ABOUT

Helping businesses and governments reinvent themselves

Transformation isn’t done just because it’s fun, or trendy, or because it’s what others do.  We do it because it makes business sense.  Focused on the ‘why’ and obsessed with the ‘how’—transformative programs with Bridge Atlantic follow an actionable, value-driven delivery model, focused on quantifiable business impact.

MERGERS & ACQUISITIONS

Towards faster, plug-and-play, repeatable M&A

As most organizations driven by external growth would acknowledge, mergers and acquisitions require significant effort and attention—and across many dimensions. From assessing the specificities of a single target to determining the impact of a broader ecosystem, defining the right path through the lifecycle of a transaction often relies on a diverse set of specialized skills working in an integrated fashion.

SECTORS

Products

Welcome to the post-pandemic era.  Today’s consumer is digital, environmentally conscious, and evermore informed.  As a result, most Products industries must balance a set of imperatives that often include sustainability, post-digitalization reinvention, renewed market differentiation, customer personalization, data assetization, and ecosystem transformation.

Industrials

As external events continue to transform the competitive landscape and introduce increased pricing and profitability pressure, many Industrial manufacturers prioritize efforts towards market penetration, servitization, and building a resilient digital supply chain that enables their multi-unit organizations to interact with customers as one while helping reduce operating costs.

Life Sciences

The sector faces a range of disruptions forcing a realignment of priorities, from customer centricity and brand recognition in medtech to patient identification in rare diseases.  It also sees a consolidation across the ecosystem of manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and insurers, a growing need for direct-to-consumer strategies, as well as a need to address the increasing control patients are gaining over their healthcare.

Public Sector

The ever-evolving nature of society makes operations for public authorities challenging.  Different segments of the population need to be serviced equitably despite disparities across expectations and access to digital means.  This arguably impacts all Public Sector industries, from government services to education to tolling, and constrains decisions, whether they relate to the transition to the cloud or modernization investments.

DIFFERENTIATORS

An M&A Launchpad

Our Mergers and Acquisitions practice helps companies we partner with develop a tailored playbook for repeatable, accelerated acquisition integrations as well as carveout executions, and deliver on their end-to-end portfolio strategy.

Agile to the Core

More and more businesses are adopting Agile methodologies. Agile can help build a culture of continuous improvement and organizational resilience to outpace constantly changing, complex landscapes and decrease time to market.

Mine the Process

Operational excellence and continuous improvement require the ability to drill into functions, derive patterns from historical data, and identify optimization and/or remediation opportunities.  This is what process mining enables.

WORKING CAPITAL OPTIMIZATION
Supply planning isn't about bells and whistles. It's about optimizing inventory without compromising sales growth.

INNOVATION IN PRODUCTS

Process reinvention across the products ecosystem

The products ecosystem has changed—and for multiple reasons: the pandemic, newer generations of consumers with their own priorities and expectations, brand recognition that goes beyond the goods themselves, geopolitical uncertainty that drive supply instability, and costs that have been rising across both raw materials and marketing services.  Challenges, however, often mean new opportunities.  Let’s identify those value cases and deliver hard financial return across all types of players in the industry.

TRANSFORMATION ACROSS LIFE SCIENCES

Core Pharma

Pharma has been particularly active.  From the number of acquisitions completed within each of the verticals over the recent years to the horizontal consolidation seen across those same verticals, the industry is now having to reinvent itself towards its own retailization and the drive to go direct to consumers.

Biotech

Biotech companies face challenges in an industry that continues to see disruption.  Emerging players focus on the fast transition to scaled commercialization, while established ones target the early identification of opportunities and their rapid integration into a coherent synergy-driven portfolio.

Medtech

Faster time to market, de-risking early-stage patient technologies, brand positioning in an environment that increasingly sees decisions involve patients, and navigating the complexity associated with a multi-player healthcare ecosystem are some of the imperatives that remain front and center in medtech.
