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:
  1. 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.
  2. Our Consultants leave a better company and better management team in place, not
    shattered by an outsider, but reinforced and supported by Trusted Advisors.
  3. 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!
