Sunlake relies on a proprietary approach to identifying company attributes and enacting value creation. We are passionate about leveraging technology, organization, and efficient access to information. Our approach is based in part on the following fundamental ideas.

​

I. People & Leadership

• Executive, senior, and middle management articulate and understand company strategy

• Leadership effectively communicates objectives and principles to subordinates

• The right people are in the right positions, with the right incentives

• Empowered personnel at all levels of organization

• Regular, reciprocal feedback and evaluation are key

​

II. Functional Enhancement

• Operational investments necessary to improve systems, processes, and infrastructure

• Enhancements lead to cost containment and/or recognized delivery of value to customers

• Outside perspective from Sunlake and industry experts increases exposure to new ideas and approaches

• Enhance corporate innovation practices to increase focus on the “long-term”

​

III. Cross-functional Communication

• Collaboration among company divisions in driving efficiency, controlling costs, and pursuing growth initiatives

• Systems, metrics and tools to facilitate communication, management reporting, and operational efficiency

• Motivated cooperation with meaningful incentives

• Collaboration with independent advisors adds outside perspective
