TCC’s ideal client has tough problems to solve and important decisions to make; complexity and ambiguity may be in abundance.  A TCC client might be looking to

*  Understand the long term implications of potential responses to near term economic issues

*  Increase near term profitability and cash flow by turning around an underperforming business unit

*  Restructure and reposition for both near and long term success

*  Create or optimize a supply chain, including the identification and evaluation of suppliers and the structuring of supply agreements

*  Understand new markets and the future of existing markets

*  Identify and assess growth opportunities

*  Improve customer segmentation and retention, market position, cost to serve, and profitability

*  Optimize a development portfolio

*  Identify and value acquisition targets, find and structure partnerships, or conduct due diligence

*  Understand and predict future outcomes, conduct scenario planning and sensitivity analyses, and test strategies on a simulation rather than a live business

*  Develop pricing strategies and novel deal structures based on offering value, customer value, cost to serve, competitive intensity, and other factors

*  Evaluate capital structure and financing alternatives

*  Develop a vision of the future and define a plan to get there, complete with path markers and milestones

A TCC client might be a privately-funded start up or a publicly-traded multinational, a US-based firm or a firm that is headquartered outside the US, a biopharmaceutical developer or a heavy industrial concern.  The common denominators are that TCC’s clients have important decisions to make and that they appreciate great advice backed by solid analysis.

Because clients, problems, and decisions are unique, TCC tailors its approach to satisfy the decision making needs and circumstances of each client:

*  For clients who need to make decisions now or desire an objective sounding board, TCC offers Immediate Impact Workshops, due diligence support, and other customized services

*  For clients who need to find clarity and make decisions amid complexity and ambiguity, TCC’s simulation-enabled strategy and valuation services, encompassing Actionable Strategies, Market Understanding, Objective Valuations, and Business Simulations, may be appropriate

*  For clients who need execution support to implement decisions, TCC offers due diligence, valuation, synergy definition, and retained Corporate Development services
