The right expertise at every stage of an investment or sale.
An investment can look compelling on paper, but you need to be sure that the organisation behind it can deliver. Equally, if you’re preparing for sale, you want to feel confident in management team strength and readiness.
Leadership capability, critical talent, culture, employment risks, workplace compliance and organisational structure can all influence how effectively a portfolio company executes its strategy.
Omny Group gives investment teams access to experienced specialists who can help identify issues early, provide an independent perspective and support management teams in putting solutions into practice.
Organisational & Management Due Diligence
Assess the alignment between the business plan, the underlying organisational structure and the talent expected to deliver through organisational and management due diligence.
Fractional HR Support
Gain access to the full spectrum of HR skill and capability on a fractional basis to help hone your people plan, accelerate professionalisation and support growth.
HR Diagnostic and People Plan Execution
Find out what your people priorities need to be to move the value dial, and partner with us to define and deliver your annual people plan – allowing us to become an extension of your senior team and help drive value creation through improving people and organisational performance.
Legal
Get clear, trusted advice when an investment, transaction or people issue carries legal risk. Our team of experienced lawyers can support you through every legal aspect of starting, growing, acquiring or selling a business – and the difficult moments in between.
Health & Safety
Understand whether current arrangements are compliant and fit for the business. Our safety team carries out assessments and audits, addresses critical priorities, supports fire safety and provides ongoing advice and training when you need it.
Employee Benefits
Help your portfolio companies attract and retain the talent they need while making sure reward initiatives are commercially aligned. We advise on pensions, salary exchange, private medical insurance, life assurance, wellbeing and wider benefits strategies.
Pinpoint potential issues early
Our specialists provide insight into areas that aren’t always apparent through traditional financial or commercial analysis. This can include anything from crucial leadership capability issues and toxic organisational cultures to employment and workplace risks.
Turn findings into action to remove growth blockers
Identifying a gap or early issue is only the beginning. We then work with your portfolio company leadership to address priorities, strengthen capability and implement practical improvements to remove those barriers to success.
Enable businesses to evolve with their ambitions
As ambitious companies grow, the structures, leadership and ways of working that once served them well will likely need to adapt. Our culture & people strategy specialists support leadership effectiveness, organisational design, change management and wider people strategy to ensure your setup is constantly improving the way it needs to.
