Cost Leakage
Unnecessary spending, duplicated services, poor pricing and inefficient procurement.
Strategic Value Creation
We find the value
others miss.
VICE Advisory identifies hidden cost, revenue, operational and asset opportunities—and works alongside leadership to capture measurable business value.
Independent. Performance-driven. Outcome-focused.
The Problem
Value hides in plain sight.
Most organizations contain unrealized value that traditional reporting, departmental structures and day-to-day operations fail to expose.
Operational Inefficiency
Processes, labour, technology and organizational structures that reduce productivity.
Underutilized Assets
Real estate, facilities, equipment and infrastructure that are not producing their full economic value.
Missed Revenue
Unused capacity, pricing opportunities, new revenue streams and strategic partnerships.
Contract Leakage
Unfavourable terms, outdated agreements, vendor fragmentation and missed renegotiation opportunities.
Capital Inefficiency
Capital being deployed where it produces insufficient financial or operational return.
VICE finds it. Quantifies it. And helps capture it.
The VICE Methodology
From opportunity to measured value.

Capabilities
Where we find hidden value
Nine disciplines applied to the places value most often goes unrecognized.
Cost Optimization
Operating expenses, overhead and unnecessary spending.
Procurement & Vendor Strategy
Vendor pricing, sourcing, consolidation and purchasing.
Operational Performance
Processes, labour, workflows and productivity.
Real Estate & Asset Optimization
Facilities, properties, equipment and infrastructure.
Technology & Infrastructure
Automation, systems, energy and digital infrastructure.
Revenue Growth
Pricing, unused capacity, partnerships and new revenue opportunities.
Contract Optimization
Commercial terms, renewals and vendor agreements.
Capital Optimization
Capital planning, investment prioritization and ROI.
Risk Reduction
Operational, financial, asset and organizational exposure.
The Measure
Everything comes back to value.
Every recommendation should ultimately connect to a measurable financial or operational outcome.

Commercial Real Estate
National Property Portfolio
- Challenge
- A 2.5M sq ft multi-tenant portfolio faced rising operating costs and flat net operating income, with vendor contracts negotiated independently at each property.
- What VICE Found
- Fragmented vendor pricing across janitorial, HVAC and landscaping, duplicated service scopes, over-assessed property tax on several assets, and recoverable operating costs not being fully billed back to tenants.
- Strategy
- Consolidated vendor agreements to portfolio-level pricing, filed assessment appeals on the highest-variance assets, corrected recovery calculations, and sequenced energy retrofits by payback period.
- Value Identified
- $1.2M – $2.0M / yr
- Value Captured
- Operating cost reduction
Healthcare
Regional Health System
- Challenge
- A four-hospital system under margin pressure needed savings that would not affect clinical staffing or patient care standards.
- What VICE Found
- Overlapping supply catalogues across sites, off-contract purchasing, uncoordinated equipment service agreements, and building systems running full-load outside occupied hours.
- Strategy
- Rationalized the supply catalogue to standardized SKUs, renegotiated equipment service coverage, and implemented scheduling and control changes across mechanical plant.
- Value Identified
- $2.5M – $4.0M / yr
- Value Captured
- Non-clinical spend reduction
