Certified Turnaround Professional
We provide assessment studies to determine the situation, planning and strategy development to direct the company, crisis management to oversee that assets are not squandered away, workout teams that recover assets, and board level oversight to keep the client headed in the right direction.
While there are many descriptions for phases in the turnaround, we believe that they can be summarized into three types. Balance Sheet restructuring is a one-time event normally associated with bankruptcy. But only 15% of chapter 11 cases come out of bankruptcy, so there must be more to the process for true recovery. Most focus by crisis managers is on Financial turnarounds, but you can only cut costs so far. We focus on the operational restructuring to create truly lasting results required by stakeholders. Here is where focus on revenue driven turnarounds, and implementing processes that control the business come into play. We have experience in all three types of turnaround. We prefer to restructure operations for lasting results.
For long term success, the turnaround strategy is important. There are different strategies to be employed depending on where the company is in the crisis, or decline. These strategies are governed by how costs are related to revenue generated. You can reduce assets, cut costs, increase revenues, but when and how are key. We invite you to contact us to see how these methods work in your case.
Our documented success stories capitalize on recovering assets, rebuilding organizations, managing troubled companies to return to profitable growth, transitioning companies into new business sectors, and creating breakthroughs. We invite you to review our credentials.
We enter engagements at one of several stages. While all engagements do not go through all stages, we are able to impact the parties and often change begins immediately.
Stages of Engagement | ||
---|---|---|
Stage | Duration | |
Assessment Study | 3 to 10 days | |
Planning & Evaluation | 30 to 90 days | |
Manage the Company | 6 months to 2 years | |
Sell the Company | 16 weeks to 6 months |
We believe that there is a process of renewal that can guide engagements which is critical to running a company effectively. We utilize this philosophy to revitalize companies. We also believe that it is important to instill the philosopy where possible, to balance the change process -- turn from the crisis reactive mode to the renewal proactive mode and settle the situation. We find this produces results.
We have developed management processes that focus on various phases and actions during the turnaround cycle. This structured and orderly approach allows us a high rate of success in crisis, turnaround and workout engagements. Contact us to discuss the detailed methodology and how this can work for you.
