100 day plan
This is a joint planning effort between Mercia, the management team and board members to agree to and align on a strategy to grow the business. It is an opportunity for all parties to gain clarity over any concerns raised by the Fund, key shareholders and/or management.
The 100 day plan is essential as it lays out the foundation and actions needed to implement a value creation plan, feedback loop from customers and establish the right approach to create a stable revenue stream for the business.
