Cash flow growth.
The Challenge
A successful brand in national distribution with strong vineyard relationships, Patz & Hall needed better alignment among business partners, and an ownership and business structure more supportive of growth opportunities.
The Solution
Scion Advisors collaborated with the CXO/ownership team to develop a strategic organization structure to support sustainable growth.
- Led comprehensive, strategic planning roadmap process, including qualitative/quantitative market research; rationalized product and channel strategy; and validated band positioning.
- Designed and deployed organization strategy; drove recruiting process; implemented performance management process.
- Designed Board of Directors strategy; drove recruiting process; implemented governance practices.
The entire Scion Advisors team has been an excellent resource in helping us organize around key planning, financial and personnel decisions. They are a great resource to anyone considering a detailed analysis, reorganization, or review of their family wine company. I can honestly say we would not be the success we are today without them.
