Where are the new opportunities to deliver and realise value?<\/h3>\n

\"EmergingIcebreaker are delighted to announce the launch of Get to Growth<\/a>, our revised solution to meet what we see as the key business challenges over the next few years<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Having re-examined our own proposition, some hard facts have become clearer to Icebreaker:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The turnaround market is no longer the right pond to fish in. more<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. The resourcing market is still dominated by solo solutions. more<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    “You cannot solve the problem with the same type of thinking that created the problem” – A.Einstein.<\/p>\n

    Or can you?<\/h3>\n

    Icebreaker Executive was founded in 2005 and, having navigated the economic storm, we have learnt a lot, delivering 10-100x cash return per assignment. But any businesses should focus their best resources on OPPORTUNITIES, not issues.And the opportunity that we have identified to deliver value lies in:<\/p>\n

    Realising Growth<\/strong> in a flat market and<\/strong> linking supply and demand to emerging markets<\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n

    Why?<\/h3>\n

    Emerging economies are a lethal blind spot<\/a> and<\/strong> the key differentiator between an unsaleable asset and a “shining star” is realising growth. Get to Growth leverages our established record<\/a> of creating “shining stars” regardless of whether the business scenario is turnaround, niche, steady state, profitable or fast growth. Our ability to move at speed is honed from turnaround situations. This provides a substantial differentiator and answers the “so what” with “because it has had to!”<\/p>\n

    Get to Growth focus formalises partnerships between our international growth capability and VC \/ other funding. Icebreaker’s leading team will still be positioned at the core of the solution as “the executive catalysts\u2122<\/sup>“. And our role will still be to identify excellence alongside the ability to deliver it and leave a legacy.<\/p>\n

    So depending on who you are, this is our targeted approach<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Lawyers, “good book banks” or corporate finance –<\/strong> we are actively looking for MBI and executive opportunities where we can add substantial profit<\/a>, build the business<\/a>, develop management<\/a> or realise a sale<\/a>. If you are aware of any company that meets our investment criteria<\/a>, or situational criteria<\/a> we would be delighted to hear from you.<\/li>\n
    2. Business owners looking to exit their businesses –<\/strong> if you are aware of any company that meets our investment criteria<\/a>, \u00a30.8m-\u00a330m we would be delighted to hear from you.<\/li>\n
    3. Venture capital \/ self-certified HNW investors –<\/strong> we search out executive opportunities where we can add substantial profit<\/a>, build the business<\/a>, develop management<\/a> or realise a sale<\/a>. We may have already met!<\/li>\n
    4. Corporates –<\/strong> if you are looking for expert support to execute a key project or have identified areas where we can add substantial profit<\/a>, build the business<\/a>, develop management<\/a> as ever we would be delighted to speak to you.<\/li>\n
    5. Distressed VCs, IPs and “distressed bankers” –<\/strong> we still relish the challenge and opportunity to turnaround failing or distressed businesses!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Icebreaker<\/strong> are unique in the way we move from analysis to certainty to action.
