20 years of cross-border experience, 5 languages. I know these situations from the inside — growth, MBO/MBI, buy-and-build and the pre-transaction window: where hidden value, risk and waste sit, and how to make them visible with source-checked figures before anyone uses them against you. I work on your file myself, no intermediary layer.
When the visible problem is not the real constraint
Growth can stall while teams are fully occupied. Margin can erode while revenue holds. A transformation can consume capital without changing how the business actually operates. AI investment can start before anyone has a credible business case.
In many cases the stated problem is only the visible symptom. The real constraint sits underneath: hidden work, broken handoffs, weak information, unclear decision rights, conflicting incentives or limited execution capacity.
From operational reality to measurable value
Reveal
Identify hidden tasks, workflow friction, decision bottlenecks, operating constraints and value leakage.
Validate
Test the evidence, assumptions, commercial logic and financial relevance behind the visible problem.
Prioritise
Convert findings into high-conviction decisions and a sequenced value-creation agenda.
Govern execution
Define owners, metrics, controls, workflow changes and review cadence to create measurable progress.

Support high-stakes capital, transformation and operating decisions with a clearer view of value, risk, readiness and execution capacity.
Explore diligence and decision supportGLO25 work is diagnostic and advisory. It is not a formal valuation, audit opinion, or legal, tax, investment or financing advice.
Built for complex operating decisions
GLO25 combines structured diagnosis, an operator’s perspective, commercial evaluation, workflow intelligence and execution governance. Each engagement is built around the decision at stake—not around a standard programme—and every finding is labelled as direct evidence, derivation or assumption, so leadership can see what rests on what.
Six diagnostic instruments
Specific instruments GLO25 applies inside an engagement, depending on the decision and the evidence available.
BoardMind
BoardMind is a separate GLO25 product for supervisory boards: an independent scan of governance blind spots, completed in 1–2 weeks.

What does GLO25 mean by decision intelligence?
GLO25 turns complex operational, commercial and market signals into evidence-backed priorities. We identify what is actually constraining value creation, assess the decisions with the greatest financial and strategic consequence, and design an execution path with measurable outcomes.
When should a company involve GLO25?
GLO25 is relevant when the stated problem does not explain the operational reality: growth has stalled, margin is under pressure, transformation is failing to convert into results, AI investment lacks a clear business case, or an owner, investor, lender or leadership team needs a clearer view of value, risk and execution capacity.
How is GLO25 different from generic consulting or AI implementation?
Generic consulting often delivers analysis, recommendations or transformation programmes. GLO25 starts with operational forensics: identifying the hidden tasks, broken handoffs, decision bottlenecks and value leakage behind visible symptoms. We connect the evidence to growth, margin, cash, risk and execution—then create a governed roadmap rather than a generic innovation plan.
What is HTD™?
HTD™ is GLO25’s diagnostic approach for exposing the hidden tasks, broken handoffs, decision gaps and operating constraints that prevent strategy from becoming measurable performance. It converts qualitative operational reality into a prioritised value-creation agenda.
Workflow Friction Scan
Where does work get stuck in your company, and what does it cost you? Answer five short steps and see it straight away. Free, based only on your own answers.
What you get
- A friction map of six process areas (Sales, Order-to-Cash, Operations, Procurement, HR & People, Support) plus your decision layer, each rated High, Medium or Low.
- The yearly cost of lost time: people × hours lost per week × 46 working weeks × your hourly cost.
- The first thing to fix, set against your goal for the next 90 days.
- Your sector mirror (by email): the top 5 frictions in your sector and an EBITDA reference.
- A printable summary you can take to your team.
What it is based on
- The friction map and cost use only your own answers.
- The sector margin is the median of SEC filings of comparable companies, from GLO25's sector knowledge graph (by NACE code).
- Uplift and top frictions are derived from cited benchmarks: a sector reference, not a forecast for your company.
- The method is GLO25's Hidden Task Detection: it finds the work that never reaches a system, which process mining cannot see.
The scan runs on hiddentasks.com, GLO25's workflow-intelligence site. Every result that leads to a conversation is reviewed by Gino Smit personally; nothing goes out automatically. Estimates are not advice.
