How We Support You
100 Day Plan
The Teneo 100-day plan approach is a simple framework and governance structure which prioritises the key actions required to maximise value at pace from Day 1 and ensures that there is an effective value creation roadmap with key stakeholder buy-in.
Cash Flow Management
We support corporates across a broad range of situations, whether it’s the development and implementation of cash flow forecasting tools or short-term liquidity challenges. Our team can help drive cultural change across the business, using a proven approach to deliver sustainable improvements and support timely and effective decision making.
Working Capital Optimisation
Working capital is often an under-utilised funding source. We take a holistic approach to optimise working capital by improving visibility of the working capital cycles and embedding a cash culture across all operational functions.
Cost Reduction and Operating Model Optimisation
We work with clients to improve overall operational efficiency considering end-to-end processes and value drivers to optimise the cost base. Our work will often include operating model evaluation and simplification in order to unlock sustainable benefits and improve operational performance.
Maximise Exit Value
We help clients to optimise exit value through identification, development and delivery of high-impact initiatives, taking a Buyers ‘mind set’ approach, and the provision of end-to-end support for management teams throughout the process.
Course Correction
Businesses and the markets in which they operate are dynamic and complex. We work with executive management teams to provide insight into the root cause of underperformance and create and deliver bespoke programmes to get businesses back on track.
CRO and Interim Management
Senior-led dedicated executive support to deliver mission-critical workstreams and address key business challenges at pace.
Turnaround Plan
Recognising the problem early and taking a proactive approach is essential in retaining control in stressed/distressed situations and driving the best outcome. Overlaying and navigating the perspectives of key stakeholders is critical.
Execute the Turnaround
We focus on three key execution principles: i) intelligent project management; ii) hands-on support and implementation; and iii) active stakeholder engagement to ensure seamless delivery of the key actions required to successfully deliver a turnaround plan.
Capital Investment Performance
Our teams provide an objective view to help re-evaluate investment cases, identify drivers of underperformance and provide course correction actions to improve future returns. We help management embed operational and organisational change and improve decision making and delivery processes to improve returns on a sustainable basis.

Teneo Securities LLC’s Business Continuity Planning
Teneo Securities LLC has developed a Business Continuity Plan (“BCP”) on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions is unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our BCP.
The Firm has developed and installed a BCP in the case of any business disruption that causes the Firm to have limited or no communications with its employees or customers. Our plan anticipates two types of business disruptions, internal disruptions which affect only our Firm’s ability to do business (such as a fire in our building) and external disruptions that prevent the operation of securities markets or other firms (such as natural disasters or acts of war).
The Firm intends to stay in business during both internal and external disruptions due to the fact that the Firm employees can conduct Firm related business from alternate off-site physical locations and the Firm maintains an alternate location for the maintenance of its books and records. We anticipate that the Firm will recover from internal business disruptions within 24-48 hours. An outage due to an external business disruption may be longer and is beyond the control of the Firm. However, the Firm will endeavor to resume business as soon as it is possible for the Firm to establish business operations from alternate off-site physical locations.
The Firm’s BCP specifically addresses the following areas related to Firm operations:
- Data back-up and recovery (hard copy and electronic);
- All mission critical systems;
- Procedures to test and determine the Firm’s ability to do business (i.e., financial and operational assessments);
- Alternate communications between customers and the Firm;
- Alternate communications between the Firm and its employees;
- Alternate physical location of employees;
- Critical business constituent, bank, and counter-party impact;
- Regulatory reporting; and
- Communications with regulators.
