Welcome to the ValueStep

Moving organisations

to the next level

We are a specialist advisory company working to help organisations achieve the next Value Step.

In the private sector, the Value Step is a critical increase in shareholder value which may result from winning a major contract; implementing a succession plan; securing investment funding or completing a sale or acquisition. It is also a Value Step when shareholder value is recovered with a successful turnaround.

 

In the public sector the Value Step may occur when a programme or Mission secures cross-party alignment with broad societal support; agrees a long-term, financed plan; and/or establishes its organisation and governance structure.

Public Sector Advisory

The concept of the ValueStep applies in the Public Services, where the critical priorities for a policy or programme, have as much currency as in the private sector. We provide senior-level advisory, typically introduced below the competition threshold then procured as sub-consultant.

 

We have advised the European Investment Bank on a multi-billion Euro investment programme into a Balkan member state; we were part of a specialist research team which analysed the Small Modular Reactor nuclear programme; we are working on the implementation of Missions (in particular Secure Energy) and have contributed to an APPG  submission on programme delivery

Commercial


Commercially, we are neither typical £/day consultants nor a traditional private equity house. We offer two approaches: (i) advisory services on a success-based leveraged fee, or (ii) full investment partnership. On each of these, our approach is similar. We put our own skin in the game and take a real share of risk and reward to align ourselves with our client’s successful outcome.
