Tim Follett in BusinessCloud
Our founder and CEO Tim Follett has written for BusinessCloud on the blind spot that sits inside elite dealmaking — and how recognising it led to StructureFlow.
Drawing on eight years advising on multi-billion-pound transactions at Slaughter and May and Farrer & Co, Tim describes how even the most sophisticated deals relied on static diagrams and documents that couldn’t keep pace with constantly shifting structures. Every time something changed, someone rebuilt the picture from scratch. Risk didn’t come from carelessness. It came from tools that weren’t built for the complexity they were asked to manage.
“The organisations that win won’t be those that avoid complexity, but those that can see and navigate it clearly.”
It’s a sharp, honest account of the gap between how complex structures actually work and how the industry has always managed them — and why closing that gap became a multi-million-pound business.
