—— SPECIAL SITUATIONS ADVISORY
Introduction
You face a high stakes event; perhaps in pursuit of a big opportunity that must succeed, perhaps facing externality that forces you to respond.
A serious challenge that is complex, high stakes in the face of uncertainty or unfamiliarity. You can’t solve it within a single professional discipline. 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 occupy the space in between and we get you to where you want to be.
Your organization finds itself in uncharted waters and must navigate it successfully.
We are essential in non-standard situations and special projects. This requires a fundamentally different approach. Getting it wrong is expensive. Getting it right takes knowing how to get there.
—— WHAT NON-STANDARD MEANS
"Indispensible for businesses with physical operations"
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 THAT TAKES
Non-standard situations require a particular skillset.
Here is what enables us to come up with a superior course of action in unfamiliar terrain and be able to talk deeply to business leaders, authorities and domain experts:
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 can discuss a wide range of subjects in depth with business owners, authorities and 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.
Equipped for non-standard
We know where to go in novel or unfamiliar terrain, even when what “done” looks like yet.
This is the paradox of special situations. They have unique properties that require a fundamentally different approach. There there is no accurate playbook or standard solution as the path reveals itself by engaging the situation.
We possess a highly sought after skillset that these business contexts take. Read more on this in “About us”.
