Strategic counsel and executive delivery in a single mandate
Each practice combines strategic advice to the Board and executive team with hands-on leadership, scoped to a defined outcome and timeline.
Turnaround and restructuring
When performance is under pressure, costs have drifted, or a business must be separated, sold or exited.
What ARTIUS does
- Diagnostic of costs, trends and performance, including a full cost baseline
- Optimisation of people, processes and assets
- Budget reforecasting and financial reporting against plan
- Divestitures, separations, acquisitions and exits
- Transition planning, stakeholder management and governance
Typical outcome
A 40% OPEX reduction within six months for a global biotech organisation, and the separation of a $1B business with 95% client retention.
Go-to-market
When a new venture, service or business line has to move from vision to funded, staffed and launched, at the pace its investors expect.
What ARTIUS does
- Vision to strategy, business model and financial projections
- Business case and pitch materials for Board and investor funding
- Operational stand-up: workflow, governance, facilities and digital infrastructure
- Team design: skills assessment, compensation, recruitment and onboarding
- MVP launch: customer journeys, acquisition plan and data structure
Typical outcome
100% of requested Board funding secured for a private health services venture, taken to market in ten months.
Digital transformation
When a system implementation or transformation programme has stalled, slipped or lost the confidence of its sponsors.
What ARTIUS does
- Diagnostic of the roadmap, solution and business case, with a go, no-go or adapt recommendation
- Competitive vendor selection and contract terms
- Vendor performance management and post-go-live governance
- Change management: readiness, communications and adoption
- Stabilisation after go-live
Typical outcome
Four business lines unified onto one operational and financial platform in eight months, with 3,000 users onboarded in eight weeks.
Interim leadership and advisory
When a leadership seat is empty, a team is in transition, or a critical mandate cannot afford to lose momentum.
What ARTIUS does
- Interim COO, General Manager or Chief Restructuring Officer, for a defined term
- Advice and tactical support to leadership teams through transition
- Continuity of operations and decision-making through periods of change
- Momentum on critical mandates while permanent leadership is appointed
- Independent counsel to Boards on investment, governance and critical decisions
Typical outcome
Operational continuity through an unexpected executive transition, with Board-mandated objectives kept on course.
