TURNAROUND MANAGEMENT
We are the right partner to get the company back on track
Entrepreneurial everyday life increasingly involves financial and operational restructuring, driven by falling margins and prices, surprising slump in sales, loss of market share, changing customer needs, changed profit and loss sources, increasing organizational complexity, acute liquidity problems, etc.
If time is of the essence, a structured focus analysis is necessary, a feasible sanification or a comprehensive restructuring concept and a restructuring team that is able to implement given plans. Concentration of resources, simplicity and uniformity of action, freedom of action, ability to deal with conflict, communication, discipline, courage and assertiveness are decisive.
It is not necessarily difficult to define the necessary restructuring measures, but to implement them promptly and in depth, as well as the transparent and often simultaneous implementation of priority projects and the sustainable change in corporate culture, thinking and working patterns. Everything has to happen in parallel.
Task force and change management assignments require very experienced temporary managers. These special personalities must have leadership, social and methodological skills, stress resistance, assertiveness, immediately applicable work tools and freedom of implementation or a clear framework for action based on agreed goals.
We support our customers in coping with crisis, from analyzing the situation, identifying the causes of the crisis, defining the measures and projects, and implementing and controlling them with ongoing controlling and reporting.
Depending on the crisis stage, causes and liquidity situation, we recommend creating a focus analysis, a continuation concept or a comprehensive restructuring concept to solve the challenges.
