Alignment for IPO Preparedness

​​​​

The IPO process doesn’t start with bankers  -  it starts with internal readiness.
Your story, systems, and leadership must be airtight long before the roadshow.

We help companies prepare the inside of the business for IPO pressure  -  so your team, structure, and execution match the story the market sees.

​

When this becomes critical

This offering is designed for companies that are:

→ 12–24 months away from a public listing
→ Scaling fast under investor scrutiny
→ Struggling to maintain clarity across functions, teams, and leadership
→ Preparing for analyst and board-level visibility
→ Navigating complex leadership changes, product bets, or expansion plans

​

The problems we solve

→ Internal execution lagging behind external narrative
→ No consistent operating rhythm or reporting structure
→ Leadership team not fully aligned on roles, metrics, or priorities
→ Tensions or ambiguity hidden under surface performance

​

What we do

We help you tighten the internal machine before your IPO window opens.

→ Align the leadership team on strategic bets and accountability
→ Redesign org structure and operating rhythm to match IPO-readiness
→ Build habits for cross-functional planning, execution, and reporting
→ Identify and address hidden misalignments that create risk under scrutiny

​

How we work

Phase 1: Diagnose (4 -  6 weeks) 

Work closely with C-suite and board observers
→ Identify weak links across decision-making, reporting, and cohesion

​

Phase 2: Align and Operationalise (8–12 weeks) 

Build a leadership alignment map, operating rhythm, and metrics view
→ Design org structure and role clarity for pre- and post-IPO phases

​

Phase 3: Embed and Sustain (6 - 8 months: Build - Operate  - Transfer) 

We help you embed the management systems that withstand public scrutiny.

​

Leadership Operating Rhythm
→ Planning, review, and communication cadence that runs at public speed
Org + Role Structure for Execution
→ Clarity and accountability across C-suite, VPs, and next layer  -  designed for scale
Cross-Functional Reporting + Ownership
→ A single view of progress across silos  -  aligned to board and market expectations

​​

Why this matters

The public market doesn’t reward potential  -  it rewards repeatability.

​

Without alignment:

→ Execution lags behind ambition
→ Investors sense internal fragility
→ Teams burn out before the listing
→ C-suite turnover threatens the story

​

Don’t just prepare the pitch. Prepare the company.
