The Palmer Group - Approach

Approach The Palmer Group

The Palmer Group intends to maximize value over the long term by:

Fostering the development of a strong culture within an organization which values excellence and quality.
Providing a stimulating environment that encourages innovation and an entrepreneurial orientation.
Ensuring that managers establish corporate goals and strategy, financial controls, and operating performance measures which provide clear and reliable feedback on the firm’s progress.
Improving a firm’s performance by integrating and enhancing the quality of marketing, management, operations, information systems, and finance through the use of additional resources, as required, from The Palmer Group, The Wharton School, Philadelphia’s University Science Center, and other nearby institutions.
Enabling a firm to take advantage of attractive opportunities which require additional capital and ensuring the necessary supply of working capital to permit both optimal operating policies and the establishment of “most preferred” relationships with suppliers.
Structuring managerial and employee incentive systems that are aligned with the principles of excellence, customer satisfaction, and long-term value creation and development.
Taking advantage of our network of relationships in the Delaware Valley, the mid-Atlantic region, and other areas.
Focusing on firms in the post secondary and professional training industries that we believe have healthy outlooks for the foreseeable future.
Valuing selected firms fairly to ensure that the price reflects the probability of ultimately meeting the desired rate of return to the seller.
While some acquisitions may involve additions to the existing management firms, we hope that current managers will remain in place to develop and participate in our long-term, growth-oriented strategy.
