Value Creation
Nicolet Capital recognizes the extensive operational and industry expertise of the company's existing management team. We appreciate that this knowledge is very specific to the particular needs of each business and do not attempt to run the companies in which we invest. However, our prior experience with challenges common to many businesses allows us to play an active, but practical, role in the value-creation process. Nicolet Capital's involvement will reflect and be appropriate for the type of transaction and the extent of our ownership position. While the particular needs of each company are unique, below are examples of several areas where we have worked together with management to produce successful results in the past.
Identifying and Addressing Strategic Opportunities
- Examples include assessing pricing strategies, new customer acquisition and retention, analysis of new potential markets, reviews of marketing efficacy and marketing program development.
Adjusting or Developing Incentive Compensation Plans
- Often critical to reinforce value-creation initiatives.
- Emphasis on direct value drivers, realistic goals and understandable rewards.
Improving Budget Process and Reporting Protocols
- Establishing additional operating metrics to reinforce value-creation initiatives.
