How we create value
One definition of insanity has been penned as “doing the same things again and again and expecting a different outcome!”
Explanatory
Too often in business, the same approaches, solutions and advisors are trotted out again and again. If this is your outlook and preference – then Paradigm are not for you! Our fundamental pursuit lies in identifying and understanding the underlying drivers of value within a business and seeking to bring about changes that will have a dramatic impact on a business’ growth and valuation. Doing so will often draw upon much of the experience and expertise garnered by Paradigm’s people in areas such as:
- Customer, product, pricing and channel strategy
- Market entry and consolidation
- Portfolio management for revenue growth
- Strategic performance measurement and management
- Re-organisation and restructuring
- Process review and design
- Cash-flow and financial management disciplines
If we do not believe there is scope for significant value to be generated through Paradigm’s involvement – and cash is the only requirement – then we will not invest! When we can identify and envisage a value-enhancing paradigm shift for a business, then we are eager to become involved and work with the management team to bring about the shift and realise the value!
“When we spoke with Paradigm, it was clear they were not just about pumping money into our business, rather they were keen to make a direct, active contribution to our business! Our experience to date is that their involvement has been more impactful than their cash.”
“At first we were keen to secure funding, and our only consideration was the cost of the money. However, when we spoke with Paradigm, it became clear that they could contribute much more than money alone, which changed our whole perspective and outlook. It was no longer the cost of money that was important, but the impact on the value of our business!”
