Performance Improvement & Strategy execution

Companies face special challenges when confronted with crisis situations such as an upcoming restructuring or reorganization. These phases are often defined by stressful in-house discussions about the potential causes of the crisis, a lack of clarity about the necessary countermeasures, insecurity about future perspectives, and critical conversations with banks and investors about further economic development and financing. In times such as these, expedient and rapid decisions and consistent actions are needed.
