Strategy, leadership & execution for Day One high performance
Reducing operational risk, accelerating speed to growth, and providing reliable insights that allow smart adjustments throughout the holding period.
Morg&Co helps executive teams to develop insights into their Company's organisation and its talent and prepares them for the stretch of their future challenges. The process reduces organisation and managerial risks caused by rapid expansion and, through insightful collaborative planning, translates them into operating advantages that help the Company reach its growth curve faster.
Starting with the growth plans and analysing the condition of the organisation, we help identify the main sources of risk and then transform the realities of anticipated high-pressure growth into concrete operational and leadership challenges.
Using shared insights into the organisation and its people, we work with each leader and the team to develop a roadmap of how to achieve the goals with a strong focus on developing the Company in a sustainable way.
With a focus on execution, we help executives consider and manage their own temperaments, skills and experience to work with their team and execute with resilient pragmatism in demanding operating environments.

The current private equity environment demands operational excellence and managerial precision like never before
PE firms that go deeper and broader with management and operational improvements in their portfolio are likely to achieve superior overall returns – and faster.
Changes in the interest burden are super-charging the need for management to be precise about priorities, risks, and activities that create cash and pay down debt without choking growth or profitability.
Greater pressure increases chances of failure in leaders who are unadapted to pressurized PE environments and are not used to managing sustainable growth and change at speed.
Leadership remains the number one differentiator going into a tougher PE environment, and many portfolio companies may find their top teams need help to successfully navigate tougher environments.
