Establish the economic fact base
Review operating performance, customer and channel economics, capacity, working capital, and the management information used to make decisions.
The short answer
Pursuing Excellence helps CEOs, founders, and private equity teams turn a business ambition into a practical value creation plan. We connect strategic choices to operating economics, capital priorities, leadership capacity, and the work required to deliver measurable improvement.
When this
becomes a priority.
A growth target is a starting point. The harder questions sit underneath it: which customers and capabilities create value, where margin and cash are lost, what the operation can support, and which investments deserve priority. Warren works with leadership to make those choices explicit and carry them into execution.
- Growth is increasing complexity faster than profit.
- The investment thesis has not become an owned operating plan.
- Capital, technology, and people priorities compete for the same resources.
- Leadership has several initiatives but no shared definition of value.

Questions leaders ask
Before you
make the call.
What does a value creation consultant do?
A value creation consultant connects strategic priorities to improvements in earnings, cash, growth, service, or risk. PX defines the opportunity, tests the assumptions, builds the delivery plan, and can lead implementation alongside the team.
How is the value creation plan measured?
The engagement begins with agreed baselines, targets, timing, and owners. Financial outcomes are reviewed with the business to separate realized improvements from forecasts, activity measures, and benefits that may overlap.
Can this support a private equity portfolio company?
Yes. The scope can connect a sponsor’s operational investment thesis to management priorities, integration work, leadership capacity, capital decisions, and board reporting. The mandate is tailored to the company and the stage of ownership.
