You’ve likely seen this before.

The charismatic new CEO steps into a legacy company. He promises bold moves. Announces a daring pivot. The media claps. Analysts cheer. And the share price bumps just enough to make everyone feel clever.

But then come the actual numbers.

That’s what happened here.

A global commodities giant, one of the best-run organizations in its sector, saw a 15-year supercycle forming. China’s insatiable demand. A new commodity group, still relatively untouched. Ten years of unrelenting volume growth. Four times the demand of their existing portfolio. Everyone at the table agreed it was the opportunity of a generation.

They moved fast. Structured a JV. Hired an operational wizard as CEO. Began building infrastructure before contracts were even finalized.

And then it all quietly unraveled.

They got the growth curve right. They got the supply model right. They even got the internal cost structure mostly right.

But they made one assumption that never should have survived the first executive workshop.

A single blind spot, small enough to miss in a boardroom, big enough to derail billions.

They lost capital. Years of momentum. Eventually, the division was offloaded in shame.

The markets punished them for it. Their board still speaks about it in hushed tones. And the worst part?

It was entirely avoidable.

We advised against the move. We showed them the flaw.

We recommended bringing in Big 4 firm to complete the final calculations. The CEO declined.

This program is a forensic breakdown of how a single overlooked decision point, one audit firms are uniquely positioned to lead, was ignored.

And why most consulting teams will never even see it.

What we reveal in this program changes how you build business cases. It reframes how you define value creation. And it will likely shift the way you see the role of audit firms...
 

Forever.

The insight we uncover is rarely spoken about. Because it's usually buried beneath pages of ratios and return models, passed around in late-night partner meetings, or discussed only after something has gone wrong.

You’ll see how a strategy that was flawless on paper unraveled in practice.

You’ll learn the critical point where good consulting becomes great value protection.

You’ll understand why Big 4 professionals, when equipped correctly, can outperform pure strategy firms on engagements that move markets.
