery companies, tour operators and travel agencies, and concessionaires – how to develop growth strategies to improve their business and captivate these exacting customers.

We advise leaders across all levels of government on developing innovative solutions to complex problems. Our work spans the spectrum of societal issues, including economic development, cost management, tax, security, labor, and governance. We leverage our deep understanding of the rapidly shifting socio-economic challenges facing nations and provide clients with the breadth of expertise across Marsh McLennan’s operating companies Marsh, Mercer, and Nera.

We understand the intricacies of policy design and formulation, and have practical experience in helping public sector authorities stay ahead of the curve in a fast-changing world. We bring commercial best practices and public sector acumen to support heads of state, ministers, heads of agencies, and other senior leaders with their greatest challenges, in areas such as strategy, risk management, operations, and organization transformation.

As a global team, we place a high priority on developing sustainable restructuring concepts that address both the market and the competitive environment, as well as specific factors for success. Oliver Wyman acts as an objective expert and a neutral third party who provides quantitatively supported advice to address the interests of management, shareholders, lenders, and other stakeholders.

We believe that every company’s situation is unique and that taking decisive action can maximize value. We offer hands-on support and work with constituents directly. Additionally, we help our customers build stronger, more innovative businesses, that are better positioned for sustainable growth.

What we do

BUSINESS TURNAROUND

Businesses get into crises for many reasons, many times market driven but also due to business designs or operations that are no longer competitive. We partner with organizations to identify the root causes for the crisis, develop a target picture for the restructured business, and derive an action plan to execute the turnaround.

Oliver Wyman works across all areas of the business, including commercial effectiveness, operational improvements, changes of the organization, M&A and more. We identify which parts of the business are core to the future and how to accelerate growth, and which parts of the business are less core and how to maximize their value to the company.

We work closely with company leadership to ensure effective change management involving all stakeholders, and we run a Program Management Office (PMO) to ensure everything is executed successfully.

Ultimately, we work with the company to create a sound business and financial plan that drives profitability and cash flow, while minimizing implementation risk.

COURT-BASED RESTRUCTURING

Sometimes, a company faces a crisis that could endanger its ongoing viability. In these situations, our restructuring team works closely with the management team to identify options and determine the best course of action, then rapidly implement a comprehensive plan.

We begin with a situation assessment, recognizing that court-supervised restructuring is often the least preferred option. We analyze root causes and opportunities to quickly turnaround and transform the company.

Where court-supervised restructuring is the company’s best option, we work with company management and legal advisors in all strategic aspects of the business. Through the process, we work as thought partners on the emerging strategy and as implementation partners in executing the strategy. Ultimately, our work together is the basis for developing the Plan of Reorganization.

Oliver Wyman brings a combination of deep restructuring and deep industry expertise, to define future customer demands, incorporate leading operational cost reduction plans, and to develop detailed action plans and program structures.

INDEPENDENT BUSINESS REVIEWS (IBR)

When an independent and objective outside-in assessment of a company in distress is required, we leverage our deep industry expertise and extensive restructuring experience to identify risks and opportunities. This enables us to assess business-plan revenues, profits, and cash flows. In particular, we focus on the viability of the business design and the ability of the company to win against its competitors.

Using benchmarks and best practices from industry peers and our toolbox of methods to achieve operational excellence, we offer concrete recommendations on how to improve profitability and liquidity, often even beyond what was planned in the original business plan.

Hence, our IBRs are more than formal reviews; they create real value for the company.

In devising sustainably successful restructuring approaches for clients, Oliver Wyman draws on our deep base of knowledge about market trends and specific success factors, our far-reaching expertise in operational excellence methodologies, and our solid grasp of the needs and options of various financial sponsors (such as equity/borrowed capital). We take an integrated approach in this work, and we base our restructuring concepts on four pillars:

• Strategic repositioning: The focus is placed on core markets and potentially profitable business fields. Business operations that destroy value will be closed or divested.
• Value-focused business model: Using our approach called value-driven business design, we optimize such business drivers as a company's customer, product, and technology portfolio, define core skills, and align the organization with the strategy.
• Operational excellence: The focus is placed on lean organizations and processes. In particular, this work is aimed at simplifying production networks and increasing efficiency and effectiveness by applying such methodologies as LEAN and Six Sigma. In addition, purchasing and the entire supply chain are optimized.
• Financial restructuring: Based on the strategic repositioning work, the value-focused business model, and operational-excellence programs, we determine liquidity needs and the requirements for a sound capital structure through the use of integrated financial planning. This creates the foundation for a financing concept that optimally weighs the interests and decision-making freedom of all participating parties. 

Careful monitoring of the project's implementation is key to its success. Also vital is keeping all stakeholders up to date on the status of implementation, transparently reporting potential problems. Effective communication enables barriers to implementation to be identified at an early stage and then removed. Oliver Wyman assists with the implementation of restructuring programs in many ways, including:

• Monitoring the implementation and the achievement of planned improvements
• Delivering regular status reports to management, owners, and financial stakeholders 
• Performing ongoing liquidity management (including rolling liquidity projections, liquidity-bolstering steps, and potential problems)
• Supporting communications activities about the restructuring program within the company and to external stakeholders

LIQUIDITY FORECASTING AND CASH MANAGEMENT

In a turnaround, there is a shortage of liquidity, often resulting in too much cash being locked up. We create visibility on the true cash available, identify sources and drains of cash flow, and establish or improve rolling cash flow and liquidity forecasts (including scenario planning). Ultimately, our approach is to partner with organizations to determine levers for liquidity improvement.

Simultaneously, we help businesses implement advanced tools, models, and best practices to achieve rapid turnarounds. Through close collaboration with our clients, we take a proactive and comprehensive view on improving liquidity, that allows them to identify shortages early on, and safeguard their solvency long-term.

CREDITOR ADVISORY

We work closely with creditor groups, including global financial institutions, alternative investors, bondholders, national and regional banks, labor constituencies, and other capital providers. 

Our credit advisory experts understand the unique challenges faced by lenders and help navigate the restructuring process. We develop strategies that optimize creditor outcomes, and we work with lenders to ensure their interests are protected and maximize overall financial recovery. 

We collaborate with all constituencies through the restructuring cycle, from determining the drivers of the company’s challenges to evaluating the go-forward business strategies including impact on valuation, assessing options, and negotiating a successful resolution.

NON-PERFORMING LOANS

We work with financial institutions and other lenders on strategies for how to handle non-performing loans within their credit portfolios.

DIGITAL ASSETS

We work with crypto-native firms, private capital, public policymakers and traditional finance players to provide restructuring and turnaround support.

Our combined capabilities and expertise help our clients in developing and realizing their strategic vision for the crypto and blockchain universe.
