Capabilities
Our customized approach ensures that our clients achieve a sustainable competitive advantage, build more capable organizations, and secure lasting results.
Strategy
Hamford Global Advisors helps companies develop and refine their corporate strategy by assessing their business units, other holdings and the resources allocated to each. We conduct comprehensive analyses to determine how to bolster high performers, place underperforming companies on a new trajectory for success, and identify operations that are at odds with the overall company vision.
Mergers & Acquisitions
Despite research showing that most mergers and acquisitions (M&A) fail to create value for the acquirer’s shareholders, they remain an important part of any company’s long-term value-creation strategy. The benefits of a well-thought-out M&A strategy can be a source of competitive advantage—especially in turbulent times.
Due Diligence
Buying a business is a calculated risk. What may seem attractive from the outside may look entirely different once an investor takes full control. That’s why due diligence is such an important step in the M&A process. Done right, it helps investors minimize risk and gives them confidence that they can actually create justifiable value through the acquisition and provide an appropriate return on capital.
Shareholder Value Management
Hamford Global Advisors value creation methodology explicitly links management strategies to the wealth that they generate for shareholders. HGA is an expert in developing the management tools that senior executives require to enhance value at all organizational levels and to ensure that management actions are consistent with long-term value creation.
Operations
Today’s fiercely competitive global economy raises the stakes in virtually every industry. To succeed, companies must cut fat and become lean, move faster, and grow more efficient. They must reinforce their core capabilities, find fresh sources of differentiation, and develop the capacity for ongoing change.
Sales & Marketing
Marketing and sales functions are on the “front line,” playing a critical role in driving revenues, retaining customers, and achieving overall company objectives. To help our clients gain competitive advantage, we use rigorous analysis and a deep understanding of organizational processes to unlock the full potential of our client’s marketing and sales resources.
Global Risk Assessment Services
Today’s organizations face significant risks posed by customer attrition, increased reliance on third parties, technological disruption, natural disasters, terrorism, scandals, social media, and expanded regulations. You must ensure that the right plans, processes, and procedures are in place to remain successful and overcome adverse events.
