Supply Chain Optimization

Commercial growth is a coordinated set of actions across sales and marketing to take advantage of key opportunities for value creation. We help companies understand the market, industry, company situation, and dynamics to enhance strategic decision making.

Process & Cost Improvements

Process improvement involves identifying, analyzing and improving existing business processes to optimize performance, lower costs, meet best practice standards or simply improve quality and user experience. We assist with end-to-end process management and cost controls.

Turnarounds & Restructuring

Our advisors help drive successful turnarounds, stabilizing FP&A and operations. We pressure-test liquidity forecasts, improve cash flow management, analyze and refine business plans, evaluate strategic alternatives, provide negotiation support and guide complex debt restructurings.

Integrations & Carveouts

We have clearly defined integration and carve out methodologies by corporate function, including Finance, Human Resources, IT, Research & Development, Sales and Marketing, and Supply Chain. Our experience and approach can save time and mitigate risk at each step of the integration or carve out.

ERP Implementation Monitoring

Finance Transformation

Finance transformation describes strategic initiatives aimed at re-envisioning the finance function to align with the overall company strategy. We support how the organization manages its finance function and the associated processes, internal controls and reporting.

Budgeting & Planning

Labor Relations & Union Activity

Finance Transformation

Planning, budgeting and forecasting is typically a three-step process managed by the CFO for determining and mapping out an organization’s financial goals. We assist with bringing all functions to the table in order to remove silos and gain a full picture of the total budget.

Labor Relations & Union Activity

The topic of labor relations is as important today as it was in the early 20th century, especially in the United States. Sound practices benefit company and employee alike, and our advisors have decades-long related experience and are keen to craft productive relationship arrangements.

Risk Mitigation & Compliance

Labor Relations & Union Activity

Business risk comes in all shapes and forms, and many companies are entirely unaware of some of those risks until it’s too late. Our advisors support a profitable business perspective in evaluating risk and in establishing key mitigators to help companies reduce risk and remain out of trouble.

deployment

Board of Directors or Observers

Either formally or informally, our Senior Advisors augment current board participants, providing needed counsel and guidance to help monitor, assess and influence strategic direction and mitigate risk.

Example: Robinhill Senior Advisor retained to participate on the board for three quarters while company addresses a significant issue for which our SA had deep expertise.

Interim Leadership

Board of Directors or Observers

The Robinhill Senior Advisors have the industry and functional expertise and leadership acumen to efficiently and effectively replace, support, or augment gaps in the executive and management ranks.

Example: Robinhill Senior Advisor retained as a full-time interim leader for three months, following a resignation and prior to new full-time hire.

Retained Steering Support

Board of Directors or Observers

Companies don’t always have sufficient expertise to guide new strategic initiatives. Our Senior Advisors accelerate results and mitigate execution risk for company strategies and initiatives.

Example: Robinhill Senior Advisor retained for weekly two-hour steering meetings of a key initiative, helping to avoid consequential missteps and see the effort to a successful conclusion.

Strategic Workshop Expertise

When companies refine strategic direction, Robinhill Senior Advisors leverage career-long expertise to serve as active unbiased external participants to help ensure the right path forward.

Example: Robinhill Senior Advisor retained for a two-day offsite session, bringing unique insight and elevated thinking for a better plan.

Initiative Facilitation

Strategic Workshop Expertise

Initiative Facilitation

When companies haven’t the bandwidth nor the expertise to lead a specific initiative, our Senior Advisors parachute in to provide the necessary leadership or facilitation to achieve desired outcomes.

Example: Robinhill Senior Advisor retained 12-hours per week to mentor a less-experienced initiative leader, simultaneously improving immediate results and enabling future efforts.

Executive Advisory

Strategic Workshop Expertise

Initiative Facilitation

Our Senior Advisors have spent their entire careers working across a broad range of industries, companies, management teams and situations, and bring that experience and expertise to our clients.

Example: Robinhill Senior Advisor retained for four weeks to help evaluate and plan a new business model in a new geography, resulting in an efficient and effective launch.

VALUE PROPOSition

Robinhill Senior Advisory Group uniquely addresses important needs of our clients, providing the best of the two traditional models of the “single shingle” and the “consulting team.”

While consulting firms can deploy capable people quickly, their senior partners may be absent and their leveraged team model and standardized methodologies often require significant time – both in duration and distraction – resulting in impressive yet very expensive PowerPoint presentations that in the end, are often simply shelved.

On the other hand, the traditional single-shingle model, the “I know a guy” or “ask around” approach, is typically hit-or-miss at best. It takes time to find and engage the right person, and while the initial cost is typically more affordable, the results can be all over the board, often resulting in expensive missteps or under-whelming results.

Robinhill provides the best of both worlds – the pedigrees and expertise of consulting firms, and the efficiency and effectiveness of the right single-shingle. Our practical model of senior advisor focused engagement helps us efficiently and materially improve outcomes. In fact, we expect to deliver results valued at some 2-5x our professional service fees, and we’re happy to engage on a performance-based approach.

Let's Connect

Many of our Senior Advisors have 30+ years experience working alongside public and private companies who in turn have trusted our thought leadership, sage guidance, and unrivaled support.
