—— SPECIAL SITUATIONS ADVISORY
Introduction
You face a challenge with much at stake stakes event, either pursuing a big opportunity that must succeed, or facing an externality, pressure from outside that forces you to respond.
This usually is a non-standard event that often presents unfamiliary and uncertainty. It is complex so it isn’t solved within a single professional category and because it’s non-standard, novel or an uncertain situation, existing solutions or playbooks fail.
Who do you call? Currently nobody. That’s because no single professional category owns this kind of situation or project. Rosemont does: we operate in between. In these situations we know how to get you where you want to be.
Your organization finds itself in uncharted waters and must navigate it successfully.
—— DEFINITION
"We are an indispensible partner for businesses with physical operations"
We work with Factories, Fabs and Labs
We work for enterprises that have physical operations, relying heavily on tanglible assets are inextricably connected to the physical reality, the environment and its constraints.
Definition of Special Situations
A special situation is a non-standard event with a potential to alter a company’s future trajectory, and materially impact its value. This may be positive (a major business opportinity or investment) and negative (conflict, drift, distress).
In either case the map or playbook is absent and standard solutions fail. Similar nature, though voluntary, the same goes for special projects.
—— WHERE WE ARE NEEDED
Overview with examples of special situations and projects
01
Pressure from regulations, inspections or government
Inspections flagging violations, trouble meeting tightening regulations and standards or deterioritating government relations can cause serious disruption, delays, penalties or worse: shutdowns.
02
Teams unable to make progress.
Teams tasked with breakthrough innovation or a critical operational challenge — locked under pressure, struggling to move forward despite effort and resource.
03
Investing in capital assets and technology
Significant capital committed: new production capacity, facility upgrades and technology acquisition. Stakeholder expectations must be maintained under pressure.
04
Site closure and transfer of capital assets
Divesting physical assets or closing down a facility involves negotation, risk transfer and a large number of stakeholders that need to be in on your way out.
05
Disruption or crisis
An organisation experiencing disruption, struggling to function, over-reliant on a single resource, or unable to identify and address the underlying root cause.
06
External threats and hostile action
Pressure from a competitor or activist group systematically undermining your regulatory standing, or unintentional harm from external activity forcing a response.
If these examples resemble expected challenges or those you currently face, discuss them with us to get a read on your situation and we will show exactly how much there is to be understood about them.
—— WHAT IT TAKES
Highlighting why we are needed in this context
We built a stack that is uniquely suited to handle that these business contexts take, precisely because this type of situation isn’t owned by any single professional category (i.e. finance, law, engineering) alone. A few highlights:
Knowledge of Industry
We specifically know the physical reality the industrials of the “real sector” are in.
Industrial companies are asset heavy, have a sustantial environmental presence, their own particular stakeholders and technology, engineering and supply chains. This is our work environment. This lets us see the interests of the regulators, policy-makers and importantly, the priorities of the enterprise.
Providing the Glue
We are literate on a wide range of subjects and enabling in depth discussion with leaders, authorities and domain experts.
We have both the breadth; literate on a wide range of subjects, as well as the capacity navigate it and put it together. This allows us to translate deep expertise among them, and to the decision-makers into a viable path forward and craft an inventive solution.
Trained for non-standard
We know what to do and where to go in novel or unfamiliar terrain, often while “what done looks like” not being known yet .
This is the paradox of special situations. What exactly resolves the situation isn’t known in advance. They are unique in that they require a particular approach of “figuring it out”. There there is no accurate playbook or standard solution as the path reveals itself by engaging the situation.
That is what enables us to come up with a crafty solutions typically in unfamiliar terrain; cross-domain translation, strong on the human interactions being able to talk shop with business leaders, authorities and domain experts, and knowing what to do with it.
