The Challenge

What the buyer walked into.

On an 18-month TSA, the exit milestone had slipped four months past the original sponsor investment-committee date. Workstreams were stalled, the seller's cadence had gone quiet, and every month of slip carried extension-fee exposure plus a delayed value-creation story for the next IC meeting.

The Approach

How the firm ran it.

The firm ran a 12-week exit acceleration program. We rebuilt the stalled workstreams, reset the seller cadence with a tighter steering rhythm, and sequenced the remaining cutover decisions to the critical path. Extension-fee exposure was modeled weekly so the program could be prioritized against the cost of slipping.

The Outcome

Where it landed.

The exit landed on the original IC date with no extension fees paid. The sponsor walked into the IC meeting with the TSA closed out on schedule rather than as an open risk item.
