• Transforming an EnergyTech Scale-Up from Operational Loss to Sustainable, Scalable Growth in 24 Months

    Overview

    A high-growth EnergyTech scale-up was experiencing persistent operating losses despite strong market demand, advanced technology, and international expansion potential. Fragmented operations, unclear accountability, revenue leakage, and inefficient resource allocation were preventing the business from protecting or growing EBITDA.

    Using my Operating-Model Acceleration Framework™ and proprietary ValueLift™ Enterprise Performance Model, I designed and led a 24-month enterprise transformation that rebuilt the operating model, stabilised financial risk, aligned culture and teams, and created a clear pathway to EBITDA-positive, scalable growth.

    The Challenge

    • Fragmented operations with no unified model, Product function, or compliance oversight

    • Revenue leakage and stalled commercial growth, including “abandoned revenue” and unrealised upsell opportunities

    • Limited governance, forecasting, and reporting, creating financial and regulatory risk

    • Siloed teams, misaligned leadership, and inefficient decision-making

    The Approach

    1. Value Intelligence Layer™ (Months 1–3)

    • Diagnosed enterprise-wide operational and commercial gaps

    • Mapped 40% of potential revenue trapped in cross-functional gaps

    • Identified 25% of delivery work untracked, creating audit and financial risk

    2. Strategic Operating Model Redesign™ (Months 4–12)

    • Created two focused business units and a new Product function

    • Introduced Compliance & Audit, cross-functional operating cadence, and clear accountability frameworks

    • Rebuilt vision, mission, values, and culture using ValueLift™ principles

    3. Intelligent Systems & Automation Integration™ (Months 10–18)

    • Deployed work-tracking, utilisation tools, automated reporting, and executive dashboards

    • Built a scalable operational backbone capable of supporting growth without proportional headcount increases

    4. Growth Activation Engine™ (Months 16–24)

    • Repaired Sales–Tech handoffs, activated dormant accounts, and standardised pricing and delivery

    • Expanded into Japan, Canada, and North America while establishing the UK as a global centre of excellence

    • Aligned leadership on metrics, cadence, and performance culture using ValueLift™

    Transformation Highlights (Metrics-Focused)

    • Recovered 40% of trapped revenue by capturing previously abandoned opportunities

    • Increased delivery visibility by 25% through structured tracking and operational dashboards

    • Reduced operating inefficiencies by 15–20% via workflow standardisation and role realignment

    • Established a scalable global operating model across UK, Japan, Canada, and North America with Product, Compliance, and cross-functional alignment

    Outcome

    Over 24 months, the organisation moved from financial instability and operational chaos → to a structured, accountable, scalable business with a clear pathway to EBITDA positivity, profitable growth, and international expansion.

    The ValueLift™ Enterprise Performance Model ensured that operational improvements translated into measurable enterprise value while aligning culture, breaking silos, and elevating brand identity.
