REQUEST AN EXECUTIVE CONVERSATION

A confidential executive conversation establishes the manufacturing decision being considered, the operational uncertainty surrounding it, and the consequences of proceeding without independent verification.

This is not a sales presentation. It is a direct discussion to determine whether Executive Operational Verification™ is appropriate for the situation.

An executive conversation is appropriate when:

• A manufacturing turnaround is not producing expected results 
• An acquisition or post-acquisition plan depends on unverified operating assumptions 
• Additional capital is being considered 
• A lender or board requires an independent operational view 
• Capacity, quality, workforce, or leadership conditions remain uncertain 
• Financial projections depend on performance the operation has not demonstrated 
• The consequences of proceeding without verification are material 

The conversation should begin before the decision becomes difficult or expensive to reverse.

The initial conversation will address:

• The decision leadership is considering 
• The operating conditions surrounding it 
• The assumptions on which the decision depends 
• The financial and strategic consequences of being wrong 
• The individuals responsible for the decision 
• The timing and urgency involved 
• Whether independent operational verification is appropriate 

No detailed company data is required before the conversation. The objective is to establish the decision context and determine the proper next step.

All information shared with May & Company Operational Decisioneering is treated as confidential and used only to understand the decision context and determine whether an engagement is appropriate.

Do not submit proprietary documents, financial records, customer information, employee information, or other sensitive materials through the initial inquiry form.

If the conversation proceeds, appropriate confidentiality arrangements will be established before detailed company information is exchanged.

May & Company will review the decision context provided and respond to arrange an initial executive conversation when the situation appears aligned with the firm’s work.

The initial conversation will determine whether independent operational verification is appropriate, who should participate, and what next step—if any—is warranted.

Submitting the form does not create an advisory relationship or authorize the exchange of confidential information.
