Business Restructuring and Turnaround Management
Restructuring and turnaround management require a deep intervention in the routines and creative, realistic new approaches.
„Anything that works is allowed.“
Max Frisch, Swiss author and architect (1911-1991)1892)
The principle of throwing away is not only known from consumer behaviour, but is also widespread in the management practise. When restructuring is mentioned, ideas and measurements are often limited to the liabilities side of the balance sheet. The effective levers for operational restructuring remain unused, perhaps even undetected.
Reliably identifying a coordinated bundle of suitable levers whith which companies can be restructured in a resonable time, and then actually moving these levers, requires a sharp eye, experience with system-compatible change processes, and the willingness of bringing in a high level of personal energy and leadership.
Your challenge
Organizations in need of reorganization do not generate adequate returns and are prone to failure. But these are only the visible effects of these organizations having lost the capability needed for stable and waste-free learning processes. Restructuring means regaining these capabilities and putting them to work. Restructuring means enabling the organization to rediscover what is essential and returning it to strategic entrepreneurship and operational excellence.
Restructuring is a creative process with people in their obviously difficult economic environment. To restructure is to innovate. The creative process can, in the search for a better way, end up in a difficult environment; it can also lead to a way out of a difficult environment. In either case, it is about survival. Time is a critical factor in a restructuring process: you need a secure balance between creative action and tangible results. To manage this balancing act, you need excellent communication and decisive action.
