Custom Solutions
Overview

Custom Solutions

There is a decision on the table. Get experienced heads around it.

A succession you have been circling for two years. An acquisition that has to be right first time, or an AI question your board keeps raising that nobody in the business owns. Custom Solutions puts senior practitioners in a room with your team and works the decision itself, while it is still open.
A working session on the decision in front of you

Custom Programmes build your people over months. Custom Solutions is narrower and faster: one live business question, worked through with people who have answered that question before in companies of their own.

You bring the decision, the numbers, and whoever has to live with the outcome. We bring practitioners who have run businesses, closed deals and led transformations, and a structure that gets a room full of opinions to a position your leadership team will stand behind.

The output is not a report. It is a decision your team owns, with the reasoning written down behind it.

How Custom Programmes Work?
Right when

THE QUESTION IS REAL AND DATED

Something has to be decided this quarter, and you are well past the point of exploring it.

YOUR TEAM IS TOO CLOSE TO IT

Everyone in the room has a position on it and a history with it, which is why the conversation keeps arriving at the same place no matter who opens it.

YOU WANT TO BE ARGUED WITH

You want people who will push back, and who have the standing to make it land.

YOU WANT TO KEEP THE THINKING

When the work is done by outsiders, the reasoning tends to leave with them. Here your own team does it, so the thinking stays in the business.

How it works

We scope the question

One conversation to establish what is being decided and who needs to be in the room. Half an hour is usually enough to tell whether this is the right format at all.

We assemble the right people

Practitioners chosen for the question in front of you. Sector matters, so does the kind of transaction, and so does the ownership situation you are working inside.

We work it

One to three days, on our Bled campus or at your offices, working from your own material and your own numbers. The sessions are structured, and your thinking gets pressure-tested by people who have been on the other side of the same decision.

You leave with a position

You leave with it written down — the decision, the reasoning behind it, what you ruled out and why, and what has to happen next.

What we work on

Some of what companies bring us. The list is nowhere near exhaustive; if it is the question occupying your leadership team, it is in scope./p>

OWNERSHIP AND SUCCESSION

Handing over a founder-led business, family transitions, and getting a company ready for outside capital.

GROWTH AND TRANSACTIONS

Acquisitions and market entry, and what to do when a business has outgrown the structures it was built with.

TRANSFORMATION AND AI

Where AI changes your business and where it does not, and what is worth doing first.

STRATEGY UNDER PRESSURE

A market that has moved, a competitor doing something you did not plan for, or a strategy that has quietly stopped working.

Who is in the room

Custom Solutions runs on IEDC’s Senior Practitioner Faculty — people with credentials from both worlds, leading institutions and leading businesses. They have sat in your chair. And they know this region: your markets, your ownership structures, your talent realities.
