Crisis and Turnarounds
Turbo Turnarounds - 2 WEEKS Maximum in Full-Time Mode
Our APPROACH - "A Catalyst for Action"
Our approach is to help the current management, not to replace them. In many instances,
management has not had to deal in a turnaround environment and are struggling with many
issues including finance, operations, marketing, existing contractual obligations.
WE HELP in the following ways:
1. TRIAGE - 24-72 hour process rapidly indicates what needs immediate attention.
2. CRISIS PLAN & EXECUTION - two-week process includes TRIAGE
3. MAINTENANCE - After the TWO-WEEK TURBO TURNAROUND, we drop back to "part-
time support" to company or the project as coach and mentor as needed.
THREE IMPORTANT RESULTS:
- Management learns what to do and how to do it - successfully turning their situaiton
around with immediate actions coming first from TRIAGE and THE PLAN.
- Our Consultants leave a better company and better management team in place, not
shattered by an outsider, but reinforced and supported by Trusted Advisors.
- We don't look to replace management nor play the blame game, but to help
management deal with the issues successfully. We are a Catalyst for Action!
