Pre-deal insight on a higher education group.
The context
Five Arrows Principal Investments is considering an investment in a higher education group.
The brief
Inform the decision through expert interviews.
What we did
Some fifteen interviews across the target’s two segments — school heads, academic directors, recruiters from the industry — written up not interview by interview but by key success factor: the market’s real attractiveness, the programmes of the future, format and academic architecture, ties with industry, and what recruiters actually look at on a CV.
The impact
An independent reading of the market for the deal team, organised by investment question rather than by source.
ESG strategy in four months: interviews, double materiality, actionable priorities.
The impact. A strategy the group applies, not a report.
Digital strategy and an app prototype to open up primary care.
The impact. A digital department created straight afterwards.
An executive committee offsite that ends with a plan and a horizon.
The impact. A shared plan, and a team that worked together.
