All mandatesDecision points
Let’s talk through the problems on your agenda and solve them.
The project’s potential isn’t showing in sales.
We put product, price, positioning and sales strategy on the table together.
An investment decision is ahead, but the direction isn’t clear.
From concept to financing, we look at the feasibility and the execution together.
The CEO and the board need an experienced outside view.
We stand beside you on growth, restructuring and buy-or-sell decisions.
Advisory areas
We work in four areas.
Real estate, sales, strategy and finance. In all four we guide your decisions as executives who have done the work, not as outside advisers.
01
Real estate development advisory
Getting land, product and market into a single, measurable calculation.
We make development decisions against the market’s reality, the financing need and the sales potential.
02
Marketing & sales transformation
Why aren’t we selling? We find the reason first, then work out the solution.
We tie positioning, price, the sales team and channels into one commercial plan.
03
Strategic & executive advisory
An independent, experienced mind for owners and boards.
We build strategy around the company’s cash and people; if needed, we step into the executive role.
04
Finance, restructuring & transactions
We build the capital structure around what the business needs.
We make investment, debt and capital decisions against the company’s real capacity, and we sit at the table with the banks.
KDM Partners
The partners at the table have run the work themselves.
How we work
First we understand, then we decide, then we deliver.
First, we understand the situation
What is the goal, what is the decision, what is in front of you: we pin that down first.
Then we set the priorities
We look at the numbers and assumptions, and decide what to do in which order.
We follow it through
We tie the decision to its financing, its people and its timeline; we don’t leave it on paper.
Let’s talk about your project.
Describe the project, the investment or the decision in front of you in two lines; we’ll cover the rest in conversation.
